Precious little boy is 8 months old! Needless to say our love grows every single day as his personality continues to shine.
Everett you are a moving machine. You love to roll over and over and over. You are also crawling, we can't keep you in one place. I can't believe you are big enough to be moving so much on your own! You are also learning to pull yourself up. The first time you did it was in the bathtub, we started putting you in a laundry basket in the tub instead of your infant tub. You love it! I was turning half-way around telling your Dad that we needed to lower your crib because you were so close to pulling yourself up when I turned around and you were pulling yourself up in the tub! So your Dad went right to your room and lowered your crib down. I am loving now that you can crawl over to me and pull up on my legs when you want to be held.
Everett you have developed this new laugh that is like you are trying to cough and laugh at the same time. It cracks me up. Your real laugh comes out when we tickle your thighs, blow on your feet or tummy, or give you kisses on your neck. Its a beautiful sound!
It is official, your first word is most definitely "Mama!" I heard it before but finally you said it in front of other people who no longer think that I am crazy. I am beyond ecstatic that Mama is your first word and now we are working on getting you to say "Dada." No luck yet!
Everett you have 8 teeth! 4 on top and 4 on bottom and I do believe you are the youngest infant ever to have this many teeth!!
You have mastered the "grunt" and it is hilarious!! Your dad is convinced you got that from me, and I agreed until we were sitting in the living room one night and your Dad was working on his homework when the biggest grunt came from him and I immediately switched sides... you definitely get it from him! Along with your looks, you are the spitting image of your Dad and I can a finally admit to seeing it.
Your Dad bought you a walker the other day, he had been dying to get you one for a long time and couldn't hold off until Christmas. Now you are roaming all over the house! You follow me from room to room as best you can during the day. You were a quick learner and are now speeding all over the house, and ramming into things like your in a bumper car. It's a joy to watch you discover new parts of the house on your own!
You are becoming more and more aware of food around you and you are not happy when you can't have any of it! You try your hardest to climb up to the table to reach any and all food.
Everett you had several firsts this month: Visit to the Pumpkin Patch, Riding in your Wagon, Swinging at the Park, Sucking your thumb, Tub bath, Matching outfit with Norah, Football game, and Chocolate Chip Cookie.
Everett we adore you and every single day with you!
