September 4-October 4, 2014

I can not believe you are 8 months old!  You are a joy to our home and family.  You are a mostly happy, smiley baby.  The only exception to that is when you are getting so many new teeth at once!  You now have 4 teeth on top and 2 on the bottom!  You have a funny way of getting where you want to go.  You scoot, arch your back, and roll around until you get there.  You are starting to push up to your hands and knees, but are still figuring how to move forward from there.   You are a terrible sleeper!  You like to know that I am close by. Lately you have been waking every 2-3 hours.  It is very draining, it's a good thing you are so sweet and darling to make up for how tired you make me!  You love to eat!  No bottles or sippy cups for you, just nursing and eating real food.  You love applesauce, and pears, cooked carrots, bread, french toast, scrambled eggs and chicken.

We went to the Museum of Curiosity one day with a friend.  You loved having someone at your level to talk to.

You also got to go to Texas with Mom and Dad and Ella.  We had a great trip!

Dad gave you your first taste of bbq, by giving you a sausage to chew on.  You loved it!

We went for a walk around Lady Bird Lake which you loved, and a canoe ride on the lake which you hated.

We took you to your first BYU football game.

Somedays you and your big brother cry for no apparent reason.

Wagon rides around the neighborhood are fun!

Owen tries to help you get your puffs.

I love it when I can take the time to rock you to sleep.  Probably one of my most favorite things!

Starting to push up and rock back and forth.

You take a lot of naps in the car.  It's a good thing you like your car seat, because you spend a lot of time there running your sisters around to their activities!

You went to your first home BYU game.

You continue to bring joy and happiness to everyone who sees you! I love you biggie boy!

7 Months old! August 4-September 4, 2014

This was a month of lots of firsts for you this month!  You are still our super sweet happy boy.

You are starting to sit up by yourself for longer and longer amounts of time.

You have had some moments of extreme unhappiness.  We are pretty sure that it is because you are growing teeth like crazy!  The bottom middles are all the way in, and the top middles are on their way!

In Yellowstone we found a bear with eyes just like yours!

 You chowed on In N Out french fries for the first time.  They were a hit!

 You enjoyed some snuggle time with your Poppy.

 And enjoyed watching the fish at the aquarium with him.

 It's fun to see you sit and play with your toys like a big kid.

 You also enjoyed your first ice cream cone while in Yellowstone.

Keep growing biggest boy!
