Late 8 Month Post

This 8 month post of Nixon is almost a month late, but it's mostly for my sake since this blog is pretty much where I keep track of things and it's like my journal. Anyway, he's growing so fast and is non-stop ALL THE TIME. He seriously does not and I don't think he knows how to sit still. He is ALWAYS on the go or doing something. He's very very alert and is always looking around to see what he can get into next. He is so much fun and is such a happy boy.

He LOVES bath time. Whenever he hears the bath water running, he crawls straight to the tub.

Things he's doing at 8 months:

-crawling super fast

-stands and walks holding onto whatever he can

-stands without holding onto anything

-has his two bottom teeth

-talks a ton (mama, dada, baba)

-clicks his tongue on the top of his mouth

-smacks his lips together

-scrunches his nose when he gets excited

-kicks his legs super fast when he gets excited

-flails his arms when he gets excited

-feeds himself Cheerios's and other foods

-eats solids 3-4 times a day

-sleeps 12+ hours a night

-takes power naps during the day

-knows his parents and grandparents very well

-raises his arms in touchdown formation when you say "touchdown"

-knows patty cake

-loves playing peek-a-boo

-crawls up stairs very quickly

And this is Nixon sleeping in what we call his "stink bug." This is his favorite position to sleep in. We love it and think it is so cute!!!

I can't believe that he is going to be 9 months old next week. It's amazing how time flies, especially because we are so busy. But life is good!!!
