8 months and Very Curious

I can not believe my little baby is 8 months. He will be a year before we know it. He is super chunky and loves his big brother.

At 8 months Anderson:
Has 8 teeth
Got his first ear infection
Likes to drink juice from a sippy cup
Prefers to feed himself tablefood
Grabs everything in reach and eats it
Is still in love with his paci. At night he wants one in his hand too.
Pulls his hair while eating and rocking to sleep at night
Smiles at everyone who gives him attention
Screams ALOT...he is learning how to get what he wants
Sits up well and plays with toys
Loves to stroll around in his walker
Gets so excited when you turn the bath water on
Is working very hard to crawl...up on all fours but falls and slides backwards
Is weaning himself... he has learned to use his teeth on his mommy...Ouch.

Wow, I am way behind

It has been a busy month. I have been working more than normal thanks to my sweet mom and granny who have been babysitting some. Alec started playing blast ball this summer. That has certainly been a challenge to watch....their attention spans are so short. He spent most of his 1st game kicking dirt, playing with his hat, and trying to pretend fight with his teammates. It was very frustrating for Andrew. His 2nd game was a definite improvement. I think they are starting to get the game.

We took a weeks vacation to the beach with the Lewis'. It was crazy with all the kids. Alec, Anderson, Addy, Emmy, Ava, and Ella. Anderson was a sick and cranky baby with an ear infection and swimmers ear. He loved the beach and would try to eat handfuls of sand. Both of my boys loved the pool and ocean. Alec loved swimming and going underwater. I am so proud of my big boy.

 We celebrated Father's Day when we got home. Going to eat an awesome country lunch at Granny's and visit Pa Pa at the nursing home (he is doing much better) then finishing the day with the Hale's at Old Chicago for dinner. Andrew is an awesome daddy. Alec would love to play with his Daddy all day!
