8 months old!!

Christopher hit 8 months last week. Holy cow- the little nugget is 2/3 of a year old. Time is flying. Here's the update on the little man:

Likes:

• Crawling- he is officially a crawling machine. There is no stopping him- which means mom and dad need to get on the baby-proofing bandwagon STAT.
• Banging things around- he could spend an entire afternoon throwing things against our wood floors (much to his father's sadness). 
• Clapping- it is his new favorite activity.
• Yogurt- he would eat yogurt for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if we let him. 
• Standing- he can officially pull himself up and stand on his own!  Which is a feat in itself considering I never want to stop holding him!
• Blow dryer- who doesn't like a good blow dry after a nice bath.  He will lay still like this for hours (15 mins in baby time) if I point the blow dryer in his direction:

Dislikes:

• His winter coat- good luck trying to put him in his car seat wearing his coat.  Somehow he is stronger than me and I have almost had to call off from work because I couldn't win that battle.
• Breathing treatments- that was the worst experience ever.  Wrestling an alligator has got to be easier than keeping this boy still for 7-10 minutes.  All hell broke loose 3 seconds after this picture was snapped:

• Mommy leaving him at daycare.  Okay- so it only happened once- but that boy was so sad.  It made me feel awful.  But good to know how much he loves me!
