8 months!

Graham turns 8 months at the beginning of next week, but with Harper's 2nd birthday festivities, I didn't want to overlook writing about where he is these days and all the fun he is having. Fun is really the word for Grammy right now. He is smiling, laughing, dancing, bouncing and talking all the time. His babble has really increased recently and he will even try to talk over his sisters when they are talking. He has mastered the art of pivoting around on his little buns and can spin around to see whatever action is taking place in the room. He is scooting some as well and can pretty much get to whatever he wants, given he stays patient and takes the time to do so. He is definitely trying to crawl and just needs to either figure out army crawling or get up on his knees. Right now he ends of supermanning and trying to swim after a moment or two of trying to crawl.
He is still eating, although he has slowed down a bit. He is preferring more and more real food to baby food and loves the site of a bagel or banana coming his way.
He loves being outside and spends a lot of time trying to scoot off of his blanket or pulling back his blanket to pull up and eat grass, seeds and sticks. He loves to eat playground mulch as well.
He scoots baskwards and ends up under the couch, bed or whatever else is around. He is not fond of this.
He loves to play peek-a-boo and loves to be roughed up. If you aren't willing to play rough- too bad, he is going to tackle and cover you in sloppy kisses anyways.
