8 Months!

Wow. 8 months. Pinch me. It's going too fast. I want it to s l o w down!!! I have no idea how much Jameson weighs since he hasn't been to the Dr. since 6 months! I should just sit him on that scale to find out! He is as pudgy as ever and I LOVE kissing his thighs, knee caps, wrists....basically, anything that has multiple rolls all over I love to kiss! He is still not crawling or really rolling for that matter. I know lots of babies who are younger and are rolling back and forth and back and forth again. But, it's really nice to leave my baby in one spot and leave the room and come back and find him in that same spot! I know he'll start moving when he wants to. And I'm just fine with him taking his sweet time!

*Wearing 12-18 month clothes!!

*Sleeping ok but not great. Lately, he's been wanting to wake up at 5am to eat and after I feed him will go back to bed. I know he can go longer, but he won't. And I'm a sucker and won't let him cry more than 3 minutes. Yes, I'm a softie!

*LOVES to eat-but we all knew this just by looking at him! I'm still making all my baby food and it's going well. Now I'm trying to figure out what kind of snack foods to feed him. He's nursing a bit less now which gives me more freedom! I'm trying to be more creative with my baby food mixtures too. I recently made pineapple/banana, pineapple/pear, and sweet potato/corn. He seems to like it all!

*LOVES his sister. He always looks for her when they're in a room together. He follows her with his eyes and lights up when she talks to him. It's so sweet. He does get mad and cry when she randomly scratches him across his face. Ugh. Still working on her! :)

*Loves his bath and cries when I take him out.

*Talks all the time.

*Grabs at people's faces all.the.time. I think he does this mostly to people he knows though. *Stares and talks to his hands. He's done this for a while, but it's so cute to hear him cooing at his hand as he holds it in front of his face. Think of someone getting engaged and holding their hand out in front of them to admire their ring. That's what he does!!

*Recently started to notice Charlie (our lab). He will just stare at him and make an "O" shape with his mouth.

He is still a happy baby and people always tell me how easy going he is-and it's true! He just goes with the flow. Even when he's super tired and doesn't seem to get a nap in (which is every time he's in the nursery at church! Must be too much going on!) he's still a happy baby-with an occasional cry. We love our little man!

He LOVES the swing! We recently inherited my aunt and uncle's old swing set that their kids had outgrown. They were so generous in giving it to us! Lily is on that thing all day!! It's awesome! This was taken the day we got it and all of us were anxious to use it. I don't sit on the swing much though-the whole structure creaks! Just for kids I guess! Anyway, anytime Jameson is on it he just laughs and coos! So sweet. And I promise to put pictures up of the whole structure with Lily playing on it!

Outside lots these days. Need shady spots for my fair skinned, red headed baby!

Outside again-and in the shade! This time in his jumperoo. He loves it.

Love this picture. I'm so excited to use this wagon now that Jameson can sit up by himself!

First night in his high chair (this picture was taken a little bit ago though). I'm pretty sure we got this out way too late, but it's great now!
