William is 8-months-old today!
- He has pretty much gotten over his first illness (he's been sick for the last few weeks - snotty nose, cough, fever)
- he rolls around & spins all over the floor
- attempts to clap his hands by slapping the top of one hand with the other while raising his arms up & down (does that make sense?)
- plays peek-a-boo & anticipates where I'll pop up (sometimes he finds me before I can 'surprise' him - he's such a smart boy)
- pulls himself onto my lap while I'm on the floor
- turns his head faster than I can wipe his snotty nose
- sucks air in to talk, so he sounds like his lungs are going to collapse
- loves splashing in the water (he soaks everything! he doesn't care if the water splashes right in his face either (& I mean a big splash), he just keeps on going w/o batting an eye)
- leans over while in the sitting position to rest his head on my leg while playing with his toy
- loves strangers
- LOVES dogs
- sticks his tongue out a lot & pants
- laughs when I kiss & blow raspberries on his neck
- has 4 teeth
- says "mama" & "dada" even though he doesn't know what they mean
- snuggles with me while we nap in my bed (this is a new favorite of mine, though he usually naps in his crib)
- holds up his arms when he sees me coming to pick him up
- weighs about 17 lb 12 oz
- calms down or smiles when I sing to him (a huge bonus for me since I've always been scared to sing in front of others - he's the only person I'll really sing in front of b/c he won't judge me, at least not yet)
I could go on & on - my little guy is such a sweetheart. I love him so much & realize how blessed I am to have him - he's my miracle baby.
8 months old, I can't believe it Will is getting so big. I love this stage that he is in, they are so fun and playful.
ReplyDeletei can't believe it!! it seems like just yday we were doing your maternity pics!! he is such a sweetheart & pretty much the cutest boy ever!!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that he is already eight months. He is getting so big. I want to see him again so bad. I can't believe that he does all those things. He has grown up so much since the last time I have seen him
ReplyDeleteIsn't it wonderful to see the changes he is making? Sounds like he is one happy boy. He looks so sweet. I hope we can see you guys soon! 8 months is a fun age! Take care and we miss you guys!!!
