Oh Where Oh Where has my baby boy gone?

Tucker is officially 8 months old tomorrow...where has the time gone?

* He is wearing 12-18 month clothes.

* He has tried apples, bananas, pineapple, broccoli, sweet peas, green beans, potatos, bread, carrots, squash, and zucchini.

* He is crawling and getting into anything he wants.

* He loves pushing a ball around and following it around the house.

* He has really started thinking about how to get something. For example: this morning he pushed his ball under the table and couldn't get to it - normally he would let me know that he needs me to get it for him, but I sat there and watched as he crawled all around the table until he could get it without my help - he is growing up!


* One of our favorite past times these days is swinging - I found this swing at a garage sale for $5 and it was the best $5 I have spent - He LOVES it!

 * He plays so well by himself.  He still wants me there, which I love, but he is learning to start taking a few minutes here and there to himself while I'm getting ready or doing laundry - such independance.

 * Bath time has become a little different around here lately.  Tucker loves to play in the bottom of of the shower with toys. 

 * We went to the Pink Palace Craft Fair at Autabon park - it was fun, but a little hot.  He was a trouper though!

 * Lunch at the Hut with mommy, daddy, grammy, and granny- He has decided that it's really fun to scream and test his voice out when we are at restaurants.  It's not obnoxious, but he sure enjoys himself when we are out at lunch.

 * Our new cool tennies...size 4 thank you!
                                        
 * Another favorite past time right now is standing at any door he can see out of and try to talk to Avery.  He really likes talking to her and giggles when she comes up to the window.

 * The "table that talks" is such a fun play toy.  It speaks in spanish, english, and music.  He has started pushing it around the house like its a walker, too funny!

 * The true walker.  He can get pretty far with it too!

 * We found out what smashing ritz crackers on the floors does...so much fun to make a mess.

 * Grammy's toy chest - "I can get into it whenever I want" - he pulls all the toys out and then moves on. :)

 * One of Jonathan's best friends got married the first weekend of October - this was little man ready for the rehersal dinner.  Little man has been to so many weddings in so few months - 5 to be exact!

Happy 8 months sweet boy! We love you!
