Little Remykins turned 8 months yesterday and although I INTENDED to do this post yesterday I completely forgot. Even though I evidently had time to post a video! But thats ok because Remy was wearing a cute, new outfit today so I took some pictures and I think he looks just adorable!
He got the shirt (it says "Troublemaker is my middle name") from Matt and Erin. They actually gave it to us when I was about 3 months pregnant because they saw it and knew it would be perfect for ANY child of me and Nic's, whether it turned out to be a boy or a girl. The jeans are DKNY jeans that got passed on from Anna. He is wearing both for the first time and looks so grown up.
Remy's newest tricks/milestones are;
- Talking "Wookie" to daddy (video coming soon, I promise!)
- Trying to flip over from sitting onto his hands and knees - almost like he is trying to get into crawling position. He is not quite there yet and so usually ends up falling on his face.
- He had his first bloody nose this week (see previous item) which I am sure is the first of many since he is ALL boy
- Touching the "touch and feel" books all on his own without me shoving his hand onto the page
I know there are more little things but they don't come to mind right now. He has gotten a lot more interested in trying to get at various things around him. Up until a couple weeks ago he was content to just sit and study things, now he will throw himself at stuff and try to wiggle out of my arms. He still LOVES his excersaucer (as evidenced by previously posted video) and takes his bouncing very seriously. One of my favorite things to do is sit and watch him bounce, his little cheeks jiggling up and down and his hair flopping.
I know it won't be too long until he starts crawling and then walking so I am trying to enjoy him still be mostly immobile, but I think we are BOTH ready for that. If he sits for too long in one place he gets whiny until I tote him around to something new and interesting.
