William is 8-months-old today!
- He has pretty much gotten over his first illness (he's been sick for the last few weeks - snotty nose, cough, fever)
- he rolls around & spins all over the floor
- attempts to clap his hands by slapping the top of one hand with the other while raising his arms up & down (does that make sense?)
- plays peek-a-boo & anticipates where I'll pop up (sometimes he finds me before I can 'surprise' him - he's such a smart boy)
- pulls himself onto my lap while I'm on the floor
- turns his head faster than I can wipe his snotty nose
- sucks air in to talk, so he sounds like his lungs are going to collapse
- loves splashing in the water (he soaks everything! he doesn't care if the water splashes right in his face either (& I mean a big splash), he just keeps on going w/o batting an eye)
- leans over while in the sitting position to rest his head on my leg while playing with his toy
- loves strangers
- LOVES dogs
- sticks his tongue out a lot & pants
- laughs when I kiss & blow raspberries on his neck
- has 4 teeth
- says "mama" & "dada" even though he doesn't know what they mean
- snuggles with me while we nap in my bed (this is a new favorite of mine, though he usually naps in his crib)
- holds up his arms when he sees me coming to pick him up
- weighs about 17 lb 12 oz
- calms down or smiles when I sing to him (a huge bonus for me since I've always been scared to sing in front of others - he's the only person I'll really sing in front of b/c he won't judge me, at least not yet)
I could go on & on - my little guy is such a sweetheart. I love him so much & realize how blessed I am to have him - he's my miracle baby.

8 months old, I can't believe it Will is getting so big. I love this stage that he is in, they are so fun and playful.
i can't believe it!! it seems like just yday we were doing your maternity pics!! he is such a sweetheart & pretty much the cutest boy ever!!
I can't believe that he is already eight months. He is getting so big. I want to see him again so bad. I can't believe that he does all those things. He has grown up so much since the last time I have seen him
Isn't it wonderful to see the changes he is making? Sounds like he is one happy boy. He looks so sweet. I hope we can see you guys soon! 8 months is a fun age! Take care and we miss you guys!!!
