Eight Months Old!

Coye turned eight months a couple weeks ago. He's growing so quickly and getting so big. He's such a good baby and loves being around people. The girls just adore him and fight daily over who gets to be by him and talk to him. I wonder how long that will last. They are so anxious for him to crawl, yet they don't realize that as soon as he does, he will be into all of their stuff, which I'm sure won't go over well.

Here's what he's been up to this past month:

• He has become a great eater. He now eats all sorts of food including brown rice, oatmeal, sweet potatoes, acorn squash, carrots, peas, applesauce, pears, bananas, and prunes.
• He can scoot backwards on his tummy, especially on slick floors.
• He took a bath in the real bathtub for the first time with cousin Gabe over Christmas. He was a little confused by it - I think it was the big tub and the fact that Gabe was crawling all over and splashing.
• He met his Uncle Nic, Aunt Ingrid, and cousins Maximus, Colton, and Elora when they came home for Christmas from Okinawa.
• He loves to watch people, especially when there is noise involved - i.e. the kids playing. :)
• He continues to get up in the middle of the night to eat at least once. I'm not sure if it's just a bad habit or if he really is hungry.
• He is still a really happy baby.
