Our little boy is eight months old and as you can see, very mobile. I have actually already starting having pangs and flash-forwards to the days when he doesn't want us around and get teary eyed. He still really wants to be with us and I know I need to store up these days to take back out when he pushes us away.
He is an absolute hoot! He's saying "mum", which is an improvement on "mmmmm" when he wants me. He has six big old teeth and one almost through and another on the way that we can see. We go in for a check up at nine months and can't wait to see how big our "hoss" really is.
We also started doing Gymboree once a week about a month ago and it's a blast. It's like a little gym and preschool for infants. His teacher is great about getting everyone to interact with each other and challenge the babies to try new things. The first day he was good for about the first 15 minutes and then he got overwhelmed and just wanted to hug Mom. Now he's enjoying playing with the other kids. One little girl screams happily almost the entire time which is hysterical. During the second class, Liam talked over the teacher during what is supposed to be "grown up" discussion. Too cute!
We're enjoying every minute (okay, not every minute) and looking forward to him being able to communicate with us. I say it every day and know I'll regret it soon, but I can't wait for him to talk!
We'll let you know how the check up goes...
