8 months old!

Another month has quickly gone by!  Our baby is 8 months old today :)

Here are a few of the things that Dawson has done in the last month:

• Easily puts the paci back in his mouth
• Likes to "bonk" heads with people 
• Loves to stand up by himself while holding on to something
• Scoots around on his tummy (moves backwards, to the side, and in circles, but hasn't figured out how to go forward yet!)
• Had his first sickness :(
• Went on his first long trip
• His second tooth came in
• Loves to touch faces
• Started feeding himself
• Loves to babble things like "da da da" 
• Lets us know very clearly what he does and doesn't want!
• Still LOVES LOVES LOVES people :)

In honor of being 8 months old, he got to sport his first mohawk!

Each month picture taking gets harder and harder!  Dawson just loves his bear I guess :)  Here are a few of the pictures that didn't make the cut!

 

 As you can see in the last picture, he was DONE with the camera by this time :)
