8 Months!


HUGE MILESTONE LAST MONTH...I STARTED CRAWLING JUST AFTER 7 MONTHS!!!!!!! Defined crawler as of 7/30/15
Oh man am I into everything!  I explore, climb over legs and on top of mommy and daddy, stand up on my own with the help of my trusty furniture and love to find little spots that are my just my size.  Now mom and dad can actually tell what I want because I crawl to whatever I want!  I also get really needy.  When I want my mommy to pick me up, I crawl to her feet and tug at her legs.  It helps if she's wearing pants.  I'm getting pretty good at going where I want to go.  It won't be long until I'm a little walker!
This month I have also started:
-getting really good at using a sippy cup
-annoying mom and dad when they eat (they seriously cannot eat in front of me...it's too big of an ordeal)
-eating a lot more types of variety of foods (more and more of what mom and dad are eating)

-not napping well because I like to stand up in my crib and talk

-saying "dadadadadada" 
-sucking on my bottom lip to make funny noises
-love playing with bottles of creams and lotions
-squealing when I get excited (oh and kicking and bouncing are apart of that excitement)
-chasing my shadow
-making noises like I'm a monster
-laughing when mom and dad start my favorite video of all time (still Sounds the Animals Make on YouTube)

-my ticklish giggles!  I'm most ticklish on the sides of my tummy and under my arm pits.  I squeal when my mom blows under my arms
-loving being thrown in the air and going outside
-making an "o" face (that's what mom and dad call it)

-saying mamamam when I'm tired/sad
-thinking nothing is better than the anticipation of mom coming to get me

-making the SAME face dad makes when he cleans out his ears when mom cleans mine
-making mommy and daddy very happy that I am their son.  I have a lot of personality and it's starting to show!
*Still no teeth! But I gnaw on everything, even toes.
**I went on my first vacation this month with mom and dad.  We went to a family reunion and later in the month, my great grandpas funeral.  They realized I'm an ANGEL in the car!  I either sleep or play.  I love my car seat...even for 5 hour drives! They think I'm a pretty good baby ;)
