8 Months!

You know the 10th of the month couldn't go by without Eli letting you know! Yes, that's right, my baby is 8 months old!

It's amazing how time flies! I know, I know, I say that every month, but still...

At this point in his life he can roll over, sit on his own, stand with lots of help :), say many fun 'words' (including a new one today-zazaza...or maybe sasasa...), clap his hands, and many other super interesting things. He also has three teeth with another one on his way, and can eat everything I've given him, though he gags when given egg whites. I'm pretty sure his favorite foods are carrots and bananas, or maybe apples...or peaches...or sweet potatoes...okay, I really have no idea, but I like to think I know his favorites. He's still stuck on Baby Beethoven, and won't watch any other Baby Einstein movies. Edgar and I are hoping he likes Handy Manny because we were totally entertained when we watched it last Saturday...though he doesn't seem too interested...yet. He loves watching Uncle Ryan sing "Beat It" while playing guitar hero, and really, who wouldn't?

He just got an 'exo-saucer' (no idea how to spell that) from our neighbor. It's on loan from her until he grows out of it, which, sad to say, might be sooner than later (just moved him up to 18 month clothes!! Well..he's still in 12 month pants). He loved playing in it today, and stayed completely entertained for 45 minutes while mommy played with pictures on Photoshop. Hmmm...seems like mommy was trying to avoid cleaning the bathroom... He's getting so much better with his hands, and can pick up anything that's not too heavy...which really drives home the fact that I need to vacuum more, because he loves small things.

That's about all for now. I need to head to bed. The past 8 months have made me tired...
