8 months

Carlos, you are 8 months old!

We are loving this age.

You keep us on our toes always

(because you are chasing after us all the time!)

 Notice your shirt?

 I wanted to leave it on for 2 reasons:

1.)because everybody reports for spring training tomorrow

2.)to remember you just as you are...always

drooling and dirty!

Also, some people out there may notice that your bed looks weird.

This is why...

 You pull up on everything these days!

We didn't want you jumping ship just yet.

 JJ likes to tease you because you NEVER sit still,

and when somebody holds you, you bounce yourself up and down.

This month we tried some solids...

So far, you haven't been impressed.

But ice cream...

You love ice cream!

For some reason, half way through this month, you decided not to nurse any more.

I'm still not exactly sure what happened, but we're both learning to live with it.

Most would consider 7.5 mo without formula quite and accomplishment, even if I figured we'd make it longer.

We are guessing you weigh about 19 lb.

You are 28 in.

You wear size 3 diapers, 6-9 mo clothes

and never wear shoes because we can't find the right fit.

(You'll learn eventually that shoes are highly over rated)

You are very nosey...

this is how you like to ride around Target

 Speaking of Target,

Daddy finds this hilarious...

I'm not a big germ-a-phobe,

but I draw the line at licking the buggy.

YOU ARE DETERMINED TO LICK EVERY BUGGY YOU RIDE IN!

You have the uncanny ability to find and chew every gross thing known to man.

And, when I try to intervene IT IS ON!

Daddy laughs at us always.

This month you had your first Valentines day,

you loved your balloon.

(and I didn't take a picture of it...bad mommy)

Well, another month is gone.

We love you so much.

You keep us smiling and thankful!
