MJ is 8 months today, although he looks and acts like a 1 year old. We are continually amazed that MJ is so different from PJ and yet they are so similar too. They are both so active, yet PJ is our little thinker and MJ seems to be happy without much reason. They both know what they want and can be quite demanding. PJ is ok to wait as long as he can see the process making him wait and you talk to him. Once MJ speaks up there is not much that can be done until he gets what he wants. As Ry and I listen to PJ, we try to picture what MJ is going to say and how he will sound, then we remind ourselves not to rush things, as time is flying by. MJ is 8 months old!
MJ's highlights this past month:
- Crawling for over a month, and now at a speed that is definitely faster than we continue to expect
- Pulling himself up on any and all furniture that will support his weight
- Very good using his thumb and index finger to pinch things, especially if it gets food to his mouth
- Totally over puree food. Prefers whatever we are eating and especially when he can put his own bites in his mouth
- Major babbling. He hasn't said any words yet, but lots of happy sounds
- Last night pushed his toy car while walking sideways
- Wearing 12 months clothes
- Puts EVERYTHING in his month, but still no teeth
