8 months old

Our youngest son is 8 months old today... Can it be true? I am very sure time has never flown this fast, EVER. Rivers is a joyful, calm little thinker. He brings so much joy to this family!!

Here are a few tidbits on our mini man:

Crawling like everywhere
Puts everything in his mouth but esp. Paper and grass
LOVES watching his sisters and brother do just about anything
Laughs A LOT
Smiles A LOT
Still hasn't had a bottle or "real" food (at this point in life bottles are just too much work... And "real" food will come after cold and flu season is over)
Still a great little sleeper... Naps in his bed and cosleeping at night with mommy and daddy
Loves to sit by the toy box and play
Has been pulling up for over a month now but unfortunately he thinks he can stand by himself and does for a few seconds before he falls over and somehow always finds a way to nearly hit his head every time... Giving his mommy major scares.. :)
He loves to clap and pound his hands on anything
He gives his brother much grief when he grabs toys from him...although Ben firmly takes them back and bops him on the head as a reminder that he didn't like that little game.
He is already very tough and can handle himself pretty well when Ben tries to wrestle him... Which of course at this point I promptly break up.... There will be plenty of time for that one day when Rivs can actually walk!! :)

We really are so blessed to have such an incredible boy! What an amazing gift our Rivs is!

Happy 8 months!!
