8 Months!!

At 8 months Peanut:

~ weighs about 19.6 lbs

~ is about 30 inches long

~Is starting to understand a lot of words now. He definitely knows "bounce" and "kitty"

~Has discovered he can barrel-roll across the floor to reach his destination (which is usually the most dangerous thing in the room).

~ Understands the signs for "milk" and sometimes "more" but hasn't signed them yet. 

~ Loves to cluck his tongue

~ His favourite foods are the ones he can feed himself

~Shakes his head ''no", and is starting to wave

~Still not crawling, but that's A-OK with me. 

~Has a pretty mean pincer grip, and loves to use it to pick up (and eat) Cheerios. 

~Has just started to figure out how to clap in the last few days. So adorable. 

~Still puts himself to sleep, and still sleeps with his bum in the air. Cutey pie. 

So, a cute little baby development story. Hubby and I frequently call Kitty over by clicking our tongues. Peanut often clucks his tongue and has a lot of fun doing it. But recently, every time he sees Kitty or we call her name, he starts to cluck his tongue. It is sooooooo cute. At first we just thought it was a coincidence, but we have tested it, and he does it even when we say the word "kitty". Yup, it's true. He's pretty much a genius. At least we think so...
