8 Month Update

I am embarrassed at how late I am with this post because he will be 9 months on Saturday...

Sawyer turned 8 months old on Aug. 22nd.  I feel like I say this every month, but where has the time gone?  He is getting to be such an independent little man, especially now that he is crawling around everywhere. 


8 Month Highlights:

- He loves to smile and laugh.  This is absolutely my favorite thing about my son.  He LOVES to smile. Even  if I've had a horrible day, I cannot look at him smiling at me and not be filled with joy!

- He is pulling up on everything in sight.  He is even attempting to pull his entire body up on the furniture.  This has not been accomplished as of yet, but I have a feeling it's just around the corner. 

- He seems to like his new surroundings and has adapted easily to his new home. 

- He loves to do this yelling/screaming bit all the time.  At first it was sort of funny, but after one trip to a quiet restaurant, I sort of miss my quiet little baby.

- He seems to really love his daycare and teachers.  I especially love when I get to his classroom in the afternoons.  When he looks up and smiles at me, I literally melt.

- He is no longer saying "mama."  Already being stubborn, I guess.  I try all the time to get him to say it, but now all I ever hear is "dadada."

- He is still really good about going to people and is really such a ham.  He loves people who wear glasses or have grey hair for some reason.

- He still has only his two bottom teeth, but his top incisors are about to break through, which is probably going to look pretty odd.

- He still LOVES to be outside and especially to swing out under the tree in our backyard.

- He will crawl in tight places and then get upset when he gets stuck.  I don't understand why he keeps doing this over and over.

- He loves being bounced, rocked, and kissed.  He smiles every time someone kisses his cheek, which makes it impossible for me to resist.  :)


Smiley!


Bathtime is fun!
