Big Brother's Hand-me-downs...

Mom and Dad jokingly say I'm the baby they had on a shoe-string budget. Aside from my cute reusable diapers, I've been wearing Big Brother's hand-me-downs. I don't mind it, and who knows, maybe someday I will be an astronaut!

Eight Months...

Because I had to go to the pediatric clinic this past week due to a bad virus, my first fever, we know that I weigh 16lbs 3 oz. I am starting to sit up and said my first word this weekend - Dada. I've already been signing "milk" and "more".

Breast milk is still a major part of my diet, but I also enjoy it mixed with various types of cereals. And on occasion I also enjoy some of Mom's homemade sauces - apple cinnamon is my favorite. Peach makes me gag and make funny faces. And I'm fine eating peas.

I crawl everywhere. Legos are my favorite toys. And I'm obsessed with getting into any kind of cord - scares Mom and Dad and makes me laugh. Big Brother T Rex is still my favorite entertainment. He will shake his head and I will do the same. Before I know it, Mom cannot feed me because I just keep doing what Brother does. It really gets us all giggling.

This is what this eight month old has been up to - can you believe how quickly time is passing?

New Toy...

A gift I received shortly after I was born. I'm now old enough to enjoy it.



Oh, I have to mention the outfit, too. From a large lot of hand-me-downs...

Loving it all!

Crawling...

This is a photo of my first crawl (August 22, 2010) - the ball was my motivation and it is still my favorite object to crawl after (with the exception of Big Brother, of course). Now, I'm an expert army crawler and enjoying getting into everything.

First Tooth...

Much more visible in the very last photo...





Mom spotted it today during lunch time - pardon the tiny bit of carrots on my nose.

Nearly 7 1/2 months old and my first tooth (bottom, front, and to my left side).

(Mom and Dad are so sad that my toothless grin is disappearing but also glad to see I'm making my way along the developmental milestones.)
