this boy melts my heart. i love him so much! Simon is now 8 months. every month gets more fun and entertaining with him, i don't think i have a favorite age yet because i like them all....except newborn, but only because simon was colicky.
- he CRAWLS. about a week before he turned 8 months (august 29th maybe?) he started full on crawling. he had been taking one or two crawling steps for a while, but then would always go straight to his belly and continue scooting. my mom and sister were here to witness it too:)
- he knows when dad comes home and gets really excited. wants luke to hold him and smiles at him.
- squeals whenever he gets excited! especially over me eating something because he thinks he is going to get a taste.
- still loves going on walks.
- has 2 teeth and is beginning to learn to chew food. we have been giving him those little puff snacks that melt in your mouth, and he is finally starting to mush it in his mouth rather than trying to swallow it whole.
- still loves seeing himself in the mirror or the phone/computer.
- he dances by shaking his head back and forth like he is saying "NO" ....he also just shakes his head "no" randomly, he doesn't know what it means though.
- crawls over to me, and puts his head into me and rubs it back and forth. he usually wants me to hug and squeeze him too.
- he got sick for the first time :( . he got a cold, just stuffy nose and a cough...but he couldn't sleep very well the first night with his plugged up nose, so we were awake about every 15 minutes with him! he had a fever once from his vaccinations, but this was the first time he was actually sick.
- he met his aunt sarah! the first of my siblings to meet him. and he thought she was very silly and laughed at her a lot.
- simon can also pull himself up on things sometimes. he tries all the time though.
