8 months.

i cannot believe that my little guy is 8 months old today.  all day long i was thinking about the day that he was born and how it really is true what they say....everything changes when you have a baby...instantly.  he is the light of my life and i am blessed beyond words to call him mine.  


these days he is full of wonder and observes everything and everyone.  he loves people and will just stare people down as he observes them.  he is full of smiles and laughs a lot.  he is still just about the happiest baby i have ever seen....he wakes up happy in the morning, he goes down for a nap without crying and smiles all the time.  however, in the past 2 weeks, he has begun to cry more too.  he has started crying when you take something away from him that he is playing with or that he wants.  this really caught me off guard the first time.  i took away the remote (i know, such a guy) and he started crying and waving his hands in the air frantically.  i couldn't help but just stare at him and then burst out laughing.  how bad of a mother am i?  well, just as bad as his father apparently because he did the same thing the first time he saw it happen.  anyway, my boy is moving all over place and is scooting forward and backward some.  he continues to try new foods every few days and has loved everything that he has eaten.  he continues to eat like a champ!  we don't have any teeth yet but i think he is getting close.  his newest favorite thing to do is to play boo (peek-a-boo).  we played it for a long time in the 10 1/2 hour car ride back home from alabama.  he loves music and has started bumping up and down to the beat.  too cute!  he does new things every day and is the joy of my life.  i love you little man!!
