This begs the rhetorical question: where has the time gone ? But seriously, where?? I can scarcely wrap my head around the idea that you are approaching 8 months ... I have also been meaning to write this post since you were 6MO. Time has clearly gotten away from me.
What can I say about you ? Where do I even begin ? You are one amazing little baby guy. You are very smiley, giggley, & are you ever a flirt!!! We quite often describe you as a flirt & a stinker. You kind of have your own agenda. You are very, very curious. When we hold you in our arms, you attempt to get your cute, chubby little mits on whatever we are holding. You like to "help". Anything is fair game from the craft beer we are sipping in to your medicine (Prevacid for reflux) to food to toys to mommy's coffee. Anything within arm's reach you go after. You really keep us on our toes!
You are an independent sitter, too! You sit so well all by yourself! Every so often you might topple over , particularly if you lean over too far or if you fall victim to your sister's efforts to push you over (hmm, I think she is a stinker , too!)
You are beginning to become mobile, too. When you are on the floor you are able to rotate around in a circle with your belly as the axis. You are trying soooo hard to push yourself forward on your tummy!! You can easily slide backward, pushing with your arms on your belly. But that isn't what my guy wants, he wants to go forward in pursuit of his toys ... & his sister ... & the cats ... & Dexter ... (there are so many interesting things in our house for an 8 month old!!)
Yesterday you demonstrated that you can clap ... For real & not just coincidentally! Oh my goodness, it was just sooooo sweet how innocently proud of yourself you were as Grandma Deuby, Daddy, Grandpa Deuby, & Mommy & Quinn cheered you on & clapped with you ! Such fun ! I just can't get over how sweet & innocent & lovable & cuddly & amazing you are!!
What else about you at this age ... Baby Taitadactyl. You can make lots of noise!! & you love to get our attention by doing so. So fun & so silly! ... You have quite the arm, too. Beyond grabbing after everything in your swath, you can toss a toy like nobody's business ! & far!
I can scarcely believe you are 8 MO. I want you to stop getting older & growing ... But I also love each new & stage for a multitude of reasons. Bittersweet is the best way to describe my feelings!
All my love for always ,
Mommy
