At eight months Joshua:
*is very wiggly (hence the terrible picture. It was impossible to get a good picture of him this month)
* does not crawl yet (and I am NOT complaining)
* has four teeth (two top, two bottom)
* loves black beans, avocado, wheat bread...anything he can put in his mouth by himself
* babbles, "da, da, da" and is working on "ma ma ma"...heavenly
* went through a spell of waking up two, sometimes three times a night. AHHHH! For the last three nights he has been an angel though. Thank the heavens.
* gets kissed 10,000 times a day by his mommy and especially his big sister
Audrey at eight months:
Audrey at 3 years, 3 months
At this age, Audrey:
*says "gong" for "gone". "It's all gong Mom." I love it.
* she "promises" everything. When I tell her she needs to wear a coat outside because it is cold, she says, "No, I won't get cold, I promise."
* She can match her upper case letters with the lower case letters.
* We do preschool a few days a week, but she likes to call it high school. "Can we do high school mom?"
* She hates it when my hair is in a pony tail (which it is 99% of the time). She always says, "Take it out!! Take your pony out! I like it down."
* We were cuddling one day and her head was buried in my neck and she said, "It's dark in here."
* We were talking to some friends through our window and one of them said they would feel guiltly about something and Audrey asked, "Hey Linden, why you feel creepy?"
* She says "wool" for "will". I say, "Audrey, please listen to your mom," and she says, "Mom, I wool!"
* We were dropping off Addi, Max and Jack and as we were driving away Audrey looked at them through her window and said, "And they lived happily ever after."
