8 Months Old

Connor just turned 8 months old. He's about 19-20 lbs. (not exactly sure because no dr. appointment this month). He's growing so fast, I can't believe that his first birthday is just around the corner.
He has learned lots of new things this month.
-He hasn't figured out how to crawl, but he LOVES to stand up holding on to things, and walk along furniture and push-toys.
-He also has learned to put up finger foods by himself and put them into his mouth.
-He just got his bottom 2 teeth last month, and loves to bite. Not that he's trying to hurt or anything, but just realizes that he can.
-He loves to give kisses and zurburts (aka rasberries).
-He now knows that if he puts his arms out, someone will pick him up, and he will even turn away from someone who wants to pick him up but he doesn't want.
-He's got MAJOR stranger anxiety. Besides family, he lets someone hold him for about 5 to 10 seconds before SCREAMING!
-He got a major cold this month, and no longer sleeps through the night. Now he's up about 2-4 times (hopefully that'll pass)
-Still loves babyfood. Sweet Potatoes, zucchini, broccoli & fresh peaches are currently his favorites.
-He LOVES to brush his teeth (see video at the end)
That's about it for now. By the way, every month I come up with a theme/holiday for his pictures... but there wasn't much this month, so I just did "Back to School", hence the backpack pics :-)




so done with taking pictures :-)
