Eight Months

Eight months

At a whopping eight months, T loves:
-To MOVE!! He's got a great army crawl going where he drags himself along his tummy with the sheer strength of his arms.  And he's fast!  Occasionally he'll get one foot in on the action - and every once in a while he'll get his back end going faster than his arms and he'll crash his face into the carpet.  He doesn't seem to mind though. He does hold himself up on his hands and knees (below) but can't quite figure out how to move in that position.

-To play with doors... open and shut, open and shut, open and shut.  Sometimes rogue body parts (usually his head) get in the way, but he does pretty well other than that.
-To pick up every little thing he finds on the ground...crumbs, grass, pebbles, paper, you name it - he's found it!
-To stand and wants to stand up every where - including the bath tub.  Danger!

-Going on walks in his stroller.  Since we've had such a mild winter, we take plenty of walks around our neighborhood and on the path.  

-To hear Take Me Out to the Ballgame - it seems to be his favorite tune these days.
-To play with balls.  He's so intrigued by throwing and rolling any ball around - especially since he can now get around to retrieve them.
-His dad.  He's pretty obsessed with G.  He only wants G to hold him and cries when he leaves the house or just the room.  Its pretty adorable, but hey - we think everything he does is adorable.  Including his newest trick where he stands in dad's hand.  Brave boy!

During T's eighth month, we celebrated his first Easter.  We had a fun weekend that included a community easter egg hunt with friends and not one but TWO Easter baskets.

Finding eggs - not so sure about the pokey grass.

The next day his Easter package arrived from Grandma Anne.  Thanks Grammy!


And now for some superfluous pictures of T's many faces (and his cute profile).

We are seriously in love.
