Frankie 8 Months

Baby boy you are even that much closer to being ONE, I can't believe it!! Your favorite thing to do right now is to stand and play. You love your Leap Frog learning table, it makes tons of noises and has bright flashing lights on it. It even has a page that you can turn back and forth, I have gotta tell you that is one of your favorite things to do. You will stand and play there for a long time without losing interest. You love to roll any ball on the floor, after you roll it we say yay and that makes you so happy and excited. You move your arms up and down and squeal with excitement. You want to move so badly but just haven't gotten the hang of it. Rolling is your main form of movement right now. You have almost figured out how to scoot around to roll in a different direction. Somethings you get stuck on your arm but you won't give up , you just try to roll harderuntil you get over or somebody comes to your rescue and helps you get over. Still no signs of crawling, if we put you on your hands and knees you just sit there for a few seconds and then fall down face first. You do love to walk while we hold your hands though. You are really wobbly but are getting the hang of it. I think that you might go straight to walking and skip the whole crawling thing. You are making all kinds of sounds now, most of them we have no clue but I just try to make the same type of sound back which seems to make you happy. Daddy swears that you said dada and looked at him but I am not so sure of the because you look at me and say dada too. You have said mama a few times but it hasn't been directed at me yet, I know the day is coming though. You are really turning on the smiling though, you smile all the time especially for Aunt Annie. She has been able to get so many good pictures of you during the day. Even with the big move to cape with the big move to Cape you have been sleeping though the night for the most part. There are some night here and there but you are a pretty good sleeper now. You also take 2 naps at Aunt Annie's almost everyday which makes for a happy baby during the evening!! The snow!!
