Funny Moments










So B is going on the 8th month mark. He is getting more and more personality every day. Here are just a few of the most recent things that we've really had a laugh over:

He really wants to pull himself up to stand on everything these days, so the other day I was picking up the house and he had crawled over to the sliding glass door in our bedroom. I was going about my business and I heard him start to scream. Not "I'm in pain" type of scream, but like an "I'm mad" scream. So I peak my head around to look to see what he's doing and he's on his knees, both hands flat on the glass door, and he's screaming. I think because he can't figure out how to stand up. Then I totally get this image in my head of a mime in that imaginary box trying to get out. That's kind of what he looked like. Sorry no picture, I didn't grab my camera quick enough.

He has also been hitting a lot too. It's mostly mom while I'm trying to breast feed. But the other day I was changing his diaper, and he swung down and hit his wiener... and started laughing. So he kept doing it and laughing after each time... until he swung a little too hard and then he just looked at me with this shocked look on his face. I was laughing SO hard. No picture for this one either, for obvious reasons.

Pat found this very amusing... he kept taking B's picture, over and over. Because the flash was making B laugh and squint. I thing Pat was just trying to permanently blind our child. This photo is one of 15. When I downloaded our memory card the other day, Pat had some explaining to do :).

Halloween Fun and Recent News

We had a lot of fun on Halloween. Halloween is my FAVORITE holiday. Yes, even more then Christmas. Don't get me wrong, I love the Holiday season (who doesn't?) but there is just something about Halloween... We were the cast of the Wizard of Oz, can you tell? Pat is the Tin Man, I'm Dorothy, and B was the cutest Cowardly Lion ever!











So... I've been saying forever that I was going to get some video of B up here, but I don't think it's happening anytime soon. I decided to post a series of pictures instead. First a little background... So he has been doing this little creep which we've dubbed the "army crawl" since the five month mark. I thought for sure he'd be crawling by six months. Then the seventh month mark rolled around and still no real crawling going on. At about a week after he turned seven months we got on film an actual crawl. Just a few moves up on his hands and knees. So then we thought for sure by the weekend he was going to take off and just be crawling like a mad man. Well he still is getting up on his hands and knees for a little bit, but is mostly doing his belly crawl. So a few days ago we are all in the living room and B decides to do this little trick....
























Do you like our barricade? We had to get inventive... what is it with dog food? I swear it's like a magnet for babies. We need a gate so bad. Anyway... We could not believe that B pulled himself up a few days ago. He hasn't even really crawled yet! We can tell he is so ready to be on the move though, he get's so frustrated with his limited ability to get around. It's a little sad that he's getting so big so fast... I wish they could stay little for longer. Before I know it I'm going to have a toddler!! (sniff). Oh by the way... B is NOT a nickname for the little man. I just don't like using his name on here :)

Oh, also. B has two more teeth coming in. So the count is six.
