Eight Months!

Time flies when you're having fun! Gabe is 8 months now! (and he was very cooperative for his photos this month!) He and I both are just loving spring and have been enjoying lots and lots of time outside! He absolutely loves wearing his shorts and having his "piggies" out (makes it a lot easier to suck on if you don't have to deal with taking a sock off!)

At eight months he sits well by himself... and has absolutley NO desire to crawl. He is happy as a clam just sitting and playing with his toys. Crawling would involve being on your tummy and he wants NO part of that!! He is happy to stand though. These days EVERYTHING goes into his mouth... and he continues to eat like a champ (although we have been on a veggie strike lately) He has 4 teeth now... his two bottom front teeth and his upper incisors (wierd I know... he's going to look like a vampire) He has learned to vocalize his dislikes quite well (why didn't anyone tell me that tantrums start this early. I honestly thought I was good until he hit two!!) He has also learned to throw things in a fit of rage. But my all time favorite thing he is doing at eight months... is giving kisses! It is so sweet. He opens his mouth big and wide and will plant a big slobbery wet kiss right on your cheek. I'll try and capture a video of this!

My little cutie :)


Oh yeah... look!!! He is getting hair! WAHOO!


Don't mess with me bear!! I'm bigger than you!


These days we are cruising in our car everyday! He absolutely LOVES his car!

A big fan of playing ball..... Zoey is too!
