Maxim, you are such a sweet little boy already who smiles at mommy and daddy all the time. Your smile makes the lack of sleep well worth it. This past month was a lot of fun watching you learn and do new things. You want to touch and grab at everything around you and you find the grass in the backyard very interesting. You have also started to copy everything we are doing. When daddy shakes his head, you feel the need to copy him and do the same thing and this turns into a game between the two of you. I drink my water out of a large cup with a straw when I am at home and after watching me do this you always want to copy me with the straw. You haven't quite figured out how to use a straw, but you do copy what I am doing.
You are a very good eater. The only thing you have declined to eat are sweet potatoes. I will try and introduce them again to you to give it another try. Right now you eat the following: oatmeal, bananas, mangos, apples, pears, green beans, peas, carrots and butternut squash. We are going to introduce plums to you this week. Your absolute favorite is banana and you love the squash too. I am very happy that you are such a good eater.
You like to grab at everything and especially beer bottles, and we find this very funny and of course take a picture every chance we get.
You are such a good baby that I never worry about taking you places. I know that as long as you can see what is going on around you, you are a very happy and content little man.
You love going to the sitter's house as you get super excited (but still shy) when we walk in the front door. This makes me feel so much better to leave you for the day and go to work. You have a lot of fun playing with Stephanie and watching her kids play. Soon you will be big enough to play with her kids...hopefully not too soon though.
I am starting to wonder if you are going to skip crawling since I can't get you to do tummy time and you are barely interested in sitting on your bottom. You only want to stand. You think it's very cool to stand as you stand there with big smiles on your face. You still don't sit completely on your own yet, but I am sure the constant standing isn't helping that at all.
Daddy brought home your high chair and you just love it. I know you have sat in one at the sitter's house, but I think you are pretty excited to have your very own chair at home. You love it so much that I am able to let you play in it when I am trying to get dinner cooked, or your food made for the upcoming week.
You have had some firsts this past month: Valentine's Day, sleeping on your tummy, the zoo, hiking and playing cards, to name a few.
You are such a little snuggler. You love to snuggle with mommy and daddy, but right now you pretty much prefer mommy over daddy as you are a mamma's boy. I don't mind at all and actually I am loving this right now because I know one day you will be too old to snuggle with mommy.
I am finding that you like animals as you really enjoy the three we have in the house. You love to stare at Captain as you are probably trying to figure out what he is since he never comes anywhere near you. Whenever Madison or Izzy come around you get excited and smile and you always want to pet them. You think it's hilarious when they lick your toes. You don't mind when they are in your face as you just squeal with joy.
Right now you are a rolling baby. Forget crawling, you will roll all over the floor to get where you want to go. You have mastered the fine art of rolling on the floor to get that toy that you want or pet the dog that is near by.
Bath time is fun time for you. We had to move your tub from the table to the floor because you go crazy with the kicking and splashing. I am usually soaked by the time your bath is over. Besides the splashing you enjoy playing peek-a-boo with daddy.

So far no teeth have poked through but we think it's coming soon. We can see the white spot where the tooth is and you are drooling A LOT! You also feel the need to gnaw on anything that comes your way. I am thinking your first tooth could be coming very soon.

I honestly cannot believe you are 8 months old already. I love you more than words can say and I love seeing your face every single day and spending my time with you. Maxim, you have brought so much happiness in my life and I look forward to watching you learn many more new things.
Love, your mommy
