So my little-est man is 8.5 months old! Until about 2 weeks ago, I had no idea he could sit up on his own. We were playing outside one day & my cousin took Philip inside. When I came inside later he was sitting up all on his own in the middle of the room. She asked me how long he could sit without falling over. I was like, "He can sit?!?!?" I had no idea. I never put him down. Don't need to! He's such an easy baby that I just carry him with me all the time! He doesn't fuss to get down, so I carry him everywhere I go. Now, that he can sit, he's trying to get all sorts of crazy & is attempting to crawl. Whenever I see him starting to make forward progress, I scoop him up! No need to crawl sweet boy, mama still needs you to be a baby! I'll be happy to take you anywhere you want to go!Oh, & he got his first tooth! He was giving me kisses all over my cheeks & I realized that I felt something. Sure enough, his first tooth is on the bottom left. My baby is growing up way too fast. But, he looks so cute with it!
And, apparantly, he's old enough to eat Cheerios now. I dropped him off in the church nursery last week, but I forgot something so I had to come back by his room. I noticed he's in the highchair table thing with another little boy & the teacher is pouring cheerios out for both of them. I say to her that he is really not ready for cheerios yet, that he's only capable of eating puffs right now, he might choke, etc. She looks at me & says, "Oh, sorry...he's been having cheerios in here for a couple of weeks. He seems to really like them!" Who knew?!?! I guess I really do want him to stay a baby forever.
This is his first bath with the big boys! I don't know who had more fun: him or his brothers! He splashed & laughed & they just loved it! He tries to eat the bubbles when they get on his hands, much to the delight of Kirkland & Charlie. So great to see them all having fun together! My prayer is that they will always love each other as much or more so than they do now! Sweet, sweet boys!
