8 months

July 24th, 2019... mommy's 40th bday and I am 8 months old.

In some ways not much had changed and in other ways I have grown a lot.

 Went to sea world for the 2nd time with mommy's coworkers. Loved the dolphin show. Mrs. Lori taught me how to clap my hands. I still love watching the animals and being around people.

I love food! I get really frustrated with mommy trying to feed me purees. I just want to feed myself... even if it is a mess to clean up... I am learning.  

Mommy is now home with me full time

.. we go on lots of fun adventures... we went to the farmers market and met an alpaca farmer

 Alpaca fur is really soft.

 

I earned my wings this month

... first flight to NC and my first tooth popped through the day of the flight. I fussed the entire way to the airport but was great at the airport and slept the majority of the flight

I got to meet my uncle Jated and Aunt Laura for the first time. 

I got to play with my friends Grace and Luke
 Also from CA visiting family in NC. Our mommies have been friends for almost 35 years.

I got to meet my Great Uncle Jim. 

And loved spending time with Grampa and Oma Calhoun

I saw my first fireworks at the Burlington City Park on July 3rd.

And we spent a week on the road driving down the outer banks.

Still loving to eat and boy do I get into my food.

Went to a playdate at the splash pad near our house. Can't wait to run though the water.

I am eating lots of foods... pancakes... French toast...  oatmeal... cheerios... eggs....bananas... apples... strawberries.... blueberries... peaches... squash... cucumber... carrots.... peas... olives...mushrooms...pasta...  peanut butter sandwiches and grilled cheese sandwiches....

I LOVE TO FEED MYSELF!

I have also learned to crawl... even though I would rather be walking.

I still love snuggles with mommy... when I can hold still long enough. I am normally a wiggle bug.

Some more 1sts that time in with adventures list above...

I got up close with the dolphins...

I fed the birds at Sylvan Heights bird park

And giraffes at the Asheboro zoo

I started my own national park passport and got an entire section filled 

I am one happy little guy that enjoys being outside and the water. Still have fear of missing out but love being around people.
