Ike Man Turns 8 Months

This has been a big month for Ike...he learned to crawl, pull himself up, eat by himself, clap, and got his first tooth.  Life is good!  Since I had a bunch of pictures of Ike doing his favorite things (unlike Dave who shies away from my camera nowadays!), I will make this a picture post...

You can barely see the tooth...bottom right in the picture.

















He loves trying to climb the stairs.  Thankfully he's not very successful yet!











For food, he'll pretty much eat anything.  He does not like waffles or anything super sweet.  But does love eggs and peas...weird kid.

Enjoying his favorite dinner.












Eating blueberries for the first time.










Couple of pictures from his 8 month shoot-

Sitting so nicely in the rocking chair.

Is this the sign you want me to leave alone?

He's getting quite fast.

 He loves to stand and watch the neighborhood at our front door. 

And he squeals whenever it's time to go outside (which is pretty much all day).











As for other things that Ike is fond of, he loves to feel everything and squishes his hand on every surface to see what it's like.  He also loves to touch everyone's face and stick his grimy hands in your mouth.  Kinda wish he'd grow out of that one!  He is learning to cruise around on the furniture and likes the weirdest things for toys.  Some examples:  snappis (used for our cloth diapers to keep them closed), spoons, any chord, and his all time favorite is this hatchet that Dave got with a fireman set. 

Ike still sleeps pretty great and is overall a fun, happy baby.  Even while cutting teeth!  He is developing such a fun personality and I have a feeling will be much like his older brother.

Here's a couple of videos of Ike-Dave making him laugh.  And one of him learning how to wave.
