8 Months!

I really need to get my booty into gear and get these monthly posts up quicker because now I have a bunch of pictures and thoughts ready for the next month's posts.  Anyway, here's our little guy at 8 months.  What a cutie.

Thomas recently got introduced to table food and is absolutely loving it.  He's tried black beans, bananas, cheerios, those little yogurt snacks, string cheese, blueberries, and cooked carrots although I cooked them weird so they weren't as big of a hit.

He still isn't crawling, but he's a happy little guy and he's started turning around in circles really slowly.  At least he's loving tummy time.  Crawling will come sooner or later and that's totally fine with me... especially because I know that as soon as he starts crawling and getting busier, I'll wish he'd stay in the same spot for ten seconds.

The little man loves bath time and gets excited to see "Mr. Starfish" every night.  He also LOVES his daddy and always goes crazy with his flappy arms when he comes home.

He's starting to really like playing with other kids.  One of his favorite friends is Annie who is just about his age.  They are so cute together.  He also loves his cousins Eliza and Jonathan.  I love that he loves everyone.

Poor Thomas also keeps getting stuck on his tummy while he's in his crib.  I lay him down on his back, he flips over almost immediately, gets stuck and cries, and then finally (FINALLY) falls asleep.  It's so sad to hear him cry for so long.  I tried to flip him back over for a while, but after walking in so many times and it not helping I gave up.  Luckily, this little phase only lasted for a few days.  Now he can flip back over, but he seems to like sleeping on his tummy for the most part.

Thomas is such a joy.  He's definitely a people person and a little cheeser for the camera, the people at church, and for his mommy.  We love him so much.

8 Month Pictures

Yes he's licking the swing.  And yes even though it's gross and I probably should've stopped it, I had to take a picture.  It's just so him. 

Random pictures from this month...

Chowin down on some Mum Mums

Don't think I'm an awful mom because of this picture.  There was one day last month where I was really sick and felt awful all day so Thomas and I watched cartoons.  This was a preview and he didn't sit in front of the TV like this for very long at all, but I thought it was hilarious and pretty dang cute.  

Lovin' his juicy grapes 

Selfie time with Mama

This cheesy little grin kills me.  He just smiles so hard he looks mad.  

This is the day we went through the carwash.  His face in this picture always makes me laugh.  He was so in awe until I started vacuuming on our leather seats.  The squeaky noise make him cry like none other which was so out of character. 

Oh and here's evidence of his OBSESSION with tags.  

And I had to add this little video because I LOVE when Thomas is happy and I go into his room after he wakes up from a nap.  Matt and I used to fight over who got to go in and get him :)
