you love: grabbing bowls/cups/toast/berries off your brother's little table, putting things in your mouth that are dangerous, slapping patting things, pushing chairs/walkers/tricycles, eating, and riding in the stroller.
you hate: sitting still for any reason at all, food that's too smooth, being rocked or held too long, and all your baby toys.

This month's picture was by far the hardest to capture, little one! You are on the move! I think I took 20 photos and this one was the only was that wasn't blurry...but we got it. You've got a couple different speeds for crawling now: one for a general I don't care how long it takes me to get there and one for Daddy's home - hurry! We love seeing you kick it into high gear - it's hilarious.
You really love to eat. As soon as I set you in the high chair you start slapping the tray and happy-screaming. We've done away with the purées - you were sick of the boring consistency. You always liked the broccoli/carrots but were not too fond of the sweet potato/apple (or any that included fruit). Instead, I've been mashing things like avocados, bananas, oranges and white peaches. This has made you an extra good eater - you love the chunky texture. You also have taken a liking to YoBaby yogurt, thank goodness. It makes for an easy morning.
You're becoming a bit of a talker, trying out new syllables here and there. Like most babies, the "da da da" came out easily in which your father screamed that's it - his first word!! but I proclaimed that in order for it to be considered a first word it must be used in context. So a few days later when you crawled towards me saying "ma, ma" I concluded that was it. MAMA!
The greatest part of this month is that you've been sleep trained...hallelujah! Really! At night you sleep from 6:30 pm - 5:30 am, waking once or twice to nurse. I'm just not ready to give up all the night feedings - it's our bonding time. Until you're a year (or however long you need) we will nurse in the middle of the night just once. You've ditched your third nap, so during the day you nap from 8-9:30 and 12-2. It rocks.
You're just a champ at life, dude. We love you to pieces.
xoxo, Happy Eight Months.
{P.S. - Your brother wanted a "monthlie" as well...so here he is looking cuter than ever.}
