Eight Months Old!!

Diego turns eight months old today. It's seems a little crazy to me that he is eight months old as he still seems like a baby. He is starting to do a bit better. He sits in a high chair at restaurants and is eating more. He is improving at night and I have stuck to the two feedins only all week.

He whines mostly but I swear he can say ma ma pretty clearly.

This month has been all about attachment and seperation anxiety. He is hysterical. He usually cries for me and if I even step out of sight he is ballistic, but then he so cries for dad and Grandma. Sometimes he rotates between the three of us when we are all together so we just keep passing him around.

He has gotten into sitting from laying on his belly twice although once was definitely on accident and then he was stuck in the corner of his crib!

He wants to move but he just hasn't figured it out yet. Because the floors are all hardwood he slides backwards only as his only way to move besides in circles on his belly. We were just saying that he wasn't going to crawl anytime soon as he couldn't even get into quadruped on his hands and knees and then today he figured it out! He can only do it on the carpet and bed. He can finally get on his hands and knees! I even got photos to prove it. He tries to crawl from there but falls down every time. He does move forward so it's an improvement. At least he's finally getting moving. He needs to learn to get around on his own so he can stop crying and wanting to be held and moved everywhere. Enjoy the 8 month photos! Happy 8 months to D!

On a side note, Callie got to go pick up her Hello Kitty night light today at the mall. Grandma and Grandpa came and she enjoyed the fountain, throwing pennies. It's a perfect painting, Callie's way with colors everywhere ;) I took the Christmas tree out, hooray and now just go get the Christmas lights down outside tomorrow.
