Our sweet baby boy is 8 months old! Missed month 7 so here is a quick update!
Graham, you really are the most smiley baby. This month brought some not fun things that you've handled like a champ. You got your first bad cold right after Thanksgiving and it has stuck around for 3 weeks. Your nose is like a fountain and you have an awful cough but you keep smiling and being your cheerful self. I think this is a character trait that will serve you well.
You love to make us laugh. You will lean your face forward when you do something funny to see if any of us saw you in the act. It's really cute. Your giggle really is the best too!
You have two teeth so far. The top ones look so close to popping out. You haven't been the most tolerant with teething pain. Lots of drooling and gnawing on your lovie and toys. We really hope those suckers come in soon. Of course, you'll probably get four at a time or something crazy like that. Even though you only have those two teeth, you are a eating champ! You still have a pouch of baby food occasionally but you love table food! Sweet potatoes, green beans, carrots, peas, pasta, waffles and blueberries are some of your favorites! You pretty much eat anything we eat now. You have a 6 oz bottle 5 times a day.
You are so close to crawling. You roll around the room the moment you're put down on the floor. Just today you started to get up on all fours and rock back and forth. You have no idea how excited this makes me, especially since your brother skipped crawling and went straight to walking. Ha! We will definitely need to do more baby proofing with you because you are way more into everything than your brother!
Your nickname is Bam-Bam. You are one strong little guy and you love to smack your hands on us/tables/any object in front of you when you are excited. We are working on the concept of gentle. You are also a EPIC hair puller. You also are the most affectionate and loving baby. You give out snuggles and kisses to pretty much anyone.
You weigh 19 lbs, wear size 4 diapers and size 12-18 month clothes. Not sure of shoe size since you pretty much only wear Robeez and socks! Ha! You are lucky- mommy got to buy you some of your own clothes (no hand me downs!) because seasons aren't matching up currently with Henry's old clothes.
Your brother is still your favorite play thing. From the time you wake up til you go to sleep, you watch him. Some items you love to play with are the stacking cups, anything with wheels (like your brother) books and household items like baby spoons, etc. You love Patty-Cake, Peek a boo and any bouncy rhymes that you can do on our laps. You are a daredevil. You love to go backwards and you love to wrestle. When you take a bath, you have NO fear of the water. It about gives us a heart attack every time because you leap and slide out of our arms so fast to get to toys or try to lay on your belly or back in the water. I swear you think you can swim. That's why we mainly give you showers.
Here's proof that you aren't ALWAYS happy. Ha! Though those moments only last a few seconds.
We love you, Graham Leo. You are one of our biggest joys and blessing.
