This
past month has gone by so fast. This entire summer has gone by too
fast! Since it rained practically the entire summer, it’s like we didn’t
even have one. We did finally get to go to the beach though! We made a
trip down to Savannah
with most of the family before Uncle Montez left for boot camp. You
didn’t like it though, and with me being from California, I was slightly
saddened by that! But maybe next year :) It’s like you were afraid
of the water coming toward you. When we stopped in Hilton Head on our
way back home, you started to enjoy the damp sand though. You started
digging in it with your hands, but then started
crying when Daddy pushed your hand away when you tried to eat it.
Overall though it was a fun and semi-relaxing trip for us all.
You
are 8 months old and I still can’t believe that I am a mother to
someone; to you. My precious, sweet child, whom I love with all my
heart. You never really know how much you can love someone until you
have a child. I pray that you and
your future wife will be able to have this blessing of parenthood as
well.
This month......
-You and Loretta are best friends. And you’ve discovered just how fun it is to throw her toys (with help of course)
-You
can scoot backward and in circles on your belly and you (finally!!!)
figured out how to roll from your back to your belly! The other day I
sidecarred your crib to our bed and you thought it was the coolest
thing, and of course wouldn’t
go to sleep because you were playing with the slats of your crib and
crawling all over me. But while playing you finally figured out how to
roll. We are getting there.
-You
can go from a sitting position down to your belly. Haven’t quite
figured out how to coordinate your arms and legs though when your legs
are up under you.
-Daddy taught you how to turn the lights on and off
-On
August 2, 2013, we were sitting at Gi-Gi and Pimpa’s kitchen table
watching a movie and nursing. Daddy was sitting next to us and you waved
at him! Whenever I would tell you to wave at Daddy you did it again. It
was the cutest thing.
-This
month you learned TWO syllables and love to say them, especially while
going crazy in your door bouncer. You repeat over and over again,
“mamamama-babababa-mama-baba”. And even though you don’t associate
“mama” with me yet, I still
love to hear you say it :)
-You
love to play with ice. Every chance you get you will still your hand in
a cup of ice water and grab an ice cube. Maybe that means you will
enjoy the snow since it’s supposed to be a cold winter this year!
-One
thing I’m not so proud that you learned lately is you like to pull at
my tank top and snap it back. So as payback I started snapping your
onesie on your neck :) Too bad you actually enjoyed it….
This week you were a little model! I
submitted your picture to a local casting agency and you were chosen to
be a baby model for the next Buy Buy Baby catalog.
This
weekend Uncle Montez left for boot camp. I know you are going to miss
your Uncle Tez. You just love him so much. We won’t get to hear from him
until Thanksgiving!
You are a growing boy and I cannot wait to see what else you learn
I love you,
Mommy
You didn't like it :)
I love this boy!
Daddy and Aunt Brittany say if you had a facebook, this would be your profile picture :)
haha
you weren't very happy with me
I need to figure out a better system for the chalkboard...you just like to play with it
