8 Months

Sorry I always end up posting so many pictures of the little guy on his month birthday but I have to share AND his grandma's need to see his adorable little face.

This little boy still has NO teeth! And there aren't any on their way either, as far as I can tell.

And the end of the spitting up is no where in sight, a couple of times a month he will have a really good day and I will start to think he is getting better until the next day when he literally spews on everything. 

I was NOT ready for so much spit up. It's so much work! I do 2 loads a week JUST for him, sometimes more.

He is channeling his inner Dad right here.

He celebrated his 8 month in Idaho. It was lots of fun to see him interact with my brothers, they are actually pretty good with him and it is fun to watch them get used to a baby. 

look at that one little toe ;)

He also started pulling himself up onto things on his own this month.

And he wants to GO, GO, GO!

What is it about babies and animals on their bums? I love it!

Haha this picture makes me laugh, he's got the killer stare going on.

Month 8 is when Davie really started crawling. Before that he would kind of scoot around but not really get up and go. 

Ducky bum. Pay close attention to the next couple of photos.

looking down...

looking down...

looking at the ground...

still looking down, haha I don't know what it is but he loves to look down when you are trying to get his attention or take his picture.

This month is when he started saying da-da, I was a really hoping for Mama first but he just says it. He won't repeat it after you and he has no idea what it means. So that makes me feel better :)

I've been trying my best to write on here for his month birthdays so I can remember the little things. This is blog is essentially my journal but thank goodness for pictures!

Not much else really happened in this last month, he is developing appropriately for his age and minus trying to space out his meals so that he doesn't spit up too much I have been trying to do my best to fatten him up!

What is this?

I'll just pick of these green things.

Hmmm?? I don't know about this stuff. 

As always the drool is impressive

Hands and feet

I know all three of these pictures are almost the same but he kept putting his arm behind his back and it made me laugh.

It's so bright out here!

He was trying to figure out that grass. When he concentrates he makes a growling noise it's pretty funny but he does it a lot so it can also get old.

I just love the soft round cheeks on this boy!

No more pictures... for now.

Visiting Great Grandma Chris

So far this year Davie has gotten to visit with his great grandma's 3 times! And by Christmas it will be 4. It's such a blessing to get to share him with my family that I love so much. 

That being said Davie has been slightly obsessed with Grandma Chris's sweater every time we have visited her, it's pretty funny. If you look close that is what he is checking out in several pictures, at least he was gentle about it :)

Your sweater is so soft! I am going to pet it a bunch, ok.

Whenever Davie is with my grandmas or David's grandmas he always seems to pay really close attention when they talk to him and it's super cute to watch. 

The next three pictures are almost the same but they make me laugh because none of them have all three people looking and smiling at the camera all at once.

This is as close as it got, man I love my family!

Four generations... kind of 

My dad should be sitting with me but all he wanted to do was take pictures.

There he goes, always going some where, usually trouble.

Then he was listening to grandma talk again, look at his face he pay such good attention to her!

Checking out Grandpa Jerry's shoes

Chillaxing on the floor.... for like 2 seconds

Talking to Grandpa Jerry.

I love seeing Davie with my brothers, it just makes me so happy. Also notice how HUGE Brandon has gotten! Yeesh.

This one is my favorite of them

This was back when Davie was still losing his food like mad and that is why he no longer has his little blue jacket on. The whole time he was with Grandma I was afraid he was going to spit up on her, I'm so glad he didn't! Right before we left Davie had finally looked around enough that he was satisfied to sit still and let great Grandma hold him, it was very sweet.

Celebrating Her Brains Out

When my parents came to pick me up in Salt Lake it was my Mom's birthday week so we went to the Cheesecake factory, her favorite hair place, looked at furniture and whatever else she wanted to do. The woman parties hard! Haha jk Mom :)

The next day after we got home to Idaho Jordan was home for the evening so we went to Famous Dave's, cuz that is where Nana wanted to go. It was nice to go and eat with almost my whole family, except for Brandon because he was at his friend's house. The funny part is the next time we all went out to eat together Jordan had to work so it was the whole family except Jordan.

Uncle Jordan was keeping an eye out for Davie while I went and grabbed a few more things so we could leave.

Yummy lemonade

Davie likes to do this when he is in the carseat, it's pretty cute. Jordan kept asking me why Davie did it as if I knew, haha also funny. Also isn't Jordan so handsome?!

Just chillin' in his baby ride

Brother and Sister, Jordan with the goofy face.

Brother and Sister- nice smiles

There's that birthday lady!! Love these two!!!

Finding Time

First of all I would like to admit that I have had more than enough time to post on here recently but I have lost my will to do so.

The pictures are from stake conference this Sunday. We had to get a couple shots of Davie in his snazzy church get up. 

Other than our families I often wonder if anyone even reads my blog anymore and so I have been seriously considering the idea of one post a month, or less. My number one reason for trying to keep up with it in the first place is that I use it like a journal, and we all know how difficult it can be to keep a journal. 

 I'll give a couple of small updates, since I am on here I figure I might as well. Davie is growing like a weed, I haven't posted his 7 month info yet... and he is already almost 8 months (wha??). I noticed that a post from June called pickles and ice cream was fairly popular last month and I'm sorry to admit that no I am not pregnant and no I didn't think about how that might have sound like an announcement (haha sorry Jaimie :) I could have had a lot more fun with that post if I had realized that. I have started school again, David finished his first rotation as a REAL medical student and he is now absolutely sure he has no desire to do internal medicine. Along with finishing his first rotation he passed his first shelf exam and he is onto psychiatry. 

This one makes me laugh because it looks like Davie is trying to get David to let go.

 On a completely unrelated note, before this week is over Davie and I will be in a plane again heading to SLC! I am currently taking 14 credits and have become addicted to swagbucks (it's just so easy to let their movies run with the volume on mute!). Our house is cleaner than it has been in goodness knows how long and a tiny 5x5 storage unit is to blame. I kept telling David if we only had one more big closet our house wouldn't feel so cramped or cluttered and I was right. Other than that not too much has been going on. Hope to see some of you in Idaho soon! Also if you read this please comment so I can see if anyone besides my family even reads this stuff anymore.
