It literally feels like last week I was saying Dylan had just turned 6 months old and, here he is, 8 months old today! His growth must go that much quicker because I get so little time with him during the week. I truly try to relish every moment in the evenings and weekends that I get to spend with him.
We've had a great month settling in to more of what will be our normal routine. Mike and Dylan have been enjoying their time at home together and are finding lots of fun things to do. Some of Dylan's favorite things are......
Watching Bubbles
Bouncing
And Painting! He's Our Own Little Picasso
He's become a great eater and has 3 meals of "solid" food every day. He's a champ at feeding himself cheerios and really enjoys eating those while we get his rice cereal, fruits and vegetables ready for him to eat. We've started making some baby food for him which has been a lot of fun.
After threatening to crawl for a couple of weeks, Dylan abandoned attempts altogether two weeks ago when he figured out how to sit up by himself. After perfecting that skill for a week, he took up trying to move again. Since starting to crawl on Monday, he has really improved by leaps and bounds over the week. Dylan will cross the room to get toys and can even get across the slippery hardwood floors. When needing a little snuggle time, he'll even crawl over to us. So sweet!
He enjoys hearing himself babble and talk. There still aren't a ton of new distinguishable sounds coming out of his mouth, but Mike and I think we heard a "la la" sound over the last couple of days. Even though he doesn't try to mimic us, he definitely enjoys us making simple sounds to him and is studying our mouths very carefully. I expect he'll try them out for himself any day now.
What a busy month it's been. So many exciting baby developments....we're looking forward to the new adventures of month #8.
