wrc . 8 months

let's see, let's see little man. your 8th month was FULL of new things.

you began to really take off on your hands and knees and a busy little boy you are! along with that came pulling up on everything you can. you set your little eyes on a prize and go after it full force. one of your favorite things to go after is your brothers. they continue to be the apple of your eye, especially that grey bear.

you are now joining in on all of their fun rather than just watching. as long as it's not too rough. just last night daddy was wrestling with grey and tuck and you sat in amazement before taking off for the action. once you got close enough, you reached for mommy. it really was a little too rough so i was happy to laugh along with you. if it's not too rough, you crawl over and on and all around your brothers. you love when they "sit" on you and bounce. you giggle and giggle and make sure i'm right there to watch. 

i have a suspicion you are going to be an attention hog. if no one is looking your direction you have learned to squeal VERY loudly so that we can't help but pay attention to you! today on our trip to the  store you squealed and squealed grabbing everyone's attention around you just so you could hear them say how adorable you are. you allow mommy to meet all kinds of new people and have some great conversation! one lady asked to take you home :) 

one of your favorite places to play other than grey and tuck's room is your own room! as soon as i get you out of your bed, you are reaching for your basket of toys and will play contentedly for awhile. you are enjoying books and especially books about dogs. we are working on teaching you to say 'woof woof!' i have a feeling it may be coming soon because you sure do like to talk a lot! more than both your brothers at this age. you babble babble babble while you play and ride in the car. you love to mimic sounds and try to talk back when we talk to you. grey thinks this is so special. he talks with you more than anyone.  

you still love to play with my hair while you nurse. you also prefer to be held and sung to before sleeping. i love to hold you so close before laying you down. i will treasure these moments for as long as i live.

you are indeed another momma's boy. as you grow, your attachment to me also grows. you will let others hold you and entertain you for a time but only a short time while i'm around. i am enjoying our time together day by day. i love watching you grow and learn and understand the world around you. you are coming into your own little person and it is a pleasure to be with you every step of the way.
