8 Months (1 day late)


I'm cute.


And I'm gonna getcha!


Got ya!


I love pasta!

In the past couple months Isaac has grown so much and learned so much! He loves solid food now! Some of his favorites are pasta with spaghetti sauce (which is ironic since tomato of any kind made me super sick while i was pregnant), eggs, pancakes, any fruit, rice, green beans and cream of wheat with fruit. He really loves food.

He is also starting to get mobile. He does a little army crawling and quite a bit of rolling these days. He is trying to pull himself up on everything and has succeeded without help once on the bathtub (terrified me as i was laying his towel out!). He gets on his hands and knees with his belly off the ground but only in his crib (weird huh?). All of his new found mobility hasn't really made things easier, it just makes him more capable to get to me for me to hold him. I do not have an independent little boy. And holding him constantly is killing my back, he is HEAVY.

The past couple weeks have been really really hard. I think I've had more days with tears (from me and him) than days without. He has just been so clingy and never wants to be on his own any more even for 5 minutes and it's wearing on me. So after 2 weeks of that he pinched his finger and was holding his breath while working up his scream (you know what I'm talking about) and I saw that he had cut a tooth! So that explains the super clingyness (i hope) and maybe it will get a little better after he cuts the second tooth which seems to be any day now if I can judge from the amount of drool he has. Despite the clingyness he has been quite the trooper with the teething. I didn't even realize that was what was going on until I saw the tooth.

At least he's cute to make up for the pain that he is a lot of the time! Happy 8 months little guy!

You're right about that "Cute" part, wow, what a face! Hang in there, you're the best, sweetie! He is a difficult, DIFFICULT baby, but he's totally worth it. Call whenever you need to. Love you a lot!
