learning to fly: 8 months

On September 19, 2012, our boy Tucker turned 8 months. He accomplish quite a bit in the month leading up to this. Here is what I want him to know.

- You wear size 9 month clothes, size 3 diapers, and weigh 20 pounds. We call you our little sack of potatoes since you are so heavy to pick up. ;) You also have 6 teeth with the 7th cutting through.

- We also call you Curious George since you are checking out everything!

-You moved into a rear facing big boy car seat. It took Daddy quite some time to get these things installed into the cars!

- You are becoming a super fast crawler. Most of the time you do this awkward crawl where your left leg is straight and you use it to push yourself along.

- You are attempting to pull up on things and sometimes you succeed but your legs are still pretty shaky.

- You absolutely love your elephant ball blowing toy, although the basketball hoop and blocks are still favorites as well.

- You have also discovered the joys of random things around the house. The spring-like doorstop, dog bowl, front door, and washer/dryer are apparently really interesting. ;)

- You love to eat. This month your favorites are cut up bananas, sweet potato puffs, and greek yogurt. We still make all of your food although we do give you organic pouches if we are out to eat or at the coast since frozen cubes don't travel very well.

- You are pretty well-behaved at restaurants as long as you get something to snack on too.

- You still love helping Mommy with chores. Yay! :)

- You learned how to play hide and seek. When we hide under a blanket, you lift it up and laugh uncontrollably when you see us underneath. Then you hide us and do it again.
