JJ's 8 months!

*He's signing milk
*turns out I may have the only baby in the world that prefers gerber food over "homemade" baby food...I've tried everything and he always gags after a few bites...but give him some gerber and he's over the moon. (first picture is from some homemade chicken noodle soup...he was done after 3 bites)
*he sits up pretty well but we still like to put pillows behind him just in case
*he's starting to get up on his knees...but his chest is always one the floor when he does it.
*he's talking a lot more...sometimes he sucks his thumb, but only sideways.
*when he rubs his eyes it's the cutest thing I've ever seen
*he's starting to arch his back and throw fits...so turns out boys throw fits just like girls do, it's mostly when you take something away that he really wants...usually the remote or paper that he's trying to eat.
*he loves it when Elle slaps him around...sounds weird, but she's the only one that gets away with it slash, the only one that actually slaps him in the face...she will literally slap his cheeks around and he just laughs and laughs. must be a brother sister thing I don't get.

JJ lights up all of our lives, I can't believe he's 8 months already...I wish he was little still, of course little for JJ was about 10lbs ago and then he was still huge...but I can't believe how quickly it is all going by. I already miss him but I'm trying really hard to live in the moment day by day.
