Today you are eight months old, I simply can't fathom that in four months you will be a year old! This past month has been amazing with you as you continue to grow into your little personality! This time last year your dad and I were anxiously awaiting your impending arrival, and never in my life could I have imagined how much love we feel for you today!
This month we have seen some big changes with you! Two itty bitty teeth have finally appeared on your lower gums! For a few weeks I thought you would never get teeth and then suddenly they appeared one day. You put anything and everything in your mouth including but not limited to water bottles, car keys, jingle bells, and books. I learned my lesson about letting you have the car keys when on the day before Thanksgiving you were playing with them while we were leaving the grocery store and you ended up locking in the car. I felt like an epic mom failure but thankfully the store is only about five minutes from our house and your dad came and unlocked the car for us!
You bah bah bah and sputter all day long! If we are not paying attention to you and you want our attention, you start grunting and laughing hysterically, you can be quite the character! You are also starting to stand up and pull up on things. I don't think you will walk anytime soon but we shall see! In mid-November we took you on your second plane ride and you did great! You could tell we were the people no one wanted to sit next to but everyone who ended up with us remarked on how well you took to riding the plane! Hopefully it will be just as easy later this month when we fly to your grandparent's house!
You continue to sleep through the night and wear mainly 9-12 months clothing. This month your dad and I broke down and finally put shoes on you, and they make you look so much older! You are wearing a size four shoe and it seems like you have a little room to grow in those little shoes. Food is pretty much the same this month but I think once those teeth come in a little more we can start giving you table food.
Firsts this month:
1. teeth
2. Thanksgiving
3. standing up
4. Christmas tree
Happy eight months Rowen Joseph!!
