8 Months (a little late)

(poor bear doesn't stand a chance anymore)

I've been meaning to post these pictures for a while now but somehow life got in the way. Funny how that happens! :)

Cole turned 8 months on 8/13. This past month has been crazy with developments and changes... all on his end:
He's crawling on all fours and can really motor
He loves to pull himself up whenever he gets the chance
Has four teeth - two on top and two on the bottom
He's rediscovered his voice as well as this growling sound... very funny
He's still wearing size four diapers
Is rocking 18 month/2T clothes (mostly)
Eats three meals a day (baby food) and then 4 bottles - I'm trying to start more solid foods but my fear of him choking takes over... this kid is going to eat purees until he's 18!
Goes to bed around 7:30pm and sleeps straight until around 6:30am
Typically takes two naps a day - one long in the morning and a shorter one in the afternoon
Loves to make noise - banging toys on other toys, shaking rattles, you name it
Is a thrill seeker - likes to get tossed around in the air, go upside down, twirl... I'm nervous
Loves to wrestle but also loves to cuddle - when it gets close to bed time he wants to snuggle up and does NOT like being put down
Loves dogs - has zero fear around them
Has a few girls' eyes at daycare - every morning I'm greeted with joyous cries of "baby Cole!"
Loves water but is not a fan of the waves at the lake
Knows what he wants and will get it - you can try to hide it, but up a barrier - doesn't matter, he'll get it
Thinks he's bigger than he is... at least that what daycare says every time we have to sign an incident report for him taking a tumble

And now for some pictures - enjoy!
