Today You Are Eight Months
Dear Samuel, You're eight months today and the cutest little pumpkin in the patch! You've been very active this month, although I know it's nothing compared to what you'll be capable of once you start crawling and walking. This past month you...
started sitting up on your own, though it never lasts for long (see previous blog entry)
decided you also like blueberries, peaches, plums and asparagus, but not so much turkey - it was a little rough on your tummy, huh?
attended your first outdoor festival - Richardson's Cottonwood - with Gram and Pops
rolled over on your tummy and fussed
met your Uncle Jeff, who promptly posted you on what Daddy affectionally calls "the Facebook", where sadly you've never been before!
rolled over on your tummy and grunted
shopped with Mommy for your first Halloween pumpkin (a little baby one)
rolled over on your tummy and cried
started playing peek-a-boo...with Mommy, Gram, and even by yourself!
rolled over on your tummy and screamed
learned how to play catch with your pretty rainbow ball; you get so excited when you "catch" it!
started bouncing up and down, like you're keeping a really cool beat, when you decide to sit on your own
sat and watched while Sophie tried to steal your socks - right off your feet - TWICE!
added "da-da" and "nuh-nuh" to your list of baby babbles
watched a helicopter take off close-up
continued to work on pushing those bottom two teeth out
began playing in your big-boy play-pen - out came the newborn mattress. You like your little baby-cave
belly-laughed at Mommy's impression of Adam Sandler impersonating Scooby Doo...ZOINKS! It's not as good as Daddy's, but it still gets you every time
tipped the scales at 19 pounds at the beginning of the month
got a big-boy umbrella stroller for quick-trips
propped yourself up from tummy position once. Please do it again! It will make
Love you Monkey.
Love,
Mommy
