I'm really late posting his 8 month post. But we've been extremely busy and interestingly enough, so has Tommy. He is ALL OVER THE PLACE right now. He's crawling, pulling himself up, talking lots of gibberish... he's just a busy bee.
Tommy has had lots of trouble with eating the puffs. They make him choke, gag and puke. But luckily, he LOVES the graham crackers. He's a big fan! They dissolve much easier for him.
He now uses a big boy high chair! Whoa!
He loves it and his new ferris wheel toy. But the ferris wheel ends up getting completely covered in whatever food he's eating.
And so does he!
I tried to get a picture of him playing with his "hunny pot" but as soon as I got out the camera, he would stop. (Doesn't he look so guilty in this picture?) I can put things in that little pot and he can dump them out on his tray. Very cute, lots of fun.
He pulls himself up on everything. But we found a great toy where he can focus pulling up in one area and not in more dangerous places.
He loves helping with the laundry. He also loves watching the clothes go around and around.
We went to Target to get him some 12 month pajamas and the only kind they had were big boy pajamas. We couldn't find any sleepers! Sad!! But he loves his new two piece big boy PJ's.
He goes everywhere in them.
He even tries to hurl himself down the stairs in them. We don't let him. We are the no-fun parents, huh?
One of his favorite activities is tearing up paper products.
He still loves everything with buttons. He also loves to put everything in his mouth.
He has an ornery little fake cough that he likes to use occasionally. Stinker!
"Daddy, you're not leaving are you?"
Look at that big boy shirt!
He loves to talk. It sounds like he's saying "blah blah blah" a lot of the time. Most of the time it's indecipherable. Bla-da-doo-be-ble-bla-ma-da-da-baba... stuff like that. I love hearing his little voice. So cool.
He's still drooling everywhere as you can tell from the trail of wet spots he left on my jeans.
He's so tall! He's almost too big for that shirt and I just bought it for him!
He also does this thing where whenever I pick him up, he turns and waves bye bye. There can be no one in the room and he will still be waving bye bye. It started at daycare. When I would pick him up, I would literally pick him up in my arms and say, "Okay, say bye bye!" He started waving every time. Now he has a toy that has a flap that when you open it, it says "Hello!" and when you close it, it says, "Goodbye!" He waves when it says goodbye!! It's so funny. He's quite the brilliant little stinker. :)
It really is amazing how much he picks up every day. He's developing so fast! Too fast! I can't believe his 9 month appointment is in a couple weeks. I will try to get his 9 month post up much closer to the actual date this time. We'll be seeing a new doctor so this should be interesting. Stay tuned!
She is thinking about crawling. Hasn't quite mastered it yet. She can go backwards and that's about it. She desperately wants to go forward! Watch out when she starts to crawl! This girl has plans!!
