youre 8 months old now (tech youre nearly 9 months old, mamas a little late this month)
and boy youre busy. youre not mobile quite yet, but youre getting there. i mean busy doing things. play dates and outings. youre such an outdoors baby. you love grass, water and sand. you sit like a professional and youre working on crawling. for now, you rock back and forth to get you places. but everyday youre that much closer.
some new foods youre enjoying are cottage cheese and some solids. youve tried chunks of blueberries and bread with jam. you also love these little puffs we buy you.
we took you to your first zoo, and you had a blast. youre fav part of the whole zoo was the water feature they had. you were ready to leap from my arms and dive into the pond. silly boy.
you being so interested in the water got me thinking that i should get you your own pool. so thats what i did. you love it! i think you would splash all day if i let you.
(testing it without water)
(again, with water on our balcony)
this month i took you to our downtown lake and you loved being there. youre a people watcher so you enjoyed seeing everyone. you went on the swings and met a new friend. everywhere you go you seem to make new friends. youre quite the social butterfly.
because you loved it so much, ive taken you a handful of times. we've even gone stroller blading. which is really fun for mama :)
with the weather being so nice, i take you on picnics and walks and we roll around in the dirt. you laugh and we play silly games and sing songs. youre a lot of fun. i never get bored with you around baby boy.
you still love meeting new people and you love the ladies. especially blondes. you stare at all the pretty ladies and flirt with them. which of course they love every min of and soak up every sec spent with you.
everywhere we go, strangers constantly flock to me and comment on how adorable and gorgeous you are. it still shocks me. BUT honestly, you are really that cute! its so bad i have to plan sometimes to leave an extra 30 min before needing to arrive somewhere because i know we'll be stopped multiple times by strangers.
i mean look at your face. its beyond perfect.
you have the tiniest cutest button nose ive ever seen on a baby. your smile is breathtaking with your toothy gums. your eyes are so pretty they mirror a gorgeous blue ocean. ahhh! youre just so adorable, i cant get over it.
you seriously are the brad pitt of babies!
well my son, i love you more than words can express and each day my love doubles for you. you make me laugh and smile daily. and because of you i do crazy strange things that only other mamas would understand. like belting out you are my sunshine while pumping gas just to hear you giggle. or i prance around in high heels kicking my feet just to watch you fall over from laughing so hard.
please dont ever change. youre a shining star and the world is a better place to be in because youre here with us.
you amaze me boy and life is 100x better now that your here.
i love you colin.
xx
mama
