8 Months!



Jacob,

WOW!  That's all I can say!  How in the world is it that you are already 8 months old?!?  That means in 4 months, you will be turning one!  I just cannot believe it.  I can still remember when Ethan turned one like it was yesterday.  I also vividly remember the day you were born...and how quickly it happened, too.

I do not believe I can say it enough, but you are such a joy to be around.   You are constantly smiling at anything and everyone.  It is so awesome that God has blessed Daddy and me with you.  You are so happy all the time.  Well, unless you are hungry or tired.  You are interacting with Ethan more every day, and it is so fun to watch the two of you play together.  You love to get Ethan!

At 8 months, you are beginning to crawl.  You will get on all fours (a lot of times looking like a chimpanzee, just like Ethan did) and rock back and forth.  I know that you will be crawling before I know it, so I am having to re-baby proof our house again!  As I was trying to take your 8 month pictures, I would sit you down, and you immediately got into your crawling position.  You just kept laughing at Ethan and me as we were trying to make you smile and sit up!

You are my snuggler.  I love when I hold you.  You constantly give me hugs and hold to my neck very tightly.  You also love to give kisses, slobber and all, but I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world.  Daddy and I love to watch you when you wake up.  You will lay in your bed, rolling over, and just look around.  When we get you up, you get so excited!

Oh, how I love every moment I have with you.  I feel like the world's luckiest Momma to have you and Ethan.  Happy 8 Month Birthday, Sweet Boy!

Love,

Momma
