Happy 8 months!

Time is sure flying.  Baby C turns 8 months old today.  He is growing so fast and interacts with all of us so much.  His personality is definitely showing.  I love how he gives me a huge smile when I wake up in the morning or when I come home from work.

At 8 months:

- he has 8 teeth total (4 on top and 4 on bottom)
- he smiles for the camera
- he cannot crawl forward, but can push himself backward
- he likes to stand and hold onto the table or couch (no walking yet)
- he does not stay still when changing his diaper, which makes it difficult to change him
- he loves going outside to look around
- he fits into the restaurant high chairs, but is still a bit small for the shopping carts.  I still put him in the shopping cart, but need to use the clasps to strap him in
- he loves to make different noises and will even squeal at the top of his lungs sometimes
- he has tried numerous foods already, including fish, tofu, pumpkin, yogurt, carrots, bread, and peas
- he sleeps from 8:30 or 9:30 PM to 8 to 8:30 AM.  One time he slept the entire night, which was wonderful...but that was only one night.  The rest of the time, he will wake up once or twice.  When will I get my sleep back?  Hee hee.

I love you Baby C and can't wait to see more of your personality shine through.
