Today Andrew turns 8 months. I can’t believe it! It seems as if I just had him. He is such a fun, happy boy. He has discovered his voice and finding different ranges to “speak” in. He imitates any range you do. He is constantly watching our mouth when we speak and moving his mouth like he is trying to say those words. He is constantly babbling and making different sounds with his mouth. He loves to laugh and will laugh at pretty much anything. He will sit on the floor and just laugh and laugh about something. Such a cute sound.
I take care of a few kids a week and Andrew loves kids, so they have a lot of fun together. Some days our house looks like a daycare center with toys everywhere, but it is so much fun. We have been playing outside quite a bit and going to story time. He loves the songs and all the kids. He loves the Itsy Bitsy Spider, Wheels on the Bus and the Washing Machine song. When the kids laugh at the end of the songs, he starts laughing too and acts like he is a big kid too (he seems very proud of himself there). He has made some friends and it has been fun checking out new books every week.
Andrew loves his feet and has started to suck on his toes (which I think is gross, but at least they are baby toes). He is rolling in both directions and actually likes to play on his stomach (which is a shock since he has never liked his tummy). We got him a new toy: a leap frog music table and he loves it! He will stand there and bounce to the music or hold one with one hand. He thinks he can stand there without holding on, but gravity gets him every time.
He is eating great and loves to eat. He was introduced to graham crackers by some of his friends and now I think it is his favorite food. No teeth yet, but he is drooling like crazy and chewing on EVERYTHING, so I think they should come through anytime. He is getting to such a fun age and I love that his personality is starting to show through.
His stats:
Ht: 27 3/4 in.
Wt: 18 lbs.
Head Circ: 46 cm.
