Wow!! Alexander is 8 months old! That slipped up on us fast! We'll be planning a 1 yr old bday party before we know it!
We don't go to the doctor again until our 9 month check up so I don't have a weight or height on him, but I am sure you can tell....we are growing! What a big boy!
Alexander loves to play with his toys....blocks, rocking motorcycle, pretend handyman toys...you name it, he will find a way to bang them together and enjoy the time for a few minutes! We bought him a "push toy" that you walk behind. He likes it, but doesn't like walking away from you. He likes to hold your hand and walk much better! He still isn't crawling unless there is a remote or cell phone to get....we're working on it! He is still in scooting mode!
With the nice weather, we are all enjoying being outside. Whether it is time out on the deck or time spent in the park, we are soaking up the rays and can't wait till Summer when we can be out at the pool!
We have tried applesauce, bananas, Gerber teething biscuits and continue to love our veggies! With NO teeth, it is kinda yucky to have to puree everything, but we are trying to chunck things a bit for him to gum! Eric fixed pancakes a few weekends ago and made baby pancakes...Alexander loved them!! I am excited the weather is changing and we will have the opportunity to introduce such yummy fruits! We won't try meat for another month or so, but we will do breads, pasta, you know....the yummy things!!
We were invited to our first birthday party, coming up this weekend and are super excited! Our friend Isaac will be 2....will Alexander get a small sample of birthday cake?? We shall see!
Well friends, all has been well for us. Eric has been busy with work. I am finally off orientation and on my own (phew! that is worth a prayer in itself!) Hope the same for you! I don't usually ask this, but please place a friend of mine in your prayers. Pray for Tiffany & Matt....a full length, healthy pregnancy--here is to 9 good ole' months (at least!) and a healthy bouncing baby!!
More later!
