8 Months

Today my little guy is 8 months old. I am not sure I believe it yet but he certainly is starting to look more like a toddler than a chubby baby. Since it is beautiful outside and Jojo loves the outdoors, we took our pictures out on our little patio in the backyard. It did take some time to get him to not crawl off the mat into the dirt/weeds.

8 Months:

Crawling (he puts his feet flat on the ground instead of using his knees)

Pulling up on everything he can (including Mommy and Daddy)

Attempting to walk

Eating everything in sight

Assists us with his feeding (guides our hands to his mouth)

Tries to feed himself (he hasn't figured out how to let go of the food once he has it in his mouth)

Has 2 teeth

Adores chicken (nuggets, strips, baked - whatever kind Mommy is eating)

Insists on trying whatever Mommy and Daddy are eating

Shrieks to make his point when angry

Loves playing with Daddy now

Enjoys swimming at the pool

Still gets up at least once a night

Figured out how to turn on his mobile

In addition to all this, Jojo is getting smarter. He actually called my mother on the phone one day. I let him play with my cellphone, figuring since the keypad locked he wouldn't be able to do much. Yeah... my warning about his technical prowess was the phone ringing. He'd managed to put it on speakerphone too. So now Jojo is not allowed to play with my phone.
