Happy EIGHT Months, Joseph!

You are on the GO, GO, GO! Favorite mode of transportation is crawling like you're being chased..maybe you are, since you ALWAYS have something in your mouth that you're not supposed to. You're pulling up on everything, cruising, letting go and thinking you can walk...resulting in our first little face injury yesterday.

It wasn't here, it was actually before this. 

A typical day with you usually starts at 2am. haha. Not kidding.
So, 2am, you nurse. Then you either forget to set your alarm for 5am and sleep until 7 OR I get the pleasure of seeing your cute little face again at 5am and then you are either nestled in with me or in your crib until around 8. 

We usually wait for your sister to wake up and then have some breakfast. You will eat anything, we have yet to find something that you do not like. 

After that, you crawl laps around the house, looking for every little thing you can possibly find to put in your mouth. You generally entertain yourself, but also love when your sister, brother or one of us play too.

I can tell you're going to be mischievous because you get into EVERYTHING. We never had to baby-proof before, but I think things are going to be different with you.

You are a generally happy guy...lately always have your tongue hanging out, making you look like a puppy, especially when you're crawling around.haha. 

Like the rest of us, you ALWAYS have something to say! When you want me, you say Mama...it melts my heart, but I'm quite sure you that is your way of saying "milk" because I say milk each time before I nurse you. But, we can pretend it means Mommy.hehe.

You also say, "ba ba" for "bye bye" when you see someone (mainly the cat) leaving the room.

Those are the two unprompted words you have right now.  

You will try to repeat a lot and even surprised Be-pop with a "bop" on a FaceTime convo the other day.

The rest is still jibberish....and I love it.

You are a pretty go with the flow guy when we are out. You don't mind being dropped off at the gym or shopping. But, you don't really like the car....actually, you loathe the car and really make that known. 

Let's see, things you love....

Swimming! It is so adorable to see you in the pool. You love to splash, kick, dunk your face, such a little water bug. I do believe swimming lessons are in your near future!

Cuddling. You love to cuddle...especially at night. But, really, you would stay in our arms all the time. 

People watching. Oh my gosh, when we are out, you study everyone around you and catch their attention a majority of the time.

Cheerios, fuzz balls, paper, wires, remotes, phones, anything you could find on the floor. Half of the day is probably spent retrieving things from you that you shouldn't have.

Your nuk, lovey and zebra at bedtime. These three things stay in your bed because that's what you look for the second we lay you down...nuk in your mouth, the lovey and zebra on each arm. Every time.

Love you, little cuddle bug. 

Happy EIGHT Months, Joseph! Oh, and I have affectionately nicknamed you Joe-joe. hehe. But, that's usually only to get your attention when you won't respond to Joseph.
