8 months

I'm a little late, but we celebrated Ryan's 8 month birthday while we were on vacation at the beach. Here are some of the fun developments from month 8 -


  • Talking - continues to say "da da" - Still no "ma ma," but we're working on it!

  • His "dancing" move - when he's sitting up sometimes he'll start bouncing and it looks like he's bopping along to some music.

  • Sometimes (maybe on accident) when he's sitting up he can transition to his belly.

  • No crawling yet, but he can turn in circles and scoot backwards - unfortunately backwards is usually not the direction he wants to go!

  • He is starting to realize when we leave the room or when we take a toy from him, and isn't afraid to let us know about it.

  • He's learned this adorable pout when something isn't going his way, and it usually turns into a really pathetic cry (see video below...if you can take it)

  • It looks like he's inherited my tongue and he's learning how to do some pretty crazy twisty moves with it.

  • Standing up - he loves to pull himself up to a standing position with the help of holding our hands.

  • Blowing raspberries - he's known how to do this for a while but has started doing it so much more - mostly when he's hungry or tired.

  • Growling - this is what daycare has started to call the grunting/squealing noise that he loves to make :)

  • New foods - broccoli, apples with cinnamon, green beans, plums, peaches

And here's the teddy bear picture!



And some fun videos!



Here's Ryan coming to get me! Prepare yourself...this one is addictive!
