Happy 8 Months!!

I seriously cannot believe that Blake is 8 months old already! Where has the time gone? He is getting more and more fun to be around every single day. I feel like Ry and I are so blessed to have such a perfect little boy!

Things Blake is doing this month:

-Grabbing EVERYTHING in sight….hair, necklaces, skin, etc.
-trying hard to crawl, but not quite putting it together yet. Uses hands but no knees, or knees but no hands!
-sitting up ALL alone like a big boy!
-sleeping for 10 hours straight each night
-going to bed all by himself…Ry and I are trying to get out of the habit of rocking him to sleep…I think that it is harder for us than him. Blake talks to himself for a few minutes and then dozes off to sleep!
-laughing all of the time
-eating three meals a day…such a good eater!
-giving great (open mouth, slobbery) kisses
-spending lots of time with grandma…and loving every minute of it
-being a crazy man in his Johnny-Jump-Up. Spins and spins and then lifts his feet with he turns in circles!
-Going lots of places with mama as she gets stuff around for the wedding
-getting more hair all of the time…
-making us love him more and more every single day (if that is even possible!!)

I loved rocking my little one to sleep. Definitely harder for the parents to give up! LOL
