Eight months

"So, staaaaaaaaannnnnnd." - REM

Sitting is passe for Jack. For him, it is just stand and try to stand alone. As soon as you place him on the floor , he will grab you and just pull himself up and stand. If he wanted to and if there was such a thing as all the time in the world, he would probably stand for the whole day. Unless he wants a nap. Napping is few and far between. Yesterday, he spent the whole day with just an hour and a half of naps under his belt. He was too enthralled with his cousin Nathalie to take a nap. He is not crawling, nor does he like being on his tummy too much. Four teeth. Level 2 Gerber baby food. Garden Vegetable anyone! Looks gross but Jack likes it and that is all that counts. Actually one of his new flavors is Pineapple banana and I can't wait to taste that one. Yes, I do taste some of his desserts.No new words yet but my mom claims that today he said "mama" and then went on with some gibberish. hmmmmm....

Bedtime - 8:30 without a doubt, and still sleeps beautifully.

Wakes up - 6 am. On weekends, when he wakes up, we take him to our bed,give him his milk and he drifts off to sleep for another hour and a half. That is our way of getting another hour and half for ourselves too.

next up - Jack has been entered in the casting call for gap baby. Finalists are then voted by the public. My first birthday as a mom. Halloween and fall time for Jack.
