Another month cruised right on by! You keep learning new things and you keep growing up. So much has changed this month for you. You crawled today, on your eight-month birthday! A real, legs and arms moving together, crawl! (Thanks again for saving the cool stuff to do at home - dad and I both got to watch as you took your first crawl steps!).
You moved out of our room, your carrier car seat and your baby stroller. You seem to like the new freedom and better views!
You're still pretty easy going. However, if I try to take paper (your favorite thing in the world!) or a cord/string (your second favorite) out of your hand, you instantly cry harder than you cry for anything else. I first found this out when you were grocery shopping with me and grabbed for my shopping list. You dropped it a while later and cried so hard that I thought you had hurt yourself. But nope - you just really wanted that list back!
They say babies don't really notice other babies around them. I don't think that's the case for you. At daycare they've told me a few times that you love it when your friend Vera gets there. And I have a couple pictures of you grabbing a friend's hand! I guess that goes along with being charming. You charmed the nurses at your last checkup and they all fell in love with you. And the way you reach over and touch my cheek when you want my attention is done in such a charming way that I can't resist but to stop what I'm doing and play. You're going to charm yourself out of trouble - I have a feeling...
I'm loving all the changes and continue to look forward to what the next month brings!
Love mom.
