8th Month of Life

I can't believe Jayden turns 8 months old on Sept. 4! He is growing up so fast. He is sitting up really well now, playing and figuring toys out on his own. He is feeding himself with his hands much better now (eating puffs for the first time)...even though sometimes he fits his entire fist in his mouth :) He loves to stand and is even taking steps when we guide him. He still hates to lay on his tummy, although I did find him rolled on his stomach when I got him up from a nap this month! He spent the night at mom's for the first time when Joe and I went to DC for the Restoring Honor Rally. That was tough leaving him overnight but I knew he was in good hands! He also is saying mamamama and actually said da da once, although we know he doesn't know what he is saying! He's probably around 24 lbs and has such a wonderful tempermant. He is such an easy going baby but is very intent when he's studying or learning something. He takes great naps - 5 a day - and sleeps great at night - 7pm to 7:30am! We love him and couldn't have been blessed with a better child!
