Eight Months!

Sorry, baby boy, Momma's been out to lunch for a while and needs to catch up on everything for your blog. I know, bad Momma, but you'll still love me either way!
So, you've really been progressing VERY quickly with rolling all over. Its the main way you get around now. You also sit up all alone and don't need to concentrate to keep yourself upright. Its just amazing to think about! You got two teeth within a week of each other (Its all in your baby book, my love. I don't see a need to keep posting it everywhere when you have a baby book, a journal, a calendar, and 2 medical journals). You handled it pretty well, although you were a big pain in the bum for the first tooth, but I think you were having so much fun playing with the new addition in your mouth that you didn't notice the second one coming in nearly as much. It came on quickly too. One day I only feel the one tooth nub, and the next day while I'm washing your tooth with a wash cloth, I notice you have a second white nub starting to poke through. Luckily it broke through very quickly. So now you have both bottom teeth and its so cute to see. You don't like it when anyone tries to check them out and you HATE it when I wipe off your teeth after a meal.
You've really developed a love for my water bottle too. Its just a simple water bottle from work that cost 50 cents, but you LOVE playing with it, sticking the mouth piece in your mouth, and when I let you, you LOVE drinking out of it! What a goofy nut you are!
You've also been sleeping like a gem. You have yourself on a set schedule and you make sure that we pay the price if anything doesn't go the way you want it to. We are looking at adding another meal (lunch) so that you can pack on some calories and not be so skinny. We will be adding that in the coming month or so. You also haven't met many foods you don't like. You love fresh fruit and veggies the most though. Papa brought home 2 lbs of baby carrots and we made a project out of steaming them, putting them through the food processor and then the blender to get them into a smaller pieces that you won't gag on. You LOVED it! We ended up giving you so many, though, that your poor lil bum turned orange! Of course we backed off and started giving only half a jar (4 oz in a jar) so that you still get the veggies, but you don't turn colors.
We are thinking about starting the baby proofing process now too. You are VERY stubborn and don't give up easily at all. You KNOW that when we take something away, its gotta be around somewhere and you will turn the house over just to find it. I wonder where you get your bullheaded-ness from...?
You are also showing a desire to start pulling up and walking with help. I don't know if I like it, because it means you will be getting around all on your own. I like you depending on me to carry you around. I guess its all a part of you growing up. Just wish you didn't do that so fast.
Well, little boy, I need to work on getting the other months up also, but just remember that Momma loves you VERY much, and you can ALWAYS come to your parents for anything. We'll always love you no matter what. You are an amazing miracle.
