Hooray! 8 months old! It's a respectable milestone and one you have met with new tricks. You can get to a seated position all by yourself. You have embraced eating with passion. You love cheerios and spaghetti and pretty much anything we can feed you that is exactly the same as what we are eating.
You laugh all the time and love taking baths with your sister. You absolutely hate anything being taken away from you and you can get debris from the floor into your mouth in the blink of an eye (we are nothing if not impeccable house cleaners around here). You are attached to me. Its charming and flattering but ear splitting when I have to put you down and walk away. (Its ok though, I'm absolutely crazy about you.)
This month you got your first real illness and did it right. You started coughing a bit on our drive to Florida and by the beginning of the week you had a nasty nose and were a most unhappy child. You stayed that way for a long time but after a diagnosis of double ear infections and a few doses of the pink stuff you seem to be improving. I am so glad....I missed your sweet smile. My favorite new thing you started doing this month is a new smile...you squint your eyes and scrunch up your nose and your smile strecthes from ear to ear. Happy baby, happy mommy.
I love you,
Mommy
