8 months old!
playing with the blanket
Sharing half birthday with his cousins
Loves to stick his tongue out
Chillin' after breakfast
Ready for some food!
Wow. I can't believe time's gone by so quickly! CJ is growing from the once tiny, pirate-eyed baby that I could hold in my arms while fast asleep to an active, babbling little boy. He no longer lays still in my arms, but is always wiggling around trying to absorb everything he can from the world. I love to watch him play on the floor with his toys. He hasn't learned to crawl just yet, but that doesn't stop him from getting places. He often rolls or scoots to where he wants to go. He is saying 'dada' and seems to associate that with Joe. He also says 'baba.' We are working hard on 'mama' as that of course is most important! ;) He gets the lip movement right but can't figure out the mmm sound yet. A work in progress! I can't believe how fast he's growing. He's developing a personality, as well as a temper! He is not afraid to pitch a fit when he doesn't get what he wants. Haha. He is enamored with Ollie, one of our cats. They are best buddies. Clark is learning the limits of what he can get away with and what he can't, especially when it comes to petting/pulling Ollie. He loves to eat! Can't get enough of the fruits.. not so much the veggies. Every time I look at him I just am in awe. How such a little guy can change our life. He loves to play in his crib, talking to all his friends hehe We have this crazy connection. I usually wake up once a night (he's sleeping through the night!) and it's like he knows I'm up. And then he will wake up and I'll just fall asleep to him babbling and playing with his pacifier. He clinks it against the bars like he's an inmate! It's the funniest thing. His face lights up when Joe goes in in the morning to get him, and then immediately starts freaking out when he sees the bottle I'm making for him. I love him more than I ever could imagine. I used to wish when he was younger and waking up so often, that I could have my previous life back where I could sleep all day and never have to worry about anything. Now, that wish has faded. And I wish for new things. I can't wait until CJ starts crawling and walking and talking! I'm sure I'll look back and bite my tongue, but that just seems so awesome to me! Witnessing him figuring out how to crawl, cruising around and then walking. I want us to have a yard for him to play in. We have been looking at some houses, just wish PR wasn't so expensive! But it's where we want to stay; it's close to both parents and friends. We found a nice house within walking distance to the park, the swimming pool, the community center, and my previous job, the school. It has a nice backyard, 4 bedrooms! a basement. Who knows if we will go any further with that one, but worth looking at. We are looking forward to CJ having his cousin be born, so he will have someone to play with (and share some of the spotlight with...) We plan on having more kids some day. Not sure what He has planned for us yet. We are just living life and loving every minute of it.
