8 months

Time to catch up on the monthly post again already! Here goes...
This month, Legend, you have really become confident in your sitting and in the tub you scoot your little bum all around and give your mother a heart attack because you always slip!

You always try (and succeed) at pulling yourself into a standing position on the bars in the tub.  The first time you did it your arms were shaking and you really had to focus, but once you did it something clicked and you could just pull yourself right up in to a standing position! You also try to pull yourself up with chairs and other things, but haven't been as successful.

You have found out that you can "click" your tongue and you do it all the time! It is so funny when you start doing it because if we do it back to you, you get all excited and you do it even more.  It's like a little language for you! So funny!

You have discovered how to spit with your tongue and you do it all the time! Luckily you don't do it too much while you're eating, but when you are bored you stick out your tongue and either just leave it out, (it's like you just realized you HAVE a tongue), or start spitting.  Both activities leave your shirt completely soaked.

This month you got a helmet to shape your flat head and you are doing well with it. At first it made you a little frustrated and you didn't like having it put on or taken off, but you seem to be used to it now.

One day while at grandma's house you just figured out how to roll from your back to your tummy! You could always do it the other way but couldn't get all the way over on to your belly. Once it clicked you just started rolling all over the place in every direction!  You scoot in circles a little bit as well but mostly you just roll, and now that you know you can get anywhere you want, you don't want to be held or cuddled; you just want to be on the floor getting in to things!!

We are working on you putting yourself to sleep and you have been doing pretty good! If you are really tired and you've had your bottle, I can usually lay you down and you'll eventually "sing" or talk yourself to sleep. It's a little harder with nap times but we're getting there.  If we're not at home, however, you REFUSE to miss out on a party. You are so stubborn that way and you won't let yourself just fall asleep.

You are starting to grow out of all your 12 month sized clothes, and fitting in to 18 mo sizes.... you just grow so fast I can't keep up! It seriously feels like I am constantly buying new clothes.

You can be VERY stubborn sometimes... Dad says you get that from me, but HE can be just as stubborn.  We love you OH so much!

 This is Legend's favorite toy now; he LOVES to watch the balls pop around and to hold them in his hands!

Any time Legend is playing on the floor, Mumford is RIGHT by his side. They love each other so much! I had to put this picture on here because it was so dang cute and is pretty much the story these days; Legend just holds on to Mumford's large supply of hair, often PULLING, but Mumford never seems to mind. He just takes it!

34 weeks on Feb 14.  Happy Valentine's Day!



 He kept rubbing off my marker on this picture but I loved his facial expression. (He has so many!)
