8 Month Love

I adore watching my children grow and each stage has its own great characteristics.  With that being said, I think 8 months is one of the most fun and adorable stages of life!  Elijah is crawling all over the place, beginning to talk (Momma, Dada, Baba, Nana), has gotten three teeth, loves to play and explore, laughs, giggles, and plays games (his favorite is Peek-a-boo), climbs all over the place, is learning how to stand and walk, loves and adores his sister, plays with the dogs, watching and copies things that we do (like clapping), absolutely loves music, and loves the water.  He is just such a joy!  Elijah will be 9 months on Saturday already, so I wanted to capture some of the great things he's learning and doing right now at 8 months old. 

"I'm 8 months old today!"

Hmm...I might eat this.....

Watching the dogs outside-he just adores Cayman and Ana (our two pugs)!

Always has a smile for us!

Snuggling with momma :)

Playing with Bella

Elijah LOVES bath time, and will wait and watch Bella taking her bath until it's his turn!

Those are some chubby cheeks-so kissable!

LOVES the water! 

I thought Bella was a little water bug, then Elijah came along!  This kid just adores the water!

Our happy little man!

Swinging at the park with Daddy:)

Baby giggles are my favorite!

Playing with Grandpa!

Breakfast time!

Getting ready to walk!  He's so strong, and he so badly wants to walk.  He can move when holding onto something, and I'm sure it won't be long until he's motoring around!

We love you so much Elijah!  We are so happy and thankful that God chose us to be your family!  Here's to the past 8 months and many many exciting years to come.  Hugs and Kisses!
