8 Months Old

Here is our monthly photo:

He's getting harder and harder to snap a monthly picture because he wants to play with the paper and climb all over the chair. Here are some more pictures from the monthly photo shoot:

This has been a big month for him.

*He can pull himself up on things. This meant we had to lower his crib mattress

*He's almost completely weaned from breastfeeding. 

*His meals rotate between baby food, table food and formula. 

*He sleeps for 12-13 hours at night, which is W-O-N-D-E-R-F-U-L!

*He will walk himself along the edge of furniture

*He started using some hand gestures

His likes this month are the same.

We have discovered one dislike: Loud sudden noises. We will probably be skipping fireworks for a few years. Also, Dan has learned some creative ways to cheer for his sports teams without jumping up and yelling. :)

Now on to some more pictures from this month:

This first one is Roman trying to climb out of his swing -- while it is swinging. And yes, I am the kind of mother that snaps a picture before helping him.

 

 Playing with George nearby (always)

What a Ham!

Photo Op with his Tiger

Blurry, but I loved that their expression and arms were the same

With Daddy at the Park

Some more climbing

Pouting and drinking his milk. He was not happy that I was gone most of the day

Happy Hump Day, Everyone!
