This jolly guy turned 8 months on the 20th!! He seriously is the happiest, unless he's tired or too hungry. But even then he barely cries, just whines a bit and flails his jazz hands (as I like to call them). He's extremely vocal at home but a little shy when we are out and about. Never holds back that smile though. Ever so slowly trying some foods. Found out about tummy sleeping and has been giving us some great stretches of sleep! Like I feel totally normal and not a sleep deprived zombie! He loves being outside, playing the piano, and moving himself around the whole downstairs in his walker. He loves loud noises and is truly enamored by his dada and Lucy. When Cory makes coffee in the morning he starts laughing and chatting to him.
LIKES include what's above, as well as being around other kids. We've been hanging out with more babies and younger kids and he seriously is so chatty with them. I think he knows they can be future friends and just wants to love on them. He'll hand other babies toys and smile and chat to them. It's so adorable and I can't wait to see him actually talking and interacting with friends. Gotta wait a few years for that though!
DISLIKES include waiting for the bottle when he's too hungry or changing his diaper in the middle of the night (I don't blame him). He doesn't like be startled by the dog's barks or when I leave him alone during tummy time. He's not crawling yet but we are working on it. I think this little guy is a tad lazy so we are needing to really encourage and gently nudge him to keep working on building those muscles. But with everything I've learned so far, he meets these milestones when he is ready and not a day early.
We seriously cannot get enough of this guy and Cory whispers to me most nights, "gosh is he cute". What a blessing he has been.
