Two of a Kind...Workn' on a Full House: 8 Months & Thanksgiving

For once we are in a month without any huge milestones. You have been alive about the same time that you were inside my belly. I am okay with that. Can slow your grow just a little bit though? You are trying to crawl but you just don't have the strength or coordination for that. You are starting to grown out of your bottles. Some nights you will take a bottle and rock you, other nights you just stretch out in my arms until I get the hint that you just want to lay down in your bed alone. 12 hours a night is normal for you. We put you to bed around 7 and during the week I wake you up at 6:30 but on the weekends you push towards waking up at 8 or 8:30. No complaints here. You have no problems with eating or drinking out of a sippy cup. You eat a serving of rice and one jar of food every three hours. And if you are SUPER lucky we will give you a drink of our tea. It is your favorite.

We had a big month with a big first. Your 1st Thanksgiving!! Although you didn't get to enjoy the food you did get to enjoy all the attention you could ever want from your Mommy, Daddy, Nana, Papa, Uncle Andrew, Great-Grandmother Faye & Great-Grandfather Rodney.

Here is a photo recap of your 8th month.

You are starting to feed yourself. You will persistantly chase the food around on your tray.

Papa gave you a cupcake. You had no objections.

Mommy gave you some pudding. More of a mess than anything. But you enjoyed sucking it out of your shirt.

Bath time is still your favorite time of the day.

Nana got you a swing for pretty days outside. You really seemed to enjoy it. Hopefully Spring will come early so you can enjoy it more.

Ripping paper has become one of your favorite things to do.

One of my favorite moments this month was when daddy picked you up from Mrs. Patty's and she had put this bib on you just for your daddy to see. We love Mrs. Patty!
