Rhett is 8 months old!

What? I'm already 8 months old?!

This little brown eyed baby boy has stolen our hearts!  He has cheered up this month and just seems happier.  He is passing out many more smiles! :) And what an ADORABLE smile he has!

Rhett changed in many ways from 7-8 months.  Ready or not, he is now officially mobile!  He gets up on all fours and rocks, but when he moves he is dragging himself with his arms.  He focuses on what he wants and can get there quickly!  Reid and Georgia Kate aren't quite sure what to think about it!  They have both been very sweet and patient with him when he gets their toys, but I'm sure it's just a matter of time before that patience runs out. ;)  His separation issues are improving, but we still have a ways to go in that area.  Rhett really likes books (looking at them and eating them).  He likes "You are my Cupcake", "Big Red Barn", and "Brown Bear Brown Bear".  He also enjoys being in the pool and he absolutely LOVES his brother and sister.  He spends most of his time in the car laughing at them.

Rhett is transitioning to table food since he wasn't really a fan of purees.  The "cheerio phase" makes things so much easier, so I'm happy that we are there!  He usually eats some kind of finger food at dinner (usually a combo of cheerios, frozen peas, tiny banana pieces, blueberry halves, soft peaches/apples, or watermelon) and then a yogurt and prunes mixture and cheerios for breakfast.  He likes to hold his own bottle at bedtime.  Such a big boy!  We are also transitioning to 2 naps a day.  I try to make sure we are home so that he can get in those two good naps, but it doesn't always happen, so sometimes he still needs a quick late afternoon nap too.    He is still nowhere near sleeping through the night, but that's okay.  I know when that day comes I will miss those middle of the night snuggles.  In the meantime, I'll just be very tired. :) Our big boy is wearing size 3 diapers and 12 month clothes.  

Rhett, you make us so happy!  We love you SO much!
