8 Months!

Grayson - SLOW. DOWN! Both with growing up and your speedy crawling! I have "lost" you on more than one occasion around the house...you sure can move fast! And I just gave birth to you like yesterday....what's next?! Should we start touring colleges now?! Should I start packing for Parents Weekend?! Gawd. 


Here are some other updates (sans drama):

• 23.6lbs (weighed today at the ped office)
• Officially in 12-18 month clothes
• Size 3 shoes, moving into size 4
• Size 4 diapers
• Haven't met a food you didn't like
• Refuses to sit (on the floor), moves immediately into a crawl and even faster into a full-on stand
• You aren't falling as much when you stand these days, which makes me happier!
• You are fighting naps like crazy! You just stand in your crib forever. And then cry until we come get you (which we shouldn't do)
• You put one foot right in front of the other for as long as we will "walk" with you (i.e. you hold our fingers) - you can't wait to walk!
• It's so easy to make you laugh! We LOVE your laugh - there is nothing better!
• You are sleeping through the night for the most part - still a rough night every once in a while
• You are eating more mixed veggies and fruits and Stage 2 meats (I just can't bring myself to puree meat)
• Dadadadadas and Babababas all the time. Can I get a Mamamama?! No. The answer is no apparently.
• You recognize people and smile so big when you see someone you know, which lights up their world!
• The Church Nursery ladies RAVE about how pleasant you are. We are so lucky!
• I think you have Bieber Fever. Your Daddy disagrees.
• Your pacifier is like crack. For me too. We are both so dependent on it that I'm already dreading weening you off of it....

Especially b/c it matches your eyes :)

You love the park!

Your 12 month PJs don't fit anymore :)

I love watching you sleep :) xoxo
