My 8 month old

 Connor Jackson, you are 8 months old!

You weigh 18lbs 8oz

You are wearing size 6-9 month clothing & size 3 diapers

You eyes are still a vibrant blue that melts my heart and your blondish brown hair is growing in more and more everyday.

You WILL NOT wear socks or shoes! You think they are toys & they end up in your mouth within seconds! Most days if were hanging out at home I leave you in your sleepers so your feet stay warm. 

You are sitting like a big boy, rolling all over the place and starting to army crawl and pull up to all fours. I think your just weeks away from a full on crawl! You are still nursing and taking bottles of breast-milk throughout the day. You eat cereal with fruit in the morning and a vegetable or meat around 5pm each night. We also started giving you puff snacks to try throughout the day, you not too sure what to think of their texture. 

You love bath time, your jumperoo, your walker & being held! Radar makes you laugh everyday & when Mommy & daddy sign to you, you light up. Your favorite songs are itsy bitsy spider, wheels on the bus, & this little piggy. You also love when Auntie Kate plays "drop zone" with you. You are ticklish, especially on your belly and love when we blow raspberries on your tummy. 

You were/are sick a little this month. You ran a fever for a few days and had some diarrhea but are still a happy boy. They you developed a rash so back to the doctors we went. She said you just have a bug and the rash was caused by the fever. Still no teeth, but I do think you're teething is causing you pain as well. However, even a rash & diarrhea, you are still a happy baby... full of smiles and giggles, just a bit clingier... like screaming whenever mama sets you down for a second to go potty. It's okay Connor, mommy doesn't need to pee anymore :) 

You are a great sleeper!!! (knock on wood)... We do a bath around 730 and you are out by 8pm. Rarely you wake up anymore in the night, unless you have a dirty diaper. You sleep all the way until 8:00 sometimes 9:00am! 

You were in your first wedding this month! Mommy held you as we walked down the aisle at Matt & Mikaela's wedding. You looked so handsome in your white button up shirt, dockers and chuck taylors. It was a fun wedding weekend, full of hanging out with family and celebrating however, by 8:00pm on the wedding day you hit your breaking point and just wanted to go home! You were such a trooper even though you were so tired most of the day! 

Baby boy, it has been a fun 8 months. Daddy says this is his favorite stage. You're so alert, laughing all the time and smiling at us. Your quick to recognize us and we both love coming into your room in the morning to pick you up. You shine with the biggest smile when you see us and it melts our hearts! I think that moment is always my favorite! 

We love you Connor Jackson!

love, mommy & daddy
