8 MONTHS OLD!

We sure are enjoying our "8" month old! He is so good natured, always happy and smiling or laughing. He is very preoccupied right now with his new hobby: trying to crawl. He gets up on his knees and hands to rock then scoot forward. I see that we may have to get knee patches for when he wears them out :). Like every parent, we can't believe he is 8 months old! I made the mistake of looking at our pictures from his birth day to see how tiny he was. ;) It was very cute. Right now, I'm day dreaming about his 1st birthday cause I realize it's just around the corner! yikes! In October, we will be resubmitting our names for adoption in hopes we will be chosen within a year but will take what we get and be so grateful. Evan has enriched our lives and given us the purpose we were seeking. We look forward to giving him siblings if we can. He will be a great brother and friend. Next Sunday is our 12th wedding anniversary (and Father's Day!) so we plan to take Evan away for the weekend, somewhere close but 'away', still don't know where exactly. If we can get hold of Courtney, part of the trip will include Atlanta to see her. I hope we can, we miss her very much. Anyway, enjoy our pictures and joy. Thank you for your love.

An 8 month old's likes and dislikes:

My Likes:

My glow worm!!!, scooting/pulling/'crawling'/rocking forward on my hands and knees, screaming, "talking" (no words yet), bouncing, playing on my mat, grinding my teeth! (rrrrrr), biting (i have bruises), getting big, eating gerber fruit/vegi's and puffs, when mom dresses me up, when dad takes me everywhere, when people want to hold me and let me bounce on their laps, laughing, chewing on my fingers, when people make faces at me to make me laugh, flying in on airplanes to see my California family, grass, watching Smokey, Oliver and Samantha, my new teeth - MAN they are cool! (there are currently 5. 2 up, 3 down) i like to smile at imaginary people/things, to sleep from 8p - 830a. baths/bath toys, my 'pool', sun, swinging.

My Dislikes:

Being made to go to sleep even though I'm exhaused! when mom and dad forget to take me out of the bouncer (it happens), when smokey won't let me pull his fur, when oliver doesnt' like me to poke him in the eye, when mom doesnt' let me pull the table cloth off the kitchen table.

You're the best Uncle Isaac! Go Dodgers! ;)

HAPPY 19TH BIRTHDAY UNCLE ISAAC!!
