Harry Beau,
Today you are 8 months old and I swear you get happier with every day that passes. I honestly think you are the definition of Jolly... rosy cheeks and all. It makes your daddy and I so happy to watch your smile; especially when your sister is around. The adoration you have for her makes us jealous at times, but it also reminds me what an answer to prayer you are!
You had your first thanksgiving this month and it was SUCH a JOY to watch you! We are certainly on the path for another great eater. You sit in your high chair and immediately think food should present itself for your enjoyment. When it doesn’t, you begin a very specific whining sequence until said food arrives. It’s adorable, though annoying.
You are still not moving, though you are getting braver with how far you are willing to reach to grab a toy or food. Perhaps you’ll be crawling by Christmas, but the general consensus from your aunts and uncles is that you’re just too happy and content to crawl. It’s a catch 22 for mama... you not moving is very easy. But you not moving is also beginning to frustrate you... only time will tell!
You said “mama” this month, and though I know it wasn’t on purpose, I’m claiming it as your first word! Your daddy disagrees, but you and me know you meant it! ;) Either way, it’s been fun to watch you explore different sounds. The soundtrack that is forming alongside your many faces is quite entertaining!
We can’t wait to see you through your first Christmas season. It is mama’s favorite time of year and I have been so excited to share it with you for the very first time! So happy 8 months and the end of November. December, here we come!
We love you, Harry Beau,
Mama & Daddy
