Happy 8 months Alex!!

Well, my baby turned 8 months old today! 

He is growing into such a nice little boy!!  Everyday it's something new! 

We had a wonderful week with Alex's MiMi! She flew in on a Friday and was able to stay with us for a little over a week. Since I had to work Monday through Wednesday, MiMi watched Alex. By the 3rd day she was glad that I was taking off Thursday and Friday! She had a great time watching him, even though she said, "This baby sure can whine!!"

I'm so glad that I took the opportunity to take some time off of work to spend with My Mom and Alex.  I was quite tired on Thursday so we stayed close to the house - and I took a nap when Alex too one! On Friday we headed to the outlets in Monroe for some shopping. Alex got some summer clothes and I got some jeans!!

Mama and Alex Shopping

After shopping we headed to a local restaurant. Alex was really good and was quite comical. He developed the gift of gab while sitting in the restaurant! He talked so much it was entertaining. We went at an off time so there were only a few people eating there. Unfortunately, it made it seem like Alex was screaming because it was so empty! He ate his lunch and then tried to eat our lunch! He tasted ketchup for the first time which he seemed to really enjoy -- even though I told him it's just empty calories and not nutritious!! He has begun using "MAMAMAMA" for when he wants something from me.

We picked up some big boy pajamas for Alex and he just looks like a little man. I can't believe we have outgrown the pjs with the little feet!! He is too cute though in his new 2 piece clothes! My Mom was holding his hands and Alex began dancing!! He would kick out his right foot and just bust a move! He would dip real low so I started saying, "drop it low Alex, drop it low!!" Now whenever I say it he dips real low, then waits for my reaction -- which is usually a giggle!!

Big Boy PJS

 Our weekend ended with playing outside yesterday!! We probably spent a couple of hours outside. We went for a walk and then just played in the back yard. This is after our walk. Alex is laughing because I kept telling him, "Mama's so tired!!" I was being very dramatic and slumping over him when I said it. He was laughing so hard he couldn't catch his breath!
My little boy is just too funny....

Last big thing is Alex is FINALLY getting a tooth. It popped up yesterday and so far, not giving us too many problems. He is a little restless at night and I have to go into his room to put his pacifier back in his mouth. But besides that inconvenience, he seems to be doing well. 


Happy 8 months Baby Boopers!!
