8 months goes by so fast. The first few months felt like forever. I have decided that now is the most fun age. Jett is only slightly mobile but he is learning so much. He hits his arm against his mouth to make the bababa noise. Then he makes the motorcycle noises with his mouth. So cute.
This last week we got our first tooth (finally) and are officially starting to crawl. He has been scooting backwards for a while, but this morning he took his first movements in a forward direction. He is starting to feel like a really big boy and no longer a baby. His Mohawk is growing in too! The only downside is that this week he has been really clingy. I call him my little leech. He bawls the second I put him down. He doesn't want me, he just wants SOMEONE to hold him. Its been fun!
This was his tooth on his 8 month birthday. The white is just starting to show up.
How dare I put him down for one second. How do you say no to that face?
This was his first forward motion this morning. He was trying to grab my camera. Love it!
Not much else is new in our house. Just a constant struggle to keep it clean and organized and find every poopy diaper a home. I have been thinking a lot about working and what kinds of jobs are worth taking or how many hours I want to work. Its such a fine balance between getting something done for yourself, spending time with your family, and feeling like you can be successful at both. I don't want to feel like every aspect of my life only ever gets 50%. You always wish you could spend more time wherever you are NOT. Does that make sense? Decisions. I still want to feel like I have time that is not SCHEDULED.
Another day in the life of a stay at home mom.
Melia thought Jett was her baby and kept trying to hold him. He wasn't sure how he felt about that!
