8 months old


Deion has turned 8 months today! A lot of things are going on physically with him, like his thighs are getting leaner, I miss his chubby thighs! Of course this is because he is so much more active and he can not stay still for one minute, it's even hard to change his diaper with him squirming and turning so much. And forget about the bumbo seat, the one place I thought he couldn't escape, but he can easily turn and twist his way out of there-I just couldn't believe it! He's quite a handful, and that's because he hasn't even started walking yet! Wow! I do love this stage though-I just love watching him explore and figure things out, he's such a smart little boy for sure. I have to watch him so closely because everything, I mean EVERYTHING goes into his mouth, expecially small shiny things he'll try to go for like coins and keys, and for some reason he goes after paper a lot and any cords sticking out of the wall. I can say that I've had a lot of practice using my mommy voice with saying "NO" a lot to him, I'm hoping he learns that word well by the time he's 1. Also wanted to report that we have 4, count them 4! teeth, not 2, coming in on the upper front.

Going mobile

Deion has been practicing standing up a lot lately. He's a master crawler now and he will even venture into dark hallways, he's a brave one that's for sure. I think he'll be trying to walk here soon and be able to do it alone within a month. He's also getting more chompers-his two front teeth are coming through!

First Christmas

Okay so it's a little late, but here are some pictures of Deion's first Christmas:

Opening presents bright and early

Here he is playing with his favorite thing. He likes to
practice standing up with his new activity table.


We just love this look here,
it just cracks us up.


And here he is having a blast with daddy
