my 8 month old!


1~31~08 I cannot believe we have had Patriot out of the belle for EIGHT months! Everyday, it seems, he learns something new, which is amazing to watch as a parent. Indescribable is my love for our sweet Patriot Shane.

This past month he is loving:

  • sitting up by himself and reeeeeeaching for his toys

  • scooting and rocking when he works himself down from the prefered sitting position

  • blowing razzberries (though not so much at meal time anymore, whew!),

  • his teeth: which are his newest accessories and double as toy for his tongue

  • flashing us with his dazzling smile that melts hearts all over Texas

  • bathtime is FINALLY fun for all envolved

  • stage TWO peaches, pineapples, oranges & green beans (all pureed of course!)

  • saying HiiiiiDada or Da Dee (i promise it sounds just like that, and the child annunciates!) when he sees Josh or something exciting

  • bouncing around in his exersaucer like popcorn

  • making the big move into size 3 diapers (officially happened the end of our Mexico trip)

Thing he is hatin' on:

  • going down for bedtime or naptime by himself (usually, i will add:)
  • laying on his back while his diaper is being changed. why not on his tummy? he says!
  • shoes; okay, he's not hating on these, he would just rather eat them then wear them
  • 3-6 months clothes are on their last legs at our house.

aah! Very fun post! :) And I must say, I'm impressed that your 3-6ers have lasted this long. Yay for that! :) Oh and raspberries at meal time is such a fun phase ;) I can't believe how big and adorable he is. :)

hahaha!! i love the "hatin' on" things he is doing! hang in there with the ol' raspberry thing--it gets even more fun when he is eating the same food you are and spitting it out on you or taking it out of his mouth and throwing it to shiloh!

Pate's newest loves...calling Aunt "Eeee" and "Baba"...Mama??? And yes, I can vouch that the child actually does enunciate his words...It's really funny! The best part is the way he bounces up and down when he says his fave words. :)
