We have a 8 month old!

Blake is now 8 months old.

Seriously, where does time go?  Blake is currently… 

wearing 9 month pants and 6 month shirts. 

Eats anything and everything he can pick up. It makes sweeping easy! ;)

 He is still attached at my hip but is getting better all the time.

 Crawling with his arms still. 

Loves to rock back and forth on all fours. Can pull legs along for one or two scoots but gives up and goes back to dragging them. 

One smart little cookie. 

LOVES to knock over towers built out of anything possible.

Obsessed with playing with his diapers. (don't worry, clean ones only) 

Looks at you mischievously before grabbing things new, as if to say "are you going to tell me no mom?"

Sleeping better at night again…finally…some nights. 

Fights taking naps like its no ones business. 

Will stop what ever he is doing if you start calling someone on FaceTime or talk on the phone, only to either smile at his own cute face, or smile at you as if saying "wait you can talk on that?" 

We started teaching him to stand on his own with support and he is getting better all the time. I still don't think he will be walking by 10 months old like his dad. But we shall see. 

Has two teeth, barely, but hey they are there! 

And getting more adorable by the day. 

He got his first modeling gig today. A friend is opening her own online boutique and asked if Blake could model binki clips and bibs! Yes, everyone thinks he is just that adorable. And who couldn't agree. :) Everywhere I go whether its to the store, where they know us quite well, or to the mall. I get "He is such a cute baby" so often! I used to think people were just kindly saying that but I firmly believe they mean it now. :)  

Church ball talk

So tonight at church ball I was talking to a little girl in our ward whose mom is my visiting teacher and Micah used to home teach them. This family is the cutest family with the best behaved kids! And smart too! The conversation goes as follows. 

Me: so E do you have a crush in your primary class? 

E: no all the boys are ANNOYING! 

Me: what about at school 

E: (looks up and thinks) nope. What about you? Do you have a crush at school? 

M: no I don't go to school. Micah's my crush. 

E: ya because you married him. 

M : (laughing) 

E: (gasps) Blake's my crush!  He's so cute. His big eyes! 

M: ya he is pretty cute huh. 

Later while Micah and I were driving home I told Micah about the conversation between E and me.) 

Micah: (laughs) ya that family is obsessed with Blake. When E came ice fishing with us once she was in the tent watchig the camera and she said "Blake is so cute! When I look at his eyes I just melt!" 

Hahahahaha she is like 9 years old. Too bad she isn't a little younger. I would have them do an arranged marriage. :)
