My dearest boy,
Happy 8 Months! Wow, what a HUGE month for you. You started crawling this month. Yes, crawling and everywhere. You started rocking your body back and forth and then you started pushing your feet to move your body ahead then you started to wiggle your butt and then you crawled. You could only go a few and then you would drop and then you would be so tired but then you could go a few and drop and go a few and drop. Then one morning, I saw you crawl acros the whole room and you have not stopped. You are so excited to knwo that you are mobile. You love to crawl and then sit up and you start to crawl again and then sit up and you do this over and over. You are like Curious George and I am convinced that our bedtime routine has been tough because you just start to explore your room and you get so excited that you are being such a big boy that sleep is not a priority in your little head.
You are also in love with the game PEEK-A-B00. We play a few different ways and you love them all.
We sing songs all day and your favorites are the ones we make up.
You already know the words: Nurse, Yucky, Bannana, Pear, Doggies, Nice Touch, Mama, Dada, More and Diaper Change.
Since you are mobile, there seems to be a new boo boo everyday. You also made it through getting pawed by Stanley this month and you actually fought back. You are such a little trooper.
You also gardened this month or I guess we can also say you ate lots of dirt. You gardened on momma back in the carrier and then you gardened on your own in the dirt. We created the garden together. We also pulled weeds the other day and planted some lettuce and swiss chard. You are such a delight.
You loves the outdoors and so it has been wonderful having a great backyard. It makes me realize that moving here was the best decision for our family. We went to the playground near the house and you were in the baby swing for an entire hour just laughing.
You are 8 Months ago our lives changed because you were born and I can’t even imagine what our lives would be like if you were not our son. You are the light in my heart. I am so happy that you have allowed me to be your mom.
Max, you make my life full. Thank you.
