8 Months!

Evan is now 8 months and so much has changed this past month. He is now officially crawling all over the place. He can go from crawling position to sitting up position, which still cracks me up when I go into his room after naptime and he is sitting up in his crib! He is talking away all the time and can say "mama, dada, bubba (for his brother), nana, pops, hey, hi, and love". I LOVE to hear him talk, it is so sweet. He said mama first, but since he's discovered dada is easier to say, he doesn't say mama much anymore unless he's really mad (go figure!). He loves to play with Andrew, and especially loves to play with his matchbox cars. It has been a lesson of sharing for Andrew, who has not had to share his toys in almost 6 years of his life:) Andrew is the greatest big brother though. He plays with Evan all the time and is so helpful in keeping him entertained while I cook dinner or do things around the house. All Andrew has to do is talk to Evan to make him laugh uncontrollably. He thinks his big brother is the best! Evan continues to try new foods. I make him fresh fruits and veggies and his favorites are bananas and sweet potatoes, although he actually loved broccoli. Peas are still the only food he didn't care for. He is obsessed with banana puffs! He loves to read books, especially those that have sounds. He loves when we go to the park and will sit in the baby swing and swing forever! He is still sleeping through the night like a champ. Evan is such a blessing to us and is such a sweetheart. We all love this little guy!
