8 months old!!

Last Tuesday I turned a whole 8 months old!!  I can't believe how quickly I am growing!  Well, actually that is what mommy and daddy say :)  I was in NY visiting my grandparents during my 8 month birthday.  Mommy, Abby, and I had lots of fun in NY visiting family and my mommy made a quilt.  I played with my cousins a lot and got to be held a lot :) Some of mommy's friends even came to visit us one night.
At 8 months old I am saying "da" "ba" and a whole bunch of other one syllable sounds.  Once in a while I do say "da da" and my daddy gets very happy when I do that.  I am crawling the real way much better now and I pull myself up all the time.
Tomorrow we all leave for NC to visit my mommy's friend Leslie and her family.  We are looking forward to it very much and hope it is a little warmer!

Packing or Unpacking?

Today I helped mommy pack for our trip to NY.  Well, not really helping, I took all of my bibs out of my suitcase that mommy put in there!  We are leaving Monday morning and will be gone for a whole week.  Mommy and grandma are making a quilt to hang in our living room.  The other day I started walking frontwards in my walker and I am also pulling myself up all over the place!

Wow, look at all this stuff I can get into

I don't need this sneaker!

Pots & Pans

Hi everybody!  I am 7 1/2 months old now and growing up sooooo quick!  I will be 8 months old next Tuesday.
Last night I helped mommy make dinner, it was lots of fun :)  I am pulling myself up now so mommy and daddy had to lower my crib mattress the other night.  I still army crawl all over the place and have taken about 7 steps with a regular crawl. 
Some new things I have learned lately:

 - I stick my tongue out and suck on it like I am licking my chops.  It is very funny!  I even do it on demand :)
 - I pull myself up
 - I am getting better at the regular crawl
 - I say my G's all the time and have even started with B's and D's
 - I can fake cry really well!  I close my eyes half way and make the crying sound, it is funny.
 - I throw fits in my highchair my throwing my body backwards.  Mommy and daddy don't like this one.
 - I am only taking my 3rd nap on occassions now.

Hibachi

Thursday was my daddy's birthday so we all went out to dinner at Hibachi.  It was really neat, the chef cooked right in front of us!  I am not sure about the big fire I saw (kind of scary), but the rest was neat.

WOW, look at that!

That looks tasty

Happy Birthday Dad!

7 months old!!!!

Finally I am able to update my blog!!  My computer has been acting up again and I am so happy I can finally get in.  I had a great time with my grandparents and cousins from NY!!  They even got to stay an extra day due to the weather up north.  Mommy says they should have stayed the whole week because now they are getting hit with snow again. 

At 7 months:

 - I have perfected my army crawl
 - I know get up on my hands and knees and rock back and forth but no real crawling yet
 - I think fruits are very tart to taste but I am getting used to them
 - I can pull myself up on mommy's laundry basket and stand holding it
 - I like to wake up in the middle of the night and fuss.  Mommy and daddy said they don't like it :)
 - I started making sounds with a "G"
 - I like to throw things on the floor and have mommy and daddy get them for me

Almost crawling

Play date :)

Today Mr. George and Miss Corrine came to visit from Maryland with their kids Elena and Ian.  We had such a good time playing!  I got to show them my room and we watched Baby Einstein together.  Elena also gave me some pretty dresses and shoes that don't fit her anymore, she is so sweet.
Later today my Grandparents from NY and my 3 cousins will be here.  I can't wait to see them!!

We love that sound mommy makes when she takes our picture!

More shots :(

Today I went for my last round of shots for awhile.  I had two shots, the first one was easy peasy and the second hurt a little.  I did cry but smiled just seconds later :)  I now weigh 17 lbs 7.5oz.!  I did have my clothes on this time but that is still a big jump.  Just two weeks ago I weighed 16lbs.
Mommy opened up a new toy for me to play with today and I am having lots of fun with it.  Saturday my mommy's friend from Maryland is going to come visit with her family and later that day my Grandma and Grandpa and 3 cousins from NY are going to stay with us for a few days.  I can't wait!
