8 Months

So, our little linebacker turned 8 months yesterday!
Yeah, you heard me right, 8 months! WOW!

Lots of changes going on over here. Big boy changes.

If you can believe it, we've graduated to size 4 diapers. Gasp!
I buy diapers by the box, and I knew we couldn't make it through another month in size 3. So, I bought a box of size 4 and they fit him so much better. Ava never wore size 5, but I can assure you, her brother will. =)

Lots of exploring going on. Creeping along, rolling around, pushing off. I see determination in his eyes. And, don't even try to take the remote control or telephone away from him!

As you know, we've enjoyed the waving, swinging & clapping firsts.

I almost forgot...Dean has started having little conversations with us back and forth. Lots of things qualify. It may be a strong "ack" sound. Back and forth, back and forth. It could be a chuckle. Back and forth, back and forth. Whatever it is, it's highly amusing. I'll have to ramble up a video for ya soon.
We've also introduced the sippy cup. He's starting to catch on, but he is still a rookie. Big sissy is very eager to provide lots of help in this department.

Speaking of Ava, it is adorable to see their little relationship and bond continue to grow. He's always been crazy about her, but it seems like they somehow get closer everyday. It's sweet.

We took both kiddos to get their first "studio picture" together. It's a spring-ish photo. Next comes the full family photo...one of these days. If you can believe it, we've never had one before, even with just Ava and us. Stay tuned, that won't be till sometime this summer. So, that's it.
Our little D-man has two-thirds of a year under his little belt.
Happy 8 months!
