8 Months - We Love This Boy!

Month 8...really? I have already started thinking about his 1st birthday!

Not much has happened this month - we tried to take it easy with the traveling and plans.  Lee has mastered the crawling and standing!  He has walked some with the toy walker but knows he can get where he wants by crawling.

He loves the dog's bed - he will crawl over and run them out, then sit and play for a few minutes.  When he leaves, they go lay back down.

Reading and hanging out in the doggy bed!

We have had a few really nice days to play outside!  Lee loves to swing - we bought him an outdoor swing for our house! I cannot wait to play outside with him.

We have had a few outings with friends, which is so much fun!  He loves to climb on things,playing with balls, climbing in boxes and under tables!

                  

Caleb and Lee went walking then to the mall!      Walking on a chilly morning with Caleb and Millie!

Shopping with mommy!!!!

 Kitchen Adventures 

We celebrated Mary Margaret's 3rd birthday at he very end of January.  Lee loved the gymnastics floor and bouncers!  He also likes to play with Levi!

 Calling each other's cell phones and digging in the toy basket!

Bouncing with mommy and Anna Catherine!

Lee had his first yucky cold this month - it was not fun! Glad he is finally better - now if we could sleep through the night again.

Sick baby = Tired mommy

We are currently on night 4 of bed before 10 (I am talking 8:30 or 9!!!) - if you know us typically he was staying up until 11 just because we stay up late.  Then he sleeps in with us too!  He has slowly gone to bed earlier which is nice for Mommy and Daddy, but he has started waking up in the middle of the night which is not desirable.  As I am typing this (February 27) he is spending the first night in his own room in his own crib!!!  This is the first night he has slept in a different room than us his entire life!  We will see how many times I have to get up to put a paci back in his mouth or just to get him back to sleep!  Praying it is a good night! (He made it to 2 AM!)

First nap in his new bed!  

Daddy tested and approved of Lee's new bed!

We leave you with a few pictures from his 8 month photo shoot!  These are getting harder and harder each month!  But I take what I can get!  We love to hear our sweet boy laugh - he is so much fun!

Loving on Snappy! 

"I'm Gonna Get YOU!!!" - always sends him into giggles! 

ENOUGH MOMMY! 

That smile!!

 Let me have that camera mommy!!

I CAN STAND!!!! 

WE LOVE YOU LEE!!!
