Happy 8 months big boy!

My sweet little baby is growing up so quickly and this first year is just flying by.  I don't even know where to begin with this little guy- he has just totally captured my heart and I could just squeeze him all day long if I had the time! He has the sweetest personality and is just so funny.  He is a cuddler, a curious little booger, and a determined, persistant boy.  I absolutely adore him.

So...8 months old...what does that mean he is doing now....
He is pulling up on everything around! He will NOT sit still anymore. He constantly crawls to the couch or table and pulls up.  I laughed at him today as he crawled over to Grafton and pulled up on her! He can walk along the table holding on and can take steps behind his push toys.  If he isn't standing up then he is crawling all over the place.  He is so curious which means he is into EVERYTHING.  Nothing is safe anymore. He bothers stuff that Grafton never even dreamed of messing with! He loves to eat and wants to taste everything we are eating.  He isn't too interested in baby food...he wants the real thing! He eats pieces of bread, pasta, crackers, and potato. 

James loves to make funny faces and laughs all the time. For the past few weeks he has been into the scrunched up face and snorting routine. It cracks me up! He gets really excited and wrinkles up that nose and snorts, snorts, snorts! Ha Ha! He likes to give big, open-mouthed kisses and loves to be loved on.  In fact, the nursery workers at church told me that they spoil him rotten by loving on him the whole time he is in there! They always tell us he is their favorite, and I recently found out that James gets jealous when they pick up another baby! Apparently he fusses till they put the child down and pick him up instead.  That cracks me up because he sure doesn't do that at home- he is just spoiled there and loves it!!!  Such a sweetie.
