8 1/2 months already?!!!














Holy Cow!! I can't believe my little baby boy is already almost 9 months old!!! It really all has been in the blink of an eye! He is getting bigger by the minute! And he is just so cute too! It seems like he is a little toddler now instead of a little baby! He is crawling everywhere and getting into everything! Especially the things he shouldn't be getting into! He crawls up the stairs now (scary), and I think he will be walking before too long! He can pull himself up into standing position and walk along the side of things and also stand for a few seconds by himself! He is just such a strong and determined little guy! It's amazing how much personality can be inside of such a tiny little thing! Here are some of the things I have learned in the past 8 months;
-that cell phones, remotes, keys, and anything else with buttons are way more fun than any other toy you can buy
-babies can unfold a whole laundry basket full of clothing in about 5 seconds even though it takes you twenty minutes to fold
-always lock your phone before you let your baby play with it. Otherwise they will accidently call someone and that person might hear you say something or sing something you probably didn't want them to hear
-babies love their mommies and they don't want anyone else to hold them when they are sad
-when a baby crawls over to you while crying "Momma" it will melt your heart
-that nap time is one of the best times of the day
-babies love to rip up paper, especially important pieces of paper
-babies love to be really noisy and unhappy at church more than anywhere else
-babies are the best cuddlers
-and that being a mom is the BEST and the MOST rewarding calling you could ever have!
