So I'm a few days behind on this month's bday of our baby boy, but I think I'm in denial. He's just growing and growing, and it seems like everytime I blink he has another milestone hit. He's so adorable - I just cannot believe he's mine! He starts his day about 630am every morning - happy and talking to himself in his bed.... When I get him, he gives me this giant smile and that's the best part of my whole day. He eats 4 times a day - usually a full 8oz. He naps 2 times a day - usually about 90min - 2 hrs. He won't really nap anywhere but his bed, but occasionally he'll zonk out in the Ergo. He still has stranger anxiety, but it's getting better. He loves to sit on the floor and play his toys, but lately, he's belly-crawling (Ryan calls it an army-crawl) all over the place! He can get around a whole room! It's like between 7 and 8 months, he became very very mobile! Another new thing is his first tooth is popping through! It's bright white ridges are right under the surface, fighting to pop through those gums, so he's been a drool machine! I think that tooth will finally surface any day now. He's still sucking that thumb and in the last few days, his cheeks have gotten very red- probably from all the saliva around his mouth... and his little thumb is red too for all the sucking. He is very very VERY spoiled... he would be perfectly fine with me holding him nonstop.... But as long as he has a new toy to play with, he's learning to do a little independent play. We begin therapy this week for his feeding issues.... He still can't get any baby food swallowed.... but what's funny is that the other day I gave him a whole chocolate chip cookie and he gnawed on it until it was mush and definitely swallowed some bits of it and only gagged when he got a chunk in his throat. So hmmm... Guess I'll find out how to best feed him soon. He's quite a little mystery. I'm excited to get it under control. He's simply amazing... like super duper oober amazing. :) Can't believe he's 8 months.
