Eight Months Old!

Our little boy is eight months old today! Still no teeth, but I think they're getting close (John has jokingly called me "Chicken Little" in regards to the whole teething thing because I get so sincere that his teeth are about to break through and it winds up being a false alarm). He's not crawling yet, but his favored method of getting around is rolling. Boy, does he ever roll! He's been trying all kinds of new foods and tasting some juice out of a sippy cup. Today, he just tried a cut-up spaghetti noodle to begin the whole new phase of finger foods and trying some foods that actually require chewing. As much fun as it is to make his baby food right now (and as much as he loves eating his pureed fruits and veggies), it will be nice when he gets to the point of feeding himself and eating things that are not pureed. That day will probably come way too soon!
