Jeremiah 8 Months Old

Our littlest guy is 8 months old already.  

Showing off a silly face.  

He is our littlest baby but he is a big boy.  We don't have stats and percentiles this month since there isn't a well visit at 8 months.  But we can tell you he is steady in the 18 to 24 month clothing size (pictured is 24 month) and doesn't seem to be slowing down anytime soon.  Austin calls him "sturdy."

'Miah likes to have a toy in his hands most the time.  Tigger is a favorite, but it really can be any toy.  

He does very well at seeing items and reaching toward them, then grabbing and bringing that item back to him.  This is frustrating when you don't want him to get something, but a good sign he is progressing along well.  

Thankfully he has remained a calm, chill baby and enjoys being around his family as his main source of entertainment.  

Jere now has two teeth, the second tooth on the bottom came in on his 8 month birthday.  He also is eating his squash like a champ.  He will down a full jar easily in one setting.  We are still working on other veggies.  He will eat them, but it is work instead of him wanting to eat.  We started with squash and it took almost two weeks of trying before he loved that flavor.  It is fun to feed a child who actually is able to and enjoys eating.  

Jeremiah is able to get around by pulling himself and sliding as Austin caught in the video above.  This was the first time he was able to move like this.  

Then today, Sunday June 23rd he actually got up on all fours and officially crawled a little.  He will be fully mobile and all around the house in no time.  The video is from just after he crawled, he got up on all fours but didn't crawl while we were filming him.  

Jeremiah sucking on a frozen teething raspberry.  It was more to try to keep him cool in the Georgia summer with no AC then for teething.  He is sweating in the photo.  Miah has been drooling like a fool, which could indicate more teeth coming in the near future.  

Happy 8 month birthday littlest!
