8 Months Old

My little Brennan is 8 months old. I can't believe how fast time is flying! Pretty soon I'll be planning his 1st birthday party. I don't even want to think about that!

Brennan is rolling all over the place to get to where he wants to be. He's trying so hard to crawl, but he's just doesn't get that you have to lift your belly up off of the floor. He kicks his legs like crazy, but with the belly on the floor...well, he doesn't move. It's pretty cute watching him.

He's got 2 teeth so far, and is working on the top ones. His temperament has gotten a little better. Just a little. At least now I can put him down on the floor and he will play for a little while without crying. But, God forbid I leave his sight...the tears flow!

We won't have a doctor's appointment until 9 months, so I'll update his weight at that time.

He's eating very well. He loves his solid foods. He's still on stage 2, but that's just because I have a ton left. As soon as they are gone, we are moving to stage 3...where I think he'll be much more satisfied. He's holding his own bottle and it's so cute!

We've been doing some simple signing with him for a couple months now, and he understands what we are doing, but I haven't seen him sign back yet. We do the milk sign and he opens his mouth very wide for a bottle. Can you say ADORABLE!?!

He just loves his big brother Colin. When we can't get Brennan to calm down, Colin will walk over and make a silly face at him, and all of a sudden Brennan is laughing.
