Although the first two pics turned out really cute, the third is a much more accurate snapshot into our little photo sessions. He is so nosey and so curious about everything he shouldn't have. :)
I can't believe our lil "Moose" is EIGHT MONTHS OLD. I really can't. The phrase "time flies when you're having fun" couldn't be more true. These are the best, best days of our lives. We couldn't have been blessed with a sweeter, cuter, more content baby.
Sweet Jakey, here's what you've been up to this month:
Crawlin' like a pro. You follow me around the house, wherever I go. At night when your Daddy or I run the bath water for you, you come crawlin' around the corner and give the sweetest grin when we make eye contact.
-You've started getting little scratches and bumps as you move about. It is so hard to watch! I know this is just the beginning but it makes me so sad when you hurt!
-You still LOVE being read to. Today we probably read 7 books in a row and you never lost interest.
-You are lovin' your paci, probably more than you ever have before. But, you are not dependent on it.
-You're pulling up on anything and everything. You love to pull up to a stand and let go of whatever you're holding onto. You're also beginning to stand on your own.
-You giggle and giggle when your Papaw "eats your tummy" and kisses your face. You come away with red marks from his whiskers but you LOVE it! He tries to talk to you when Mommy is on the phone with him, even if I don't have it on speaker. It's pretty entertaining! :)
-You constantly say "dada, dada, dada" when your Daddy gets home every evening
-We cuddle in the rocker in your room every day, and getting you up and putting you down "night night" are some of my very favorite times
-You continue to nap atleast 3 times per day, sleep in your stroller or carseat, and sleep all night every single night. We got so lucky with that!
-Your favorite things are the cell phone, the laptop cord, the remote for the tv, car keys, and my camera. You love my camera! In atleast half of the pictures I take you're hand is right in the lens!
-You're still a big boy! You're over the weight limit for your infant carrier and have a toddler seat on the way. You are in a size 4/5 diaper, 4 shoe, and mostly 12-18 month clothes. There are still some occasions where 9 month clothes fit you, and I love it when they do! You're still supposed to be little!
-You are sooo friendly! Today we were at a restaurant and you made eye contact with a lady that was looking at you. You smiled big at her and then buried your head into me. Then, you looked up and found her again, she was still looking at you and you buried your head again. You try to act shy and it is the cutest thing I have ever seen!
-You are so good, whether we're out and about or enjoying a relaxing or productive day at home- you make it so easy!
-You're a little daredevil. You love a good toss in the air, run in your stroller, anything that's got a good thrill to it. Yay!
-We spend our days playing, cuddling, giggling, tickling, talking, going to playdates, running errands, having photo shoots, playing peek-a-boo, reading books, and just enjoying our every moment together. You are perfect and we thank God everyday for you.
