8 Months

Dear June,
     It's that time again to make another post about how much I love you, and how I think you are the best baby ever! 8 months! Each month is going by quicker and quicker! I hate time, but I love watching you grow and discover new things. It's a new thing every day and at this age it's so fun to watch you discover and explore and see your little body so focused on putting a cheerio into your mouth. Love.
     Starting out at your 8 months, you want to touch and feel everything. The house does need to become baby proofed because of your little exploring mind. You love clapping your little hands when ever we get excited for you, and you are constantly rubbing your little feet on the carpet, in the water, and really any surface. You love just moving your feet. Because of that, Diaper changing has literally become a comedy show watching me try to get your diaper changed. One time a whole bum cheek was sticking out, because I put it on so crooked! Oh dear mother...
     You continue to sleep fantastico! You do have, on occasion, nights that you wake up, but you don't cry, you just start talking to yourself, saying Da Da Da Da over and over again. June watching you sleep literally melts my heart. It hurts, because of how much I love you. You still go down at 7 and wake up about 6:30.
     No Teeth yet, but you are teething like a little stinker. They will come when the're ready. We are not in any hurry, just as long as they do come eventually. Dentures at one year old, might be an issue. :)
     We are in the hot summer months of Texas, so you are enjoying splashing in the pool and soaking in the sun. I do admit I love that you have Tan lines around your chubby rolls. Adorable.
     Daddy is more in love than ever with you. Should I be Jealous?! Heck ya! He loved you so much from the moment you met, and it's only getting better. Me? I had to work hard for that love! ha ha it doesn't matter, watching him with you makes it all worth it. You two are going to be best pals. You love dancing with him, and being tossed and flipped around.
     You are a TALKER! Holy smokes you are a little chatter box. You laugh and smile all the time (except when your tired, understandable) and you use those lungs full force. You're going to be just like your mother. Loud and obnoxious!
      You are trying so hard to move. In fact as I am typing this, I am watching you reach for a book that is just a little out of grasp and you are working and concentrating so hard. You're close, VERY close!
     Eating has gone very well. You hate the green crap, but so does your dad, so he feels its ok to not eat it. I think other wise. The fruits and little bits of food we give you though, you suck in like a vacuum!
     Well Ju Ju B, that is all I have to report for this month. I cannot, literally cannot say how much I love you. My heart can't take it, but I will say it anyways. I love you.
You are just so funny!

Love you Juniper,
   Love mom
