How Exciting!

Ok, this will be a short post, no pictures or anything, but I felt a tooth today! One little bottom tooth is peeking through! The only sign from the Perfect Baby was some drooling. He's not cranky at all. As a matter of fact, he was sitting in his highchair while I was getting his dinner a little while ago, and laughing and laughing at me. I wasn't doing anything particularly funny, just grabbing a spoon and mixing a bottle. Things he's seen a hundred times before. He's a giggley baby.

Oh and speaking of dinner, he's getting a little better at chunky food. Now instead of gagging, he says "ahh."And he loooves strawberry yogurt.

And another exciting thing-- he can crawl backwards! Well, not exactly crawling, he's sort of inching, like an inchworm. But he's moving! So I guess we need to get on the babyproofing...

Happy 8 month birthday Jack!

Jack is 8 months old today! I can't beleive how fast this happened. It seems like yesterday we were driving him home from the hospital, going about 20 mph on the highway. He's sitting right next to me at the moment, in his jumpy seat, jumping away. He does his fake cough every once in a while to make me look at him, and then when I do, he tilts his head to the side and pretends to be shy. I should get some video of this, becasue it's the cutest thing ever!

He just went to the doctor last week for shots and a check up, and everything is just fine! He of course, continues to grow like a weed-- 24 pounds, 29 inches!. One more inch and he will be half as tall as me! His height and weight are at 95% and his head size it off the charts! All other babies look oddly tiny-headed to me now.

Let's see--what other odds and ends? He likes eating zweiback toast, but he likes feeding it to Seamus more. He really like orange wedges. He's not crazy about apple juice. He's in a full size crib! But he still won't roll over.

Ok, he's dropped the charming act, and he's growling at me now. That can only mean one thing--time for dinner!
