8 months

Little Man!

Stop it, stop it, stop it.  You brought me to tears this month when you sat in a shopping cart for the first time, took a few steps while i held your hands, started trying to crawl, reaching for things, and got your first two teeth. 

You make me so proud but i like that we are buddies.  I like that you light up when i smile at you or that i can make you giggle by "eating you like corn on the cob", or kissing you.  I know that this time is fleeting.  Before i know it you won't want me to kiss you.  You will wipe a kiss off of your forehead and say "Mo-om".  I don't want that.  I want to play with you and take you with me everywhere forever.  You are my precious little man.


If i feed you cookies will you stay small?
I love you bugsy.

7 months-a lot late

Dearest Jack,
This month you learned to sit by yourself!  This was a huge deal because now we can sit and play with you, roll balls to you, show you your animals without worrying about holding you too! 

You think that your feet are a second set of hands.  It is so cute.  You will grab a ball with your feet and pass it to your hands.  We kiss your feet and when we stop you lift them up to us again.  You chew on your feet now... I am pretty sure you are ready for teeth.  We call you drooley cooley.  Your shirts are ALWAYS soaked.  If we hand you anything it goes directly into your mouth and comes back soaked. 

While you were in America you tried some not so healthy things like Nana's Ice cream or the breading in a donut.  You loved all of those things but i think it is just because your momma has been trying to feed you beets.  I love you my little boy.  I love watching you grow.  I just wish it would all slow down.
