Rhett at Eight Months

Rhett continues growing and changing before our very eyes! We love him so much. We are very blessed. He's turning into a little boy, and we could not be more thrilled with him. This month he finally started crawling! He scoots all around the floor grabbing at anything that catches his fancy. He loves playing with his toys, particularly small ones that he can pick up and pass from hand to hand. He really likes books that have large faces--he laughs at his books. He also really enjoys paper of any kind--ripping it is his favorite activity.  He's also starting to become quite bossy. He doesn't much like his diaper being changed and will get very angry and let you know it!

We switched Rhett over to his larger carseat this month, which has made car rides much more tolerable. He likes someone to talk to in the car, and likes to have something to play with. He's been eating well and made the transition to formula without any fuss.

Rhett is SUCH a good baby. We're very spoiled. He's so happy with life all the time. He laughs and smiles all the time and is equally happy to play independently or with mom and dad. Josh's favorite game is give-mom-a-heart-attack, in which he flips Rhett completely over in his arms. Rhett thinks it's a BLAST, but I'm certain that Josh is going to break his neck one of these days. I'm trying to nip it in the bud.

Here's some photos from this month! A lot of them are repeats from facebook, but with my Christmas money, I am planning on purchasing a DSLR, and I'm going to devote a good amount of time this spring to learning how to shoot with it, so expect lots of photo posts to come!
