Oh my sweet Jaxson, how you bump your sweet little round head on everything. It seems like every day when I pick you up from daycare they say “He hit his head again today”. At daycare you love to climb/roll off of the padded little climbing thing…too bad the padded part isn’t on the floor. It is only a matter of time before the bruises start showing up. You love to try to pull up on things, but get scared when you get on your knees and haven’t figured out how to get down the easy way yet. Because you are changing so much right before our eyes, I’m doing your “what you are doing” about a week shy of your 8 month birthday. Wow…8 months…brings tears because it’s all too fast. You are eating stage 3 baby foods now and continue to be a very good eater. Your bottle feedings are decreasing and that’s sad for Mommy & Daddy because that’s our special time. With our crazy hectic lives, it was always nice to take a few minutes to give you your bottle and just love on you. Now, you want to be on the go-go-go! I think your favorite part of the day is chasing the dogs in the walker. You smile so big when you see them running from you! You are fascinated with cabinet handles/knobs, blinds and anything else you don’t need to be in. You have 2 visible teeth and they hurt when you bite! For the 1st time in a LONG time, you were congestion free last week! But we had hardly any humidity…but guess what is back this week?! HUMIDITY & STUFFY NOSE! I see hope in our future though…in just a few weeks no more forcing zyrtec down you at night. I am so proud to be your Moma and love the way you light up when I pick you up from daycare. Today I went to talk to your teachers about you falling all the time and you cried when I had to leave. It brought me to tears and I almost picked you up and ran away with you- to our house of course! If Daddy could see that face, he would agree that Mommy needs to be a stay-at-home-mom. Daddy and I love you beyond measure and I don’t think we will ever be able to tell you that enough. Maybe one day you will have a little brother or sister, but right now we want to devote all of our time to you and cherish every minute of watching you grow. I will start getting things ready for your 1st birthday soon. I usually have big ideas in my head, I draw them out and then Daddy makes them happen (look at the drawing of your room in your scrapbook). Between the two of us, we usually get what we want out of Daddy :) Since we are doing a “milk and cookies” theme (good thing you aren’t lactose intolerant!), there aren’t any cute invitations that I can order so I will start making those by hand soon and I’m so excited to get started on them!
Happy early 8 months my sweet baby…I love you

He reminds me of Riley at that age-always on the go. but Averly is so laid back. It's crazy how different they are. I think it's boys & girls really. He sounds like he's going to be walking soon!!
ReplyDeleteCan I just say how excited I am that you are using my "milk & cookies" idea!?! I have soo many ideas for that brewing in my head :) I can't wait to see what you come up with...but I also hope the next 4 months goes by very slow. For your sake, because time just flies by when your a mommy-as you know!
