Tidbits

Our bundle of joy is now 8 months old and cute as ever! :) Since I didn't do a 7 month blog, I'll just tell you some of my favorite things he's started doing the past couple months. He's started babbling more...he actually babbles more when we leave him alone. He says dada and bubu, and when he's tired he'll usually say nunu or mama. Of course he still doesn't know what they mean. Our new favorite game is to have him imitate our sounds. He won't imitate the mamas/dadas, but if we squeal or say "uh" he will do it back. It's so much fun! The Thursday before Christmas we awoke at Patty's house to find Mason sitting up in bed which was a neat surprise. Of course the big new thing is crawling. We have to watch him because he is getting more adventurous each day.

Unfortunately we have had to start the "no" word. Twice we've found Sammy's nasty chew bone in his mouth...totally sicked me out!! He is always on the look out for it, and will make a beeline fore it if he sees it. The other thing we are having to say "no" to is when he rolls over onto his hands and knees on the changing table. It's kind of cute to see that bare heiny up in the air, but he is very adamant about rolling over and over and over again. We are now feeding him 3 meals a day. Breakfast - oatmeal and fruit; lunch - veggies; dinner rice/barley and veggies. He LOVES solid food. I'm shocked at how much he wants to eat. He loves it all - except peas. Here's a few pictures to leave with.
