8 Months

Jonathan is eight months or 3/4 year old today. He is crawling all over the house, pulling things off selves, eating lots of chunky foods, tackling the cats, baby talking all the time, sitting up from laying down, holding on to furniture as he stands, and sprouting three new teeth! He is quite the busy boy these days!

He loves for us to read and sing to him. He loves to be outside and play in the sand (and eat the sand). He adores Benjamin and follows him everywhere he can. They play together all day long, but their favorite time is bathtime.



Loving his green beans.

Benjamin loves to hold Jonathan for pictures.




He loves this giraffe.


Trying some steamed broccoli, carrots, peas, and water chestnuts.








"My giraffe!"


Benjamin wears his backpack a good part of the day. He puts all of his favorite things in it and it always has to go with us when we leave the house. Jonathan loves to chew on the straps. Benjamin was very nice today and let Jonathan have his backpack to chew on so he could feel better.


Jonathan LOVES the water. It makes him very relaxed and happy. With him teething right now, he has been taking several baths a day.





Chewing a a cool rag seems to really help his teething pain.




Chewing on boats.




And playing with boats.
