8 Month Tid Bits

8 Months...I'm loving this stage.  His face just lights up as he learns and discovers new things.  I am still hopelessly in love with his gummy smile and am secretly hoping that those pearly whites will wait a little longer to come in. 

So what he is doing....

***HE IS ON THE MOVE!!!!  Crawling like a champ.  And if there is a computer or cell phone on the floor he is a speed demon.  He is so funny to watch, his hands plop down like hammers as he propels himself forward.  He stops a lot and goes up on hands and feet with his little butt way up in the air.  Silly boy is trying to stand up.

*** Pulling up.  He has gone from all fours to up on his knees a few times and up to his feet once. (It's a good thing I went to babies r us and spent $250 bucks on gates this morning!  We have also covered the brick fire place with those silly foam covers, atleast they come in brown now.

***Eating table food.  He still gags on a few things but he is enjoying the wider assortment of tastes that have been introduced to his mouth.

***Babbling tons.  I still have yet to hear the "Ma" sound, but we get lots of "ga", "ka" and a few "da's".

What he loves:

*** Most recently he is interested in the Speedway with cars and a spinning track.  I think he could care less about the cars and much more prefers the spinning center.

*** The comcast remote.  Now don't be fooled, this is not the comcast remote that we use to change the channels....its his very own Comcast remote.  He took interest in ours a few months ago, and instead of wasting money on a toy remote that he would never play with, I found an actual comcast remote on ebay and bought it.  Now I'm looking into buying a lap top and a cell phone (not really!)

***  Still a fan of Sesame Street and Elmo is still his favorite.

***  His tower of colored rings

***  The wire maze

***  Audrey Cat

***  The farm animals that make noise when you touch their bellies.  Thanks to the $1 bin at target

***  His cloth book

***  Hangin out on the couch with his dad

***  Swinging at the play ground

***  Music

***  People watching, put him in a crowd and he is happy as a clam

Tis the season to be Wheezin...

RSV found us this week.  :(  Thankfully he doesn't have it too bad.  Sure his lungs are singing a little squeaky tune, but all in all he is still my happy playful guy.  And most importantly still sleeping through the night.  He does look super cute in his mask though.  Surprisingly I actually didn't bring it home to him, he caught it from his three kiddo daycare.  So for now its nebulizers and bulb suction every few hours!
