8 Months

Sweet little Jack Jack, 8 months has creeped up on me. You are such a sweet, easy, beautiful boy and you make my heart full. This month you are into every thing. You are constantly on the move, crawling and climbing. You go up stairs with ease which is scary. I swear we are going to be in the ER with you before age 1. Daddy thinks you need a baby jail because we always have to have an eye on you. You are quick my friend. We have never even owned baby gates. Your cautious sister used to wait at the top of stairs until someone held her hand to walk down and she still won't go to the top of a McDonald's play land structure. You have already fallen down the stairs and have a new bump/scratch on yourself daily. You can scale the furniture quickly and are almost standing alone. You hold on just lightly with one hand. You also are into every cabinet and love dumping things. Remote controls and water bottles are pretty cool too. You also really love looking in mirrors and playing with big sister's baby dolls. I think you think they are just like you and research shows babies enjoy faces so don't kill me for writing that. Your favorite mess to make is to pull all of your food off the shelf. Changing your diaper is near impossible because you never like to be still, always flipping and trying crawl away. Also exciting this month, you started clapping about 2 weeks ago and it's so cute. You get a big smile and pretty much clap for all things Hannah as she is your Hero. She loves you back buddy. Today she said, "Mommy, when Jack grows up, I'm going to marry him." The day before Easter you got your first tooth (bottom/middle right) and then yesterday your second tooth appeared. Which means you are a drool bucket but what's new there. You've had a perfect sleep record for about three weeks now and sister is back in your room. I love going in when you are both asleep and just watching you together. You love paci and sleep with many in your bed. You are really into Bella dog and play chase with her which pretty much means, Bella runs and you laugh and crawl really fast to try and get her. You have been eating puffs for about a week. It's pretty funny watching you learn to eat them. Another fun milestone is that you are crawling over and then lifting your arms up when you want up. As for your mystery eye color. I'm going to say brown. Yeah just like mommy! They still have a unique grey/green undertone so you could argue hazel for sure, but I think they are brown. At least for now. Wow it has been a busy month full of lots of fun milestones and development. And Jack got a new little friend on the 21st Braden Scigliano. I'm sure the boys will have a lot of fun together. Happy 8 months!







Dimples :)
