8 Months Old!!

Owen, you are 8 months old now! Here is what is going on in your life right now:
  • You weigh 19 lbs. (oops, when he went in to Dr. a few days later he was 18 lbs. 11 oz.
  • You wear size 3 diapers
  • You wear mostly 9-12 month clothes.
  • On 6/15, just a few days after you turned 7 months you started crawling.
  • On that same day I noticed you were getting your top two teeth and BOY are they HUGE!
  • On 6/20 you started pushing yourself up from a laying down position to sitting up.
  • On 6/28, about 7 1/2 months you got up on your knees and peeked at me from your crib.
  • On 7/5 you started clapping. If you click on this picture to make it bigger you can see his top two teeth.
  • Then on 7/7 you started pulling yourself up to standing so we lowered your crib down.
  • And on 7/7 you would hold your hands up when we say "How big is Owen?" "So big!"
  • You will go to other people if you are rested and have been fed but you do have some separation anxiety and cry when I hand you to others sometimes.
  • You drink out of a little sippy cup and you do a pretty good job.
  • You got to swing for the first time and you loved it.

"No Mom! I don't want my picture taken!"

"Dad help! Mom wants to take more pictures of me and I don't want her to."

"Mom, I just can't smile one more time."

"O.k. fine, here you go, here's the last smile for this post, but that's it o.k."
This month there were a lot of milestones that happened and it made me realize how fast he is growing and changing.

Your pictures are delightful!! I can't believe your baby is growing up so fast. Sherman is only 2 months behind him, and I can't wrap my head around the idea of him moving around, or clapping or putting his arms up for "so big!" games. They're just babies! Can't they stay that way for a little bit longer? :-)
