A Mover and a Shaker!


Brooks is officially 8 months old!  I know we are always saying that "time flies," but I never dreamed the last 8 months would go as quickly as they have.  Brooks is now on the move!  He does a quite entertaining crawl.  Tim and I (and his teachers) like to call it "the inchworm."  He gets into a crawl position and then pushes himself forward onto his belly and repeats.  In addition to crawling, he loves to walk!  He will walk holding my fingers, pushing the walker, and even take a step or two on his own.  He runs for Munson... he already loves that dog!

 Such a happy boy!
Brooks still loves to eat, and his repetoire is much larger now.  So far his favorite seems to be fruit and yogurt puffs.  At school he sits with his friends while they all eat their puffs, its so cute!  He is beginning to be able to pick up food and put it in his mouth, although he still misses half the time.  New foods this week include spinach, strawberries, and yogurt.  He has just about had every fruit and vegetable and we are beginning chicken and turkey.

Since I am back to work we have been working on getting his schedule set.  The child still won't nap much at daycare with all his friends there (I can't really blame him).  But he falls asleep before we leave the parking lot every afternoon!  This mommy is trying to adjust to not spending everyday with him.  It's more difficult now than it was in December (he's not just a sleeping, pooping baby anymore).
