Month 8

Month 8 Stats
Length?, 21 lbs 7 oz

This month you started standing really well - even walking around the ottoman.  Your sign language skills are coming along well, with "all done", "milk", "bottle", and "more" being the ones you've mastered so far.  Clapping is a big hit for you, as is throwing and slamming toys to the ground. 

We had these next several photos taken professionally to be used as our first Family Christmas Card.  You had some cute moments, but overall were not exactly pleased to be taking pictures instead of a nap.  Grandma & Grandpa were there to be in some, and you really didn't like Santa.  You just wailed when you saw him and this was the "best" of the shoot.

 

Here you are at the Grandparents house, hanging with a pumpkin.

This one is from Thanksgiving, spent with the Taylors, when we went to the park with your cousins and other family and you swung - and looked like a "pod-baby".

 

A trip to the zoo with the Wyckoff family was a good time.  Here Aunt Robyn is holding you while Grandpa's hat is on your head.

Here are Grandpa and you on a carousel at the Memphis Zoo.  You seem to like going around in circles and up & down

This tongue thing you do is interesting - it's like you're trying to keep your chin sufficiently moist, which is odd because of how much you drool.

 

Love you Maevy,

Daddy
