7 - 8 Months

Whew, it's been quite a month!  Let's jump right in:

I can now put my feet in my mouth and it's my favorite thing to do.  Mmmmmmm...

I also started practicing my fish lips.  Mom and dad think it's hilarious.  I'm not sure what the big deal is.  Just working on my version of Blue Steel.

And silly DD came to visit again.  We have so much fun together - he likes to show me how to share toys.

Check out my Iceland threads that dad got me:

I even practice my fish lips while eating prunes.

Or while sitting on my throne in mom and dad's bathroom while mom gets ready.  Also, I'm huge now.

Still love the bath!  

Even when mom does funny stuff to my hair.

Yayyyy!!!  Hangin' out with dad!

More raspberries!  Quick!

Just lookin' cute.

Kitty cat leggings are all the rage.

Excuse me, I'm trying to read while mom changes my diaper.

I love my fuzzy hoodie vest :)

I know I keep saying it, but I'm getting better and better at tummy time.  I have much more control over my upper half, but I'm not quite into connecting the lower half yet.

I like to sit in the kitchen in my seat while mom cooks me yummy food.

Going bye bye in my kitty pants.  So chic.

Gettin' buff.

DD came to visit again!  He likes to tickle my feet.

Dad loves to take me on walks.  It's my favorite.

First time at the park with my friend Chance!  We went on the swings and played in the sand.  Mom told me I had sand stuck in my hair for a week :)

What?  Just doin' more push-ups.

And eatin'.

No more bucket car seat.  I finally graduated to the convertible car seat.  Not really sure what to think yet...

But I do know I love a nice dip in the kiddie pool on a hot day.  Check out my cool toys.

Nothin' to see here.  Just doing push-ups and scooting myself backwards a bit.

Apparently I have an odd sense of humor because I cracked up while mom and dad tossed a towel across the room:

At my 8-month check up I weighed 18 lbs. and 13 oz. (75%) and was 29.5 inches long (98%).  Yep, I'm huge.  I started babbling consonants this month and really loved mimicking people.  DD taught me to make a slow "ahhhhh" sound with my mouth wide open.  And mom and dad gave me lots of sounds to respond to.  My favorite sound to make was "bah bah bah bah bah bah".  I also started turning the pages of books when people read to me and waving hello!  My fine motor skills are becoming more apparent as I gingerly pick up cheerios and small pieces of food.  

Dad and mom keep telling me how cute I am.  I can't say I disagree.
