8 Months

I love this little 8 month old! He has quite the personality, and is a good mix of everything really.  He's very determined and wants what he wants right then and there, he is super sensitive and cries at loud noises, when we scare him and pretty much every time he falls over when sitting up, he is so happy most the time and loves to laugh and smile.  He loves to be in his new bouncer that he got for Christmas, and he has gotten really good at bouncing.  A few more things about Walter at 8 months old:

• He is wearing size 2 diapers and size 9 month clothes, Carters brand is really the only brand that fits him
• He is taking 2 naps a day now
• He is waking up once or twice a night- I think mainly because he is still in our room and we wake him sometimes, so this next month we are going to be transitioning him to his own room- something I am totally dreading :(
• He is eating 3 meals a day, and still nursing in between.  He has fruit for breakfast, veggies for lunch and oatmeal for dinner
• He loves drinking out of juice boxes with a straw
• He is still attached to his blankie more than ever
• He absolutely loves our kitty- even though she is a brat
• He is so so so close to scooting, I think his head is just too big and he cant keep it up long enough to go anywhere
• He is so ticklish
• He does the cutest "squishy face" when he is upset, or sometimes he just does it just because
• He has waved bye bye a couple times
• He has given me open mouth kisses a couple of times
• I always have the TV on during the day, just for background noise, and when certain commercials come on, he stops whatever he is doing and just stares at the TV with the biggest smile on his face until it is over. (You would think that his favorite commercials would be ones with music or something, which he has a couple of those, but then he also loves one of the quit smoking adds that show an open heart surgery going on and a drunk driving one- kinda random.)

Squishy face!

He really is the sweetest little boy and has such a sweet spirit about him, I love him so much and am so lucky that he choose me as his mom :)
