What Have We Done?: Eight months old!

Dear Chuy,

You turned eight months old last week! You've almost been out of my belly as long as you were in it... almost...

I can't believe how quickly you are learning new tricks and how fast you are growing.

You know, every parent we ever chat with always says how fast you baby types grow up... and they're right. It still seems like only yesterday we were setting up your room and getting ready for your arrival, and now I'm already thinking about your 1st birthday party... crazy!

This week, we celebrated our first Valentine's Day together...

Of course, Clover's Mommy and I decided to take the two of you to the mall, dress you up as cupid, and take lots of photos...

So, when you're in high school, and you're being a complete teenager, I'm going to bust out these photos and show all your friends...

Another new trick on your roster? Scooting around on your belly... almost crawling... for now, you can only go backwards or do log rolls to get where you want to go. Last night, you were so frustrated that you couldn't figure out how to go forwards... Don't worry, I know you're going to make it happen and I'm sure it will be soon... guess I need to look into those baby gates after all...

Yesterday, you, me and Daddy went over to the Kerbey Lane and had breakfast for dinner... for Valentine's...

A little fun fact about your Mommy... I LOVE breakfast for dinner - specially when it includes pancakes... you didn't take to the pancakes as much as I thought you would, but you did enjoy watching all the other diners come in and out of the front door...
