William 7 almost 8 months

Really?? Are you almost 8 months already? 8 months and I am failing at my goal of keeping track of all your developments.? I swore that I wouldn’t let you fall prey to the second child lack of their information dilemma like I did. *Sigh* the only thing about parenthood that is a sure thing is that you will do a lot of the things you said you wouldn’t. Now that is a mouth full.

Where to go to from here?? Since it has been ohhhhh 3 months?? Since I last wrote about you. So much has happened. My fear that you would be content and never move was irrational. Surprise there?! Amazing you now roll front, back, side to side so all those hours I worried, all those websites I was searching everyday to make sure mine wasn’t the only baby content to lay and just…lay, was for nothing.

Imagine that…mommy worry for nothing?! Hehe

You have started solids. You like to eat for the most part…although you don’t really enjoy textured stuff just yet. You have gotten better. You are eating cheerios right now and it is soooo cute to watch your chubby little fingers pick at them and when you manage to get the cheerio actually to your mouth…well boy, mommy is just as impressed with you as you are with yourself.

I love how I can just look at you and make you smile. Sometimes I feel like we share an inside joke between us (although I don’t actually know what the joke is) but our eyes will lock and we will both smile at each other. It’s our thing.

To say you are a mommas boy would be a lie. You love everyone. Especially your big sister Evelynn. She makes you giggle and squeal and you make her responsible and grown. I know there have been a lot of changes in you in the last 7-8 months but I never expected so many changes to happen with her.

I love when your daddy walks into a room and you get uncontrollable laughter. I don’t know what you find so funny but I do know your laughter is contagious.

Almost crawling. You are pretty good at turning in circles and moving backwards. Basically a pro at getting yourself stuck. I am no longer pushing for you to move on to the next milestone I am happy to enjoy you being a baby as long as possible. I see now with your sister getting so big on me that it goes all too quick.

Cuddle with Momma….I am happy to as long as possible.
