8 months old

my EIGHT month old!! WOW
  • He tried puffs this month but he did not like them. He also tried a Mum-mum and made the funniest faces, he did not like it but kept on eating it. I will probably wait till he gets some teeth before trying any puffs again.
  • He has started rocking on his hands and knees, I think crawling is just around the corner
  • He rolls ALL over the place.
  • He FINALLY started saying "ma-ma". I was afraid all he would ever say was da-da. :)
  • If this little guy can reach it it goes in his mouth... definitely keeps me on his toes.  I've caught him with a piece of a foam airplane in his mouth, he was chewing it, even though he has no teeth.
  • He still naps so easily, one little song and then we put him down. he may roll for a few minutes but never fusses and then just goes to sleep.
  • his has found his tongue and loves to stick it out. he also likes to make an "O" face. he usually does one or the other
  • Boy oh boy has the mommy anxiety kicked in, this little guy loves his momma. If I turn to walk away from him, even just to reach behind me for something, he MELTS down. As soon as he can see my face again he is fine. XOXO
  • Liam loves stuffed animals, he gets so excited when he sees one of Avery's animals, especially mickey and minnie mouse. He reaches for it and their nose goes right into his mouth. yum! haha!
  • One of his favorite tricks is to take his fist to his mouth, say "aaaa" and bring it back and forth to his mouth, sounds like an indian chant.
  • He is wearing mostly 9 mo clothes and some 12 mo.
  • Next month he will go for his 9 month check up, can't see what he officially weighs now.

Happy 8 month birthday Liam David! we love you more and more each day!

Big girl bed



Today is another big day in the world of Avery Jo. Her toddler rails for her crib arrived today. Naptime was a little rough, she took about 2.5 hrs to finally fall asleep. I think she was just too excited after being at Papa and Gramma's house and then her new found freedom with her bed.  Liam was just all smiles, as usual! Tonight is her first night wearing her big girl panties instead of a diaper and I'm expecting an accident but we'll see. She has been mostly waking up dry and 2 nights ago actually woke chris up to take her potty at about 2am! Here we go....
