8 Months

Our gorgeous baby boy is 8 months old today. What a hunk. ♥

Adam has boundless energy, astounding strength for his size, and a very loud voice.

4.5 months

He loves to discover, explore, destroy, "do it myself," get messy, sing, and bounce. Bounce, bounce, bounce!

5 months

He doesn't crawl yet, but that hasn't stopped him from getting into trouble! Roll-roll-roll-pivot, roll-roll-roll-pivot: he's a mover and a shaker.

5.5 months

He thinks "big people" food is the greatest thing ever. He flirts with all the ladies. He enjoys his books (will sit still for story time up to 30 minutes) and can point to pictures and clap his hands.

6 months

He's sensitive, intense, expressive, and an attention hog. And a bed hog. He likes toys that make noise but he's terrified of hair dryers, vacuums, spray cans, diesel engines and train whistles. He despises his car seat. He LOVES bath time. And being outside.

6.5 months

He knows what's off-limits and prefers gadgets (i.e. remote controls and cell phones) to his own brightly-colored, age-appropriate toys. He's addicted to YouTube (Sesame Street, mostly).

7 months

He has an infectious laugh and a charming smile.

7.5 months

He's long since outgrown his swing and bouncy chair, and he's already wearing 12M clothes! He's working on some new teeth and new words (his first word was "Dada!").

7.5 months

Every day is filled with new wonders, challenges and breakthroughs. We couldn't be prouder, more fascinated, or more in love with our precious little guy.

Happy 8-month birthday, A.J.!
