8 months!



Timothy has changed so much this past month he is practically a new kid. He has 8 teeth and weighs close to one million pounds (seriously even Kirk has a hard time carrying him in his car seat these days). He now says "mama" which is the cutest thing ever. He says it when he wants my attention and if I don't immediately give him my undivided attention he glares and grunts at me until I pick him up, I love it and feel very important.
He is "crawling" and when I say crawling I mean he gets up on all fours, grunts a few times, plops onto his belly, uses his toes and arms to inch forward, then pulls himself up into a sitting position and looks around grinning like a fool. But he is somehow making it from one side of the room to the other. He's the cutest! And now he can finally go from his belly to his back and pull himself into a sitting position. He hates to be left in his car seat in the store and demands to be put in the basket so he can sit up in the cart.
He has really taken to real solid food (he is not a fan of baby food in jars...of course I bought close to 50 months ago, ugh) and will eat anything we are, his favorite being Cheerios.
He LOVES his dad. When Kirk walks into a room Timothy follows him with his eyes and cries if Kirk leaves the room without taking Timothy with him.
He loves when I sing Families Can be Together Forever. He smiles during the entire song and when I sing it to him before bed he sweetly lays his head on my shoulder, it's the best.
He loves to have his head rubbed...he gets this look of serenity on his face whenever we do it.
He loves to make noise and bang things on the floor.
He had his first bloody nose and lip this week, learning to crawl is very painful.  :)
He is still the apple of his sisters eye's and enjoys always being the center of attention. My little baby has turned into a determined, opinionated, and mobile little toddler in a month. He is so much fun and we need to go find a new bigger car seat for our Timonster.
