Eight months!!! Holy cowwwwww!!! Smiling is totally your game this month!!! AND you are ON THE MOVE!!!! You just started to figure out how to crawl and still drag your right leg as you do and it's just the cutest!! I love how content you are still though just sitting and playing and aren't super curious to explore the whole room yet. You will just go to something if you really want it like your Mama or a kitty. My favorite is when you come and grab hold like a koala. It's seriously the cutest thing and you don't let go until I pick you up. You also started to pull yourself up to stand and the first time you did it surprised me so much!! I was doing something in the kitchen and look over and you were standing hanging onto the coffee table staring at me. Haha I caught it on video because it was so cute! It seems like every day you learn something new and now Daddy is even commenting about how fast you are growing up! You also have been cheesing all day the past few days at anything and everything!! Your hair has started to grow again!! Your top four teeth are trying to slowly make their way in! You are still such an adrenaline junky and it's an instant guarantee that you will smile anytime you are upside down! You are still in love with water and coo and kick anytime you see the shower or bath or ocean. You can't get enough and the temperature never bothers you!! We went on a cruise to the Bahamas this month and it was such a blast!! You are such a trooper and we had you nap in your pram part of the stroller. It worked like a charm! Everyone on the cruise thought you were just the cutest thing! It felt like we were walking around with a celebrity with how much we were stopped. It did throw off your naps though so we've been trying to get you back on schedule. You take 3 sometimes 2 naps a day and sleep 11-12 hours straight at night, going to bed around 8:30 or 9:00 and napping for 1-1.5 hours at a time usually. You eat literally anythingggg we give you, even onions! but your favorite is eating whatever food we are eating. We still just give you bites/tastes here and there though. I think part of it is because I want to keep you as my baby forever so I'm holding onto nursing you as long as I can at this point. Lately people are always commenting about how calm and pretty you are and I couldn't agree more! You have the sweetest most laid back attitude and are always up for literally whatever whenever. You also started to become quite the wiggle worm on your changing pad and quickly try and turn over on your stomach like you are playing with us. It's so cute but so hard to change your diaper haha. We also "left you" for the first time this month and went on a date. I couldn't bear to leave you with someone while you were awake so we waited until you went to bed and then had our neighbor/friend watch you on the monitor. It was so nice to get out with Daddy but I'll admit I did shed a tear or two even though you were just sleeping. My absolute favorite part of every day though is going to get you in the mornings or after naps. You are so dang happy to see me and it truly melts my heart. They say there's no other time in your life where you'll love me more and I can see how that can be true but hope that that isn't the case. Honestly almost all of my thoughts are consumed by trying to cherish this time more because I honestly feel like I'll keep looking back on this time of just you and me every day and miss it so much. I get why there are every month updates for babies because it goes by way too fast. Here's to fall and cherishing and loving each and every second with you!!
