brig DID turn 8 months old

just cause things got a little busy around the 22 of november i failed to give brig his monthly update....

so now that the 9 monther is on the horizon i thought it was a good idea.

oh sweet boy! these pictures are from you 8 month 1 week birthday

it is hard for me to say what happened in the 8th month because so much has changed this last two weeks and i can't remember what it was like before.

mostly month 8 you were busy chubbing up.

you were the happiest baby all month 

and pretty easy now that your a proficient sitter.

i can just set you down wherever i need to.

you are very curious and very detail oriented.

if i give you a toy you are only interested in the tinie tiny details.

like your vibrating strawberry toy, it has a little lady bug on the handle that spins.

your favorite part is manipulating the lady bug so she spins.

oh, and if i wear jewelry? i'm the best mom ever. your also very slow and deliberate with your movements. you see what you want and you slowly,gently touch it. sometimes however, you go for the kill.  that's when you slowly gently go for something then your pinchers get it with a death grip. your favorite victim for this game? dad's nose :)

at 8 months of age i feel like your eating me out of house and home. really it's a wonder you don't weigh 30 lbs. those little rice puffs? you will eat those endlessly, dad aptly made the comment when i told him you weren't ready for your bath yet cause you were still eating "i've never seen him stop eating those"i had to laugh and let him get you out for your tub. you like when dad baths you too cause he has started the bath time dance. this involves your adorable nude body on the vanity shaking it to dad's rendition of the chicken dance. you, of course, have a smile from ear to ear  :)

you really are the sunshine in our life and anyones shopping trip if they happen to be there the same time as us. i feel like it is a calling from above for me to take you to the store to cheer people up. 

well, that's all i can come up with without it getting all muddled with what's been going on the past few weeks. 

so my boy. that was your 8th month!

xoxo
