Matthew is 8 Months

What a big boy!


You are sitting up on your own AND you are army crawling!  Sometimes you will get on all fours and rock back and forth, then drop and roll or scoot. 


You still have no teeth.
You are eating more varities of baby food and seem to enjoy it.
And when you got to grandma's, you get rice pooridge that you eat up!
You have finished all the breast milk that we had in the freezer so you are strictly on formula.
The best part is that you are holding your own bottle now!!!!


You have a new babysitter. Mrs. Melanie returned to work and now Mrs. Melinda (and her daughter Ashley) comes in and watches you while mommy works.  You love playing with Ashley and don't want to nap until she goes off to school. 


You love "reading" your picture books. 
You have started watching baby einstein.  I can't wait until you can really start learning and soaking up everything around you!


You said your first word....Da-da! Mommy will continue to work with you to say ma-ma.  And I continue to speak Vietnamese to you so you can become familiar with it.


You are such a good baby! 
Our lives have been filled with indescribable joy the past 8 months!
I can't wait to see how much more I can possibly love you!


You make us smile EVERY DAY!


It has been AMAZING to see how much you have grown.

I refuse to believe he's already 8 months old! I love the last picture collage of his monthly pics lined up. It really shows the changes he's undergone physically. He's really becoming quite the handsome little man. I'm so happy for you. :)

Just Adore him! The expressions on that boy, they crack me up! Can't believe he's been out of your belly nearly as long as he was in it. Wow! So great you have the picture collage of him growing, neat when they are side by side.

He doesn't even look like the same baby. It is amazing how quickly they grow and change. He is such an adorable little man. Seriously. You have one of the cutest baby boys I have ever seen. I look at these blog posts and think, "He was totally worth everything." I am so glad he's in your life.
