Having an 8 month old…

January 11th, 2011 § Leave a Comment

…is a lot like having a puppy.

For example, teething. New teeth mean chewing on everything, including but not limited to: fingers, toys, furniture, and you guessed it! shoes! I also have a hard time keeping him away from the toilet and garbage, and yesterday night I took off his diaper for bath and before I got him into the tub he pooped on my bedroom floor. Kids are a little harder but if you ever find yourself wondering: is parenthood for me? Try a puppy!

I kid, I kid.

Having an 8 month old truly is an adventure. I am the proud mother of a little boy that crawls, stands, claps, high-fives, gives head-noogies, snorts like a piggy, fake laughs, says da-da, no longer takes a pacifier for anything, has 4 teeth with 4 more on the way, and is happy 96% of the time. He’s pretty much the best :)

The holidays were amazing and being in TX with everyone was great. We’re in the home stretch of this deployment and things are looking pretty wonderful for 2011. I hate to be so short but I’ve only got so much time and I’d like to paint my fingernails tonight!

all my love, xoxo
