Teddy is EIGHT months old!!!

Not only did Teddy turn EIGHT months old on Sat., but I also got the day off! Yes, you read that right. On Sat. Shae declared it "Mommy day off" at our house. He changed all the diapers and took over all of the "Teddy duties" so I actually had an entire day off. Shae made my breakfast and lunch, and we went out to eat for dinner. We also went to two farmer's markets and to the pool. I felt so light not pushing a stroller or carrying a diaper bag! It was really fun and I know I am very lucky to have such a great husband!

But back to the blog, since this is Teddy's blog... These pictures are getting harder and harder to take. Teddy will easily smile, but he does NOT want to sit still! You can tell by these "out-takes":

Luckily Shae caught Teddy before he tumbled off of the rocking chair!

We may have to move these pictures to the floor!

"Yummy bear!"

Now that Teddy is getting bigger, and he has six (working on seven and eight) teeth, he is ready to start brushing them. OK, not really... but we are getting there:

He'd actually rather hit Shae on the belly with his toothbrush!

Teddy is definitely getting more mobile. Although he is not technically crawling, he is scooting and rolling all over the place. The other morning he was so proud as he slid all over the kitchen floor:

Another exciting thing happening as Teddy gets older is the return of his hair!!! When he was first born, he had a whole head of dark brown hair. We used to spike it all up when it was wet to style it, but as his hair got thinner and thinner the hair-do disappeared. Guess what has returned:

OK, so maybe now it's more like one little spot that sticks up, rather than spiked hair... but it's a start, and he seems to like it:

Teddy is growing so much he has outgrown his infant car seat!!!! Although he is getting so big, he suddenly looks small again in his new car seat:

Although he is growing every day (or maybe because he is growing every day) Teddy still takes several naps a day. And he still loves to cover his face when he sleeps. And he will nap pretty much anywhere he becomes tired. Here is what he did all by himself when he was getting tired while playing on his owl blanket:

Good thing he has his favorite napping buddy:
