Sam, you are 8 months old today!
You continue to be such a happy, easy going baby.
You still wear a size 3 diaper.
You are in some 9 month and some 12 month clothing, depending on the fit.
I still have not found any socks that will really stay on your foot. You have a chubby foot that I could eat it up!
You are lengthening out some more so that you do not seem as chunky as you were a couple of months ago. I love your sweet rolls and double chin!
You still only have 2 teeth showing, but you are working on your top front teeth. There are 2 good sized bumps on your upper gum. I can tell that they have been bothering you the past couple of days with you getting fussy so easily and not napping well. I am pretty sure that you will have 4 teeth by the time you are 9 months old.
You are getting close to figuring out how to crawl. You can get up onto all fours and rock a little, but if you start to try to go you end up scooting backward. You are able to turn yourself around with your arms to get whatever toys are near you.
You still nurse 5 times a day.
You love food. When I put pieces of food or puffs on your tray, you grab at them and take them straight to you mouth like you can't get them in fast enough. We joke that you can't wait to have a steak in front of you!
Kirksey gives you so much entertainment and love (when you are not trying to play with something she decides she wants).
She also is so sweet cheering for you to do things and encouraging you along.
Today also marks 35 weeks since you were born. Two more days and that will be as long as I carried you before we got to hold you in our arms.
You will never truly know how deeply I love you!
