Eight months old and into EVERYTHING*.
*Cheerios
You take your eyes off him for 10 seconds and your eyes return to a sight like this. Cheerios strewn all about and one happy little boy sitting in the middle. Zero guilt. *The Fireplace
The day after he learned to crawl, he learned to climb, making the fireplace his most favorite place to be. He likes to climb up to it, then climb on top of it, then stand up, then hold on to the chains with one hand, at which point I intervene. He would probably try to climb inside if I didn't stop him there. He is one fearless little boy, which makes me one very fearful mom.

In addition to finding our DVD collection, he also found faith in Christ.*Sticky Situations
He looks happy, but he is stuck. This happens all the time with a wobbly little table he likes to pull on top of him everyday. When do they put two and two together and stop getting in the same sticky situation?
TJ loves to suck the dirt off every leaf in sight. He occasionally finds one inside our house and he picks it up, and sucks on it for a few minutes. Take him outside and that turns into one very hearty, organic, iron-fortified meal.

TJ loves to climb up on the dishwasher, especially when it's open and there is more surface area to play. It's a shame he can't help load/unload. Maybe we will work on that next month...

Sick. But after the fiftieth time finding him like this I decided it was time to take a picture.

Only very, very rarely does he get into his toys. We are talking a 1 to 10 ratio, meaning he plays with this awesome Christmas present from Grandpa Gene that makes noises, and lights up, and you can push it, and put balls in it... for 3 minutes, and then he goes and plays with an empty milk jug for 30.

Yes, TJ is very, very into his best bud, Julian. He gets so excited when he sees Mr. J, who now says "TJ" without prompt. TJ will stare at him, laugh at him, and follow him everywhere he goes. Lately he has gotten to play with Julian a lot, while Kim and I crafted our little hearts out over a Valentine's banner.*Mom's stuff
Here he is getting into part of Kim and I's unfinished little craft banner- "Happy {heart} Day"
TJ's Eighth month was my favorite so far. It was a slow month that seemed to last forever, but yet it didn't last long enough. Trent and I can't get enough of our little boy, who makes us so happy and proud. In addition to learning how to crawl this month, he also learned how to make lots of new noises, including "Dada," which Trent of course is loving. Now we need to teach him what that word means, and how to say "Mama."

So precious!!! What a cute little guy!
I cant get enough of your cute boy. I love all the pictures, he seems like such a happy and smiley baby. You look great too by the way. We should get together sometime, somehow, since Michael and I are in Atlanta. I miss seeing you and would love to meet TJ!
I am so glad among all the things he finds, he found some faith in Christ. That made me laugh. He looks interested in all the same things as Chase, including toilets, cereal boxes, mom's stuff, etc. I am not sure him getting in sticky situations will end any time soon if he is anything like Chase. He is almost 18 months and I still have to watch him closely or who knows what kind of trouble I'll find him in :) It is all a lot of fun though. I loved seeing all the pictures. He continues to be an adorable little boy.
Fun times! TJ looks happy and lovable. Thanks for taking such good care of this precious child of God.
Adorable pictures. He is such a fun little boy! Love all your comments, you're so funny! Can't wait to come visit!
He is so precious!! I wish we lived closer so I could love on this little cutie!
I LOVED this post! He's so cute, I wish I could meet him! By the way, you look so great! Miss you!
And I must add to this...on Monday he learned to clap his hands! What a bright boy he is. I just could not get enough kisses on those chubby little cheeks! He is sooooo adorable, happy and good. He just lets us sew, shop and talk while he does his own thing...like play with the milk jug and get into the toilet!!What a fun day I had with TJ! What a great mom you are, Amelia. You'll have to give out that helaty mac and cheese dish to everyone. Yum!Thanks for making my week!
oops, that is HEALTHY mac and cheese!!! The ink-like blogs on my broken screen make it impossible to read my text in its entirety before sending. Sorry about that!
