Jackson, you are eight months. My-o-my you are closer to a year old than being born. This year has been such a whirlwind.
Some milestones you have hit...
-- You are "army crawling" all over the place! You seem to lead with your right hand so we think you'll be right handed.
-- You sometimes "drunken' crawl" around the house as well (on your hands & knees)
-- You can pick up and place in your mouth all different types of foods (although you have no teeth yet!)
--You imitate other people immediately when they go "ba ba ba" or "da da da"
-- You are babbling more often
-- You grab onto coffee tables, or any low surface & pull yourself up on your own.
-- You have hurt your head more often by rolling over and bumping your head on the wood floors!
(crazy boy! Only YOU could find a way to hurt yourself that you can't actually baby proof against)
-- You love chasing after blocks as we stack them (or anything dangerous)
-- You are now watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse all the way through (not just watching the songs)
-- You can hold & drink your bottle on your own
-- You hold your sippy cup on your own (for the most part)
-- Momma has learned to change diapers really well while you are in crawling position going after one toy or another.
-- When you get tired, you love to dig your head into my tummy and rub your eyes, and crawl all over me. I love it.
Overall, sweet child, you are as independent as any child could be. You love to play by yourself and you very rarely like to snuggle, even when you're tired. So, I cherish & pray every night I hold you in my arms while you are asleep knowing these moments pass to quickly.
Happy 8 months. (Psst...I'm already planning your first birthday party. Thankfully you don't speak english yet and the theme will be a surprise!)

Big Boy with shoes on (he took them off pretty much immediately)
Out of a bazillion toys, we chose a water bottle.
Pulls himself up & stands on his own! (with intense supervision of course)

God is so good.
