Playdate with friends

 We are missing our Wake Forest friends a ton so today we made the 30 minute drive to see some of them! You and Miss Laney sure have grown a ton since the last time yall saw each other. It is amazing that you two are both big for your age but you still edged her by a few, which probably has nothing to do with the fact that you are 8 days older ha!

 Judson sure is a big boy now too and almost 1! He was so sweet to share his music table with you

 His sister Ella Claire liked chatting with you too... she is Miss Personality for sure!

Pulling up

Tonight you pulled up all by yourself on Daddy's legs... and I just so happened to capture all those rolls too :)

Just a swingin!

We went to the Duke Park for the first time today and your favorite part was the swings!

big boy clothes

Did you know your brother was wearing these clothes this time last year in our family photos at 18 months old??? Yes you are a BIG BOY!

Snapshot

Mr. Tony captured this snapshot of you tonight at the softball game... my sweet boy!

8 months old!

Oh son... these monthly photos of you and Sojo are getting harder and harder! I couldnt get you to sit still this time for anything so I did the best I could to snap your picture.

With that being said it is obvious that this month got you MOVING! You are now crawling all over the place, looking for toys or anything to stick in your mouth and more importantly into anything Griffin has. Every time we eat he says, "Mommy, he is coming after my food!" And that you are ha! You are eating 3 meals a day and snacking on more table food especially bread. You are in size 12 month clothes, size 4 diapers, still have 2 teeth and are drooling constantly.

It is a lot to ask you to sit still for say...2 seconds!

And you are crawling, pulling up and finding a way to get anywhere you want. We have recently caught you standing up in your crib and have had to lower it.

I wish I knew how much you weighed but our scale is packed up. You are working out in the Johnny Jumper daily so you are bound to be losing some of that chunk someway!

Sleep is a major issue for you still unfortunately. You are too busy during the day to settle down for a nap longer than about 45 minutes and at night are still getting up at least once a night (and normally MORE!) It is difficult for your Mommy to survive with little sleep but I'm praying that you will learn to love it soon!

You have started wanting to be rocked to sleep so I'm enjoying that time. I always talk about how big you are getting and then I have moments like this when you just want to sleep in your Mommy's arms and I realize I need to be savoring these sweet moments!

You are growing so fast! Love you little one

Riding in style

You two rode in style tonight at BJs while grocery shopping.
