8 Months!!!

As of Monday, Daniel is eight months old. time has flown and I suspect it will only get faster. Daniel continues to be my snugly baby and is full of smiles. He loves to talk and kick his feet. Daniel has been rolling around the floor for a while now and has added to his repertoire belly crawling. He stretches one arm as far as it will go and pushes off with his legs, this often results with his bum in the air. then he reaches out with the other arm, stretches, and pushes off with his feet. I often come back into a room and have to look around too figure out where he is.  It especially fun to watch him spot something across the room that he wants and  very determinedly wiggle across the room to get to it. He will also do a "double arm pull' by putting his forearms in front of him and then pulling them towards his chest. Thus my children demonstrate once again their preferences for creative crawling.

Daniel also likes to twist and roll his tongue. Perhaps I find it so interesting because I cannot do anything at all  with my tongue.It baffles me how he does it.


Daniel also loves the tent we have set up in our living room. He will crawl inside and kick at the walls making those wonderful 'swish swish swish' sounds. He will roll and turn himself around so he can look out and keep an eye on everyone from inside his little space. Then to change things up he will get out and wrestle with the tent. He usually does this with his bottom half underneath, legs kicking, while trying to subdue to tent to his will with his arms. It's very cute and will keep him entertained for a long time.

Daniel also has a love for playing with the dishes. Why playing with plates and bowls is such exciting fun is only known to Daniel, but we get a lot of mileage out of the game.

Daniel also loves his bath, he gets very excited whenever I start the water.

He loves to be a part of things, especially if that means giving Liza a hard time. Hanging out with Daddy is fun, but usually mom is better. In short we love our little guy and are grateful to have him.
