Andrew 8 months old!

Oh my goodness.  Adrew turned 8 months old on August 11th.  There's so much to tell about this little baby who's growing into a little boy before our eyes!  

He started eating in earnest about a week ago.  He's been insisting on eating what we're eating and is very sad if we say no.  This is how he ended up munching on a cinnamon graham cracker. :)


Two teeth came through on the bottom!  He had a hard time for one say, but seemed to bounce back,  

He is a determined baby by. If he wants something, by golly, he's going to do his best to get it.  He'll crawl over legs, push over boxes, crawl around toys to get to his desired destination.  It's really fun to watch him in action.



He charmed our family this vacation.  He is at such a fun age- giggling, engaging in play, showing off his advanced motor skills.  He's hilarious blowing bubbles, making silly scrunch faces and repeating "dadadada." 

Andrew figured out how to crawl in Wisconsin.  He said goodbye to his 'worm' crawl over a few days and now uses the traditional crawl 99% of the time.  I was sad to see his unique crawl go away, but proud of him for learning a new skill.  



Andrew has also figured out how to crawl stairs.  He's been able to go up 1 or 2, but in Wisconsin. He learned to go the entire staircase.  Now, it's one of his favorite things to do!  He's so proud!

Andrew has said goodbye to his dream feed.  He's now sleeping ~11 hours at night and ~4 hours during naps.  He wakes up happy and ready to move!  



He was such a good baby to travel with!  He was happy on the 2 hour drive to the airport and happy on the plane.  On the way home, he even fell asleep on me.  

He's got such a fun personality- loves to laugh,squeals and screams with delight if you tickle him.  He loves peek-a-boo and playing chase.
