Where has my baby gone???

Eight months ago today, our sweet little Anthony was born. And while those 8 months have flown by (for me, anyway), it has actually been 8 months. And boy has a lot changed during that time! Anthony is now a big ol' chunk weighing just over 20 pounds and I'm sure he's close to 30" long now! When he nurses, he lies across me and then some -- a lot of some!! His feet hang down by my knees. He's sitting up, playing with toys and keeping himself happy. He loves the walker and can get where he wants to go, actually walking in it now. He plays in the high chair and feeds himself food, too!! We took a slow approach to introducing food because he just wasn't real interested in it to begin with. But, now he loves new tastes! He can pick up chunks of veggies and eat them and feeds himself puffs (which he loves!). He says "mama" and "dada" now, too. Mama was first, by the way!! He loves his brothers and watching them play or sitting in the floor with them will keep him occupied for quite a while. He loves to explore his toys and almost always finds the tag on the toy. He chews on the tag more than the toy!

So, here's some new pics of him. It's not Christmas in August, but Jackson found these antlers in their room and put them on Anthony. He thought they were hilarious! He loves riding in the stroller (doesn't he look like such a little boy and not a baby) and playing in the high chair. And what a busy boy! He didn't even move his cup, he just stopped drinking out of it and started playing with another toy. LOL

And here he is last night, feeding himself sweet potatoes and puffs. Look how serious he is! And, notice that there are puffs in both hands. Another two-fisted eater!
