Will (8 months)

Will - you were 8 months old on Saturday - holy cow! I am a few days late saying Happy 8 months, but then again...I totally missed 7 months when I was in Jamacia, so I guess late is better than never. :)

At 8 months...

Wear size 3 diapers.
Wear 9-12 months clothes, although your 9 month onesies are getting REALLY snug.
Not sure what you weigh...but you have GOT to be pushing 20 pounds. :)
Nurse before bed, eat 4 bottles and/or sippy cups of milk a day (depending on your mood/interest level), eat baby cereal, fruits, and veggies, and really any table food that is soft enough. We had cinnamon rolls over the weekend...I think you would have ate a whole roll if we would have let you! And you are getting SO good at picking up food with your fingers, not just the palm of your hand.
You have NO teeth. PLEASE just pop through already!!!!!!
Say "ba-ba", much to the happiness of Becca (who I believe taught you this)...but much to the dismay of mommy and daddy who are ALWAYS trying to get you to say "ma-ma" or "da-da." You stinker! You also just "talk" by being REALLY loud (it is like you have to compete with someone around here or something) or by making this high-pitched squeal/screech (it really is adorable). :)
Go to bed around 8 and get up between 6-7 am (may wake up 1-2 times in the night, but we just plug you up with your pacifier). :)
LOVE your blanket, like I mean LOVE it. You cuddle with it when you are upset or tired...you just like to nose dive into it when you are playing...or you even just like to eat it!
Sit up, but do not crawl or ROLL FROM YOUR BACK TO TUMMY!!! You are crazy! However, when you are sitting, you are now almost always reaching/grabbing for toys and getting up on your knees...and then falling on your belly, which doesn't really seem to bother you. Now you just need to learn to scoot around once you are there instead of flopping over onto your back again.
When we are out and about, people always comment on your smile...and it is great. I LOVE it and I still call you my smily-boy. :)
SO loved and SO glad you are our son. :)
