My Boy at 8 months...

My little guy is 8 months old already...where has the time gone? Only 4 more months until we will be celebrating a first birthday! It seems like just yesterday he was too little to fit in his preemie clothes...now look at how big my 21lbs chunk is!
James is still quite a dare devil...for someone who started crawling at 6mo. he is quite a pro at it...he gets every where far to fast...his new thing is walking behind toys...he pushes any toy with wheels and walks behind! His other thing is climbing...yesterday he stood up on the little stool in the bathroom...and almost fell headfirst into the bathtub...luckily Mommy was right there to grab him!
James still loves to eat...and he has a favorite food...Peaches! When he sees the jar of peaches he kicks his arms and legs and screams out in excitement until I cut some up on his tray! James is pretty much just feeding himself now...I still try to give him mashed up food but he just shakes his head! He prefers to feed himself chunks off the tray by himself...and he makes a terrible mess...but that is what a bath is for, I guess! James does have some quirky little things about his food...every morning I give him Irish Oatmeal with peaches...if I give him Irish Oatmeal with applesauce he clamps his little mouth shut and rapidly shakes his head no! I guess he knows what he wants...
One of James favorite little toys is an xylophone...one day I showed him how to use the sticks to hit the xylophone to make music...and now when he sees the xylophone he picks up a stick and hits it to the toy! A quick learner I think...
A perfect little guy for our family...his sweet little smile, his baby giggles and cuddles...a perfect way to melt your heart...
