8 Months Old

This handsome little boy is 8 months old today. On the eve of his 8 month birthday, he decided he was going to not only crawl across the room, but also, pull himself up on his Little People house. I about freaked out. Then I realized, this was a glimpse into what our future holds. That he is not only going to accomplish the norm, but go even one step further. A show off? Perhaps. An overachiever? Most definitely. He also tried some green beans last night and actually let me put them in his mouth! I am feeling rather rested because our little man slept from 7:45pm-4:45am STRAIGHT THROUGH. That rarely happens! Then he ate and fell back asleep until 6:30.
Our Drakey.... Loves to watch the washing machine. (We have a front loader that fascinates him!) Squeals when he sees the bus, knowing his sisters' hugs and kisses are not far behind. ADORES his daddy. Each day that Daddy comes home is his favorite time of the day. He squeals and reaches for Daddy and won't let go for a very long time. He thinks he's all big and loves to sit, crawl, roll, scoot around the living room, finding new things to get into. He doesn't care for baby food, but we are trying everyday! He sits up in the bathtub now! He loves to play with the toys and fling his arms around to splash Mommy. Peek-a-boo still makes him giggle. He has a really ticklish back! He squeals and giggles when I tickle it with my chin.
We are unbelievably blessed by this little guy and the way his smile makes all of our grumpiness go away.
We love you, Drakey!
