8 MONTHS

Gavin is now 8 months old and he has had a very eventful past couple of weeks. It seems like he has started to do SO MANY new things and he is amazing us everyday. I might have to add more to this post later as I remember, but here are some of the big things he has started to do.






He started to feed himself puffs, goldfish, cheese puffs, apples, and many other snacks. I thought he was never going to start feeding himself because he tried for so long and could not get it. I would always try to show him how to do it and he couldn't. One day, I looked over and he was doing it without any help! He loves the Gerber cheese puffs and tries to put 2 or 3 in his mouth at once.


Another tooth came through last week and we can hear it when he is biting and chewing on his toys. It is so cute to see his teeth when he smiles!

He uses everything he can to pull himself up. He thinks he has to be standing at all times. He loves the table toy with all of the lights and buttons on it. When he gets up in the morning and sees it, he starts to scream for it right away!




He waved for the first time. He opens his hand and waves it back and forth instead of opening and closing it. We can't get him to do it very often. He seems to do it at random times.

He has been trying to crawl for a while now. He would get himself up on his knees and rock, but then he would get tired and just sit back up on his but. I think he officially started to crawl today. He does it kind of weird. He keeps one knee on the ground and one foot flat on the ground. I know this isn't the normal way of crawling, but it is getting him around and he does it pretty quickly.



He got a toy shopping cart from the Easter bunny and he tries to push it around. When he first got it, he didn't know what to do with it because it moved and rolled. We have been showing him how to walk with it and he has gotten a lot better.



He is still babbling a lot and has started to fake laugh. He is also in love with Zoee. All she has to do is walk past him and she gets a little giggle.
