8 Months Old!

Once again I find myself very far behind with blogging. It seems like we always have so much going on, but I will try to catch up so stay tuned. Oliver turned 8 months at the end of March, so this is way overdue! His hair is growing like crazy and he will be having his very first haircut this weekend, at first it was going to be a trim around his ears, but now I think he needs a real haircut! He is still pretty blond and so far has kept his big blue eyes, which attract a lot of attention! He is extremely vocal and not so mobile. He has recently mastered waving and accompanies it with a very soft (although it's getting louder now) bye bye. His regular words are Mama, Dada and Yay (when he claps) and he is able to use them appropriately. He laughs like crazy at Henry especially if Henry is crying, which is just plain mean! He can get around the floor on his belly going backwards and he can scoot on his bum, but he has not mastered crawling on all fours. He still prefers sitting position and has started really yelling to get every one's attention. He continues to be a great eater and is almost totally on non pureed food. He has mastered a sippy cup and is known for stealing Henry's drinks, so I am quite sure he has had chocolate milk as well as orange juice. Oliver is just the sweetest baby ever and will cuddle all day if I let him. He is still a mama's boy and I hope that never goes away! I can't believe how big he is getting! He brings us so much joy every day!! Henry continues to be the best big brother...he will check on him if he is sad and will share some of his toys with him depending on the day. Here are some pics of our baby!

The sign goes right in the mouth so I had to assist with this one.






My happy baby!
