8 months old today :)

I'm eight months old today. The nurses at the doctors office gush all over me every time I'm there, pretty cool, right? Anyway, Mommy took me to the clinic to have my height & weight checked
29 inches (no change from last month, at least I'm not shrinking!)
23 pounds & 8 ounces (gain 4 ounces since last month)

Looks like I will be in my carrier for a little while longer because I'm not 25 pounds yet and Mommy has been reluctant to graduate me to a normal carseat... not sure why, but it might be due to the fact that there are so many to choose from and she just can't seem to make up her mind!

Maybe learning to scream wasn't such a cool thing after all. I'm not sure when I started screaming as a form of fun communication, but today that's all I have been doing since I woke up and I think it is starting to concern Mommy. (She took the day off to take Jessie to the vet and just hang out with me.)

The mechanics of crawling

Some day I'm going to figure out how to make everything work together, but for now I'm having fun rocking back and forth on my hands and knees!

Some day, though ... just you wait!

My 2nd long trip

Mommy and I went to Wisconsin to attend the Memorial for Great Grandma Waterman. I got to spend some time with Aunt Roxie, Great Aunt Georgia, Great Uncle Ray & Great Aunt Pauline and I met so many other family members! I was excited to see everyone, but tried to be really quiet because we were in church... (Mommy said that she was very proud me.)

I got to stay with Grandma Pat & Grandpa Jim and I had SO much fun because Grandpa and I watched the races Sunday afternoon!

I can't wait until the next time I get to visit them!!! I love them both very much
