8 months!

Blake turned 8 months yesterday. He is army crawling all over the place, loving the fact that he can get himself into a sitting position all by himself, he is already getting into everything and I know it is only going to get worse. He loves eating food and gets mad when he has a bottle and Mylie has food. He still sleeps all night, about 13 hours usually and takes 2-3 naps a day. He still likes to be swaddled up like a burrito while he sleeps, but his little toes stick out the end because he is getting so long. He is so ticklish, his thighs and neck especially. He loves to play peek-a-boo and is learning how to clap. He loves Alicia's dogs and snuggles right up to them and pets them ... (Alicia, you have got to get a picture for me!) He is a very happy baby and is only fussy if something is wrong. As long as there is food in his belly, he is a happy boy.
He's also a bit of a flirt.
This is his new favorite game. He army crawls at top speed to the entertainment center, then opens and closes the door 3 times ...
... and then turns around and looks at us to make sure we saw.
Other random Blake at 8 months facts: he is obsessed with my necklace, he loves to pull Mylie and my hair, he wears size 4 diapers, he has been out of his carrier car seat for a few months now, he loves to sit in the cart at the grocery store and look around, he still just has 2 teeth, he has thunder thighs (a Ritchie trait), his face breaks out into a smile everytime he sees me and vice versa! He is such a sweet little dude!

Happy eight months Blake. He is soooo cute. Isn't it strange how they could be in our lives for so little of a time, yet hold every bit of our hearts.
