Samuel has changed a lot in just one month. He seems like such a toddler now...even though I know he isn't. Here are some things about our little 8 month old that I want to remember:
- He is wearing size 2-3 diaper and size 9-12 month clothes
- He is very ticklish...especially under his chin
- He drinks 4 bottles a day, each 6-7 ounces
- He eats three solid meals with one snack a day. He actually likes everything now..even the greens and the weird combos like turkey/rice and chicken/apples.
- He can pick up puffs/yogurt melts with his two fingers and surprisingly put it in his mouth
- He sleeps from 7pm-7 or 7:30am every day and naps from roughly 9-10:30 am and 1:30-3:30 pm
- He has been attending the childcare at the gym and seems to be doing well without mommy
- He is getting up on all fours from tummy time but only rocks a little and then falls back down. The boy loves his tummy so I don't think he is in huge rush to crawl
- He can stand on his own at the ottoman or the leapfrog toy
- He favorite toys are his "links", his octopus, and Scout the dog. He is starting to really enjoy his basketball hoop as well
- He still LOVES bath time but hates to lay down while I wash him. He will just kick his legs like crazy and soak me until I give in and sit him up
- He loves his paci and I pretty much give it to him whenever he wants it. I'll pay the price later
- He screams at the top of his lungs ALOT
- He still isn't babbling at all..only screaming and cooing. I practice "mommy" with him all day but he just stares at me and then screams
- He laughs really hard when you blow on his belly or throw him up in the air
- He flirts with people all of the time. He does this especially at restaurants when the wait staff comes around.
- He is fascinated with the hair dryer. This works out great because he just stares at me while I dry my hair. I hope this stage lasts a while
- He still loves Praise Baby...in fact..we now own 5 videos
- He smiles really big when daddy starts chanting "Husker Power" or "Go Big Red"
What a precious boy God has blessed us with. I try not to take one second for granted with him and I want to soak in every moment. Happy 8 months Samuel...love you to the moon and back...times 100!

Such a sweet boy! Please make sure to balance out Thad's Nebraska indoctrination by teaching Samuel to say "Woooo Pig Sooie!"
Samuel's hair is so blonde and cute. He is looking a lot older than the last time I saw him. Must be all of that good eatin'.
