Life flies by in seconds... Sometimes when I go to my boy's room to get him up from his nap I swear he has grown bigger since I laid him down. On the topic of motherhood, a speaker I recently heard at a conference for women said, "The days will feel long, but the weeks fly by." So far that seems to be an accurate description of what having a baby has been like.
Without further ado, here is little man at 8 months -
Enjoying the warm weather on our back patio!
Not enjoying the confinement of the bumbo...
This face melts my heart.. Seriously it tugs my heartstrings when he is sad.
Mischievous as per usual.
Calvin LOVES LOVES LOVES to be outside and go on walks!
Calvin is quite mobile even though he can't really crawl properly - he does this inch worm type move or rolls to get where he wants to go. He says 'dadada' when he is happy.. but when he is upset he remembers how to say "MAMAMA" and it melts my heart.
He loves all his baby food so far and does a happy dance whenever he sees me getting it out of the cupboard.
His dad changes him and feeds him in the morning, then puts him back in his crib where he just plays and patiently waits for Mom to come get him. He is so patient and mellow.
He loves to eat paper things, which can be scary because I swear he finds papers faster than I can keep up with him! I have pulled clumps of paper out of his mouth which he has found and devoured. Who knows how much he has really eaten... Yikes!
He loves to sit on my lap and play the piano. He also loves when his Daddy makes drumming noises - it entrances him. He is such a fun little pal to stay with all day, I can't imagine life any other way.
Happy 8 months little man!
Looking at this Post from the perspective of over a year later, it is amazing how much Calvin has grown and matured. He is still a little boy, but he has a fun personality and I enjoy just playing with him one on one. As we looked at videos of Mike at this age, it is remarkable how much alike Father and Son are. As Calvin continues to grow, it will be interesting to see how much he resembles Mike.
