8 Months Old!

The last 8 months have been such a wonderful wild ride! You have changed more than I ever thought possible. You do such a great job sleeping at night. Still an early bird! You always wake with a huge smile and giggle for your Mama. Actually, you laugh and smile all day. At times, you scream for pure joy! We are still trying to get you to understand that the library and nice restaurants are not good places to show this extreme side of your personality. I hope you keep your fun loving ways. Your happiness is so contagious! You are definitely becoming a mover and a shaker. You can roll across a room in a flash. You are very close to crawling...Once you figure out what to do with your knees, God help us! You are eating, eating and eating! Your favorites are macaroni and cheese and peaches. Although, you really don't turn your nose up at anything. I guess that's why you are a whopping 20 pounds! You still enjoy getting out and about. You love the library (I guess that's why you scream with joy as soon as we walk in!). Grandma and Papa Snider's house is also a place you are starting to LOVE! It's very easy to get those two to smile and laugh at your performances on the floor. They even enjoy that screaming for joy thing! You have become a master with using your hands. You still love to grab your Daddy's glasses. You wait until he puts them on you for a second then you are happy to let him be. You love being read to before naps and bedtime. Your Daddy and I lay on the floor with you and read your favorite books. We then let you hold the book and shake it over your head. Some of your favorite titles are Pat the Bunny(your Daddy's book when he was a kid), Little Duck (from your Granny Marjorie), Anything with Tweety Bird or Big Bird and animal touch and feel books. You bring such joy to everyone who meets you. Thank you sweet guy for being you. Love- Mommy and Daddy
