Happy 8 months little man! You are turning in to the cheekiest, happiest and most loving little person i know. The big wide world has suddenly become very exciting and every day is a new adventure full of fun, laughter and discoveries. You are such an alert little boy and you are always taking in everything around you, i sometimes wonder what you think of it all and how mysterious everything must seem to you.
You're still not sitting up, but this is something we're working on and i know you'll get it in your own time so we're not pushing you. You can roll over from front to back as well as back to front quite freely and easily now, although you seem to do it mostly when in your cot which can cause all manner of problems as mummy finds you with arms and legs sticking out everywhere. You are also scooting all over the place these days, mostly on your back which is pretty impressive actually. You seem to push off with your feet, with your back arched and off the ground, like a little fish. It seems to be working for you anyway and i only have to leave the room for a moment and come back to find you somewhere completely different.
You had your first go in a walker this month which you absolutely love, although you're feet don't quite reach the ground so i doubt you'll be walking off anywhere anytime soon but for now you enjoy playing with the knobs and levers and listening to the noises they can make.
You definitely have a special relationship with your big cousin Tia, you two are inseparable when you're together and you never stop smiling and babbling when she's around. She's always giving you cuddles, helping to feed you and helping to change your nappy. She rocks you in your pram when you're crying, gives you your dummy when you've lost it and is always bringing you toys and teddies to play with. I think you two will have many adventures together growing up and i can't wait to see your friendship develop as you both get older.
You are babbling up a storm these days and along with the usual cooing, gagas and googoos, you said you're first word this month 'dada'. If i'm honest i had a brief moment where i felt slightly disappointed that it wasn't 'mama' but to see your daddy's face light up the first time he heard you say it was amazing. It's a massive milestone and we couldn't be more proud of you.
In addition to the babbling, you are drooling and dribbling for England and mummy is pretty sure those teethy pegs are now starting to cut through.I'd be lying if i said you hadn't been a teething monster and at times really tested my patience but i know it's a process we have to go through so mummy tries to grin and bear it as much as possible even with the never ending run of sleepless nights.You're teaching me all the time to be patient, trusting and even more loving in the face of frustration and just when i think i can't take it any longer, you look at me with those big blue eyes, flutter those lashes and my heart just melts.
