For Jericho

For my love bug. You are 8 months old now, I can't believe it! I've enjoyed every moment that I am with you. I love watching you change and grow. I haven't done a very good job of keeping up with your baby book (I'm hoping to get to in in the next few week......haha I've been saying that for 8 months now!) I wanted to share of few things that you are doing right now because I know that you are going to be changing so much in the next few months.

• You have 6 teeth with 1 (maybe 2, I can't tell) on the way.
• There is a little bit of a space between your 2 front teeth and your bottom two are a little crooked and it's the cutest thing ever!
  
• You always try to play with my eyelashes especially when I have mascara on which always makes me laugh!
• You adore you daddy!
  
• You don't hate you baby cereal any more but you don't love it either.
• You're not crawling or scooting and it doesn't seem to both you at all (Take your time my life is going to get a lot crazier once you start.)
• You still don't like you being on your belly.
• You've been able to sit up for a few months now and that's all you want to do. Unless someone is around then....
  
• You love holding onto someones hands so that you can stand. If I give you my hands you automatically pull yourself up and have no desire to sit.
• You're still not a good napper but you sleep great at night! Thanks : )
• It melts my heart when you suck your thumb, which you only do when you're falling asleep.
• You love your blue blankie and get so excited when I cover you with it before naps and bed.
  
• I love watching you play with your toys because you are so serious.
• I love it even more when you catch me watching you and give me a HUGE smile!
• You have the biggest bluest eyes that I've ever seen and when you look into peoples eyes I'm convinced that you can see into their soul. They amaze me.
• Your legs hardly ever stop moving when someone is holding you.
  
• It's cute how excited (or sometimes mad) you get when you know I am going to nurse you.
• You recognize (and love) your Aunt Tori and I love that because she is mommy's best friend (not counting daddy of course).
• It melts my heart how excited you get when daddy gets home, I love watching you two together.
• You've recently decided that you could wave, I think you could before you just wouldn't (there are a few things that you've done this with) It's cute how you wave to anyone coming or going.
• You have the best most kissable cheeks ever!
• You start dancing whenever you hear music, sometimes you even make up your own.
  
• You are such a ray of sunshine. One of the happiest babies I know! (and I know a lot of babies)
• Your mommy can't get enough of you!

Jericho you truly are a Joy and I am so blessed to be your mommy! I'm so excited about getting to watch you grow. I know that the Lord has a purpose and a plan for your life and I'm thankful that I get to be part of it. Your only 8 month old and I can't imagine my life without you in it. You are and always will be my love bug.

I love you...........to the moon and back!
