Now you're 8 Months!

8 months

Time sure flies when you are having fun, and everyday with you is fun! This month, you got to experience your first Millsaps Homcoming. Maybe next year you can taste all the good food! We even had our picture made with the Major, and I hope that you will fall in love with Millsaps just as I did.

You now have your two bottom teeth in, and I think your top two will be in within the week.

You experienced your first Halloween! You were the cutest little dragon!

You have gotten very active. You love to play with your toys, but your favorite toys are still the remote control and momma and daddy's cell phone. You love your Sophie because she makes your baby gums feel better, and Freddie the firefly is still a toy that will keep you occupied for a little while. You love chewing on the chew toys attached and the bright colors are fun.

You started crawling this month! Even though you don't pick your stomach off the floor, you can still get around pretty well. You move your arms and legs in the crawling motion; you just don't want to hold yourself up! Because of this, Daddy had to baby proof the house. He put locks on the cabinets, and we plugged up all the electrical outlets. We even rearranged the furniture so you would have a lot of space to play!

You pulled yourself up from sitting to standing for the first time. You are still pretty wobbly, but you love standing.

You helped Mommy celebrate her 28th birthday. We went out to eat with Grandma and Grandpa You had your first hibachi dinner. You weren't a big fan of the habatchi, but don't worry, you have more opportunities to grow to love it like your momma does!

We got to visit Oxford for Misty's birthday. You had fun hanging out with Aunt Misty and Uncle Dustin. We went out to eat, went shopping, and got to watch Penny dog do her training. You loved seeing all those doggies play together!

You had your first surgery, and you were a champ through it all. Your doctor said it would be worse for me, and he was right. You were back to your happy self the very next day.

You are still a nursaholic, and I hope that does not change any time soon. You might wake me many times during the night, but I am cherishing every time because I know that these moments won't last forever.

I love you to the moon and back!
