8 Months

I haven't looked back so I can't confirm but there's a decent chance I say this every month (and I'm going to say it again): I cannot believe that our sweet boy is 8 months old! In the last month he's finally started rolling back to front (and doing it a LOT), he scoots everywhere (but still not quite crawling), "talking" even more than he already was (and I SWEAR he says "Mama" now!), he will sometimes wave at the appropriate time (when someone is leaving - this could be a fluke but I choose to believe he knows exactly what he's doing), he's reaching for us when he sees us, and has started to show a little bit of stranger anxiety. He's also eating a plethora of new foods.

I think maybe one of the most fun things he does now is watching for one of us to get home from work. He's only done it for me a couple of times because he's usually napping when I get home but we try to watch for Nathan every day. We stand at the front window or sit on the porch if it's nice and wait for the Daddy to come home. When he pulls up in the driveway Milo stares at the car and the second Nathan gets out of the car Milo gets a HUGE smile on his face and gets so excited to see his Daddy! It's probably the sweetest thing I've ever seen and I can say that, having been on the receiving end of it a couple of times, that smile will melt your heart!

He's got two teeth through, two more trying (which is really making for some sleepless nights at our house) but that seems to be just about the only thing that bothers this kid! He's just the happiest, sweetest baby!

Here are a few pictures from today's "photo shoot".
