My 8 Month Old

* I still need to post about our California trip but I wanted to document my baby turning 8 Months first! Here's a picture on the airplane. On our way home Wesley got his own seat and LOVED it. He is becoming too independent. Don't you love a baby in Pajamas?

8 Months, how can this be!?! I feel like time is flying by way to fast. I do not like that there is only 4 more months until he is 1.. actually let's not think about that (way too sad). Wesley has grown so much over the past month it's amazing. He gained 2 lbs in the past month and is sitting just under 16 lbs. I haven't measured him lately but I know he is taller because all of his clothes are getting tighter in the length.

This past month Wesley:

• Mastered sitting up (however gets lazy sometimes and lays down).
• Growls like crazy. Maybe Rosie taught him this? It's his favorite from of communication.
• We swear he is saying some form of mama when he wants me.
• Is quite the wiggle worm.
• LOVE LOVE LOVES his Dad. He'll stop nursing to look at his Dad walk by.
• Gives me big wet kisses.
• Has started waking up at 4am and wants to nurse (what happened to sleeping through the night?)
• Is my best bud and has started crying when I leave his side.. oh no!
• Has the best belly laugh.
• Is very vocal when he wants something.
• Has gotten better at the pincher grasp and can feed himself snacks-yogurt melts and puffs.
• Rosie is his favorite and she is starting to learn to stay away from him or he'll pull her hair.
• Sits up in the bath now (this is so sad.. he's too little for this!)
• Reaches for EVERYTHING.
• Grunts and cries if you take something away from him that he wants.
• Can scoot on his belly in circles and backwards.
• Tried more foods including quinoa, pasta, yogurt, watermelon, and cantaloupe.
• Started waving in California.
• Is such a flirt, he smiles at everyone.

We sure love this little guy. No more growing buddy!
