Samuel is now 8 Months old. He is getting more and more of a personality and is starting to feel like an actual person You can really see his personality in this photo:

He gets on his hands and knees all of the time and rocks back and forth. Crawling is around the corner.

He is getting the hang of sitting up on his own.

He also started doing what I call his “GQ Pose”. I’m not sure how or why he decided to start doing it, but he does it really frequently.

He also loves to chase his toy football around the room.

He still loves his Jumperoo and will spend a lot of time in it every day. There have been a few times where he has fallen asleep in it.

He is still eating only pureed food although we have given him banana chunks and Cherrios. Both foods he gives us this look like we are trying to poison him. We’re going to try again in a few weeks, but it was really funny watching him make those faces. When he eats his pureed food he is really messy.

He also likes to play with the spoon and suck his fingers during eating. This time he couldn’t decide which one to do so he did both:

Joe and Samuel have been having a lot of fun playing together. Joe really loves Samuel as you can see in this picture that is one of my all time favorites:

Joe also likes to “torture” Samuel. This play time was Joe putting the stackable rings on Samuel:

Joe is also looking forward to when Samuel can sit on his own on his shoulders.

We are having a lot of fun with Samuel and can’t wait to see how he will grow and learn. More pictures are in the Samuel 8 Months Album
