8 Months Old

Can you spot his two little teeth?

Mattis Mark Vincent Romer...

HOLY COW, You're 8 months old as of yesterday...almost 1!

You are my hunk of pure rolls and goodness.

Your thigh rolls are to. die. for.

This month...

*You started eating table foods. You're not too picky about what we give you, but if you don't like it, you will shut your mouth so tight, and won't let us get a spoon in it. Sometimes you even shake your head no at us!

*You have such a stubborn personality already! We can see it with the way you act when we give you foods you don't like or you're in a place you don't want to be! You will violently shake your head "no" at us, arch your back, and wail!

*You have TWO little teeth that popped up on the bottom of your gummy smile.

*Just a few days ago, you started clapping along with mama! It's the most adorable thing ever, and you do it ALL the time now!

*You like it when we stand you up and prop you up against the couch.

*You're still not crawling, but every once in a while, when you're on your tummy, we see you try.

*You've become a TEENY TINY bit less of a mama's boy, and have grown a bond with daddy. I think the fact he was home for almost a month straight with you might have helped.

*Your sister is still one of your favorite people, and sometimes, she's the only one that can make you laugh!

You put so much joy in our hearts every day!

We love you...especially this mama...
