Dear Jax,
You are 8 months old! WOW, this Mama is in shock that you are already 8 months, soon to be 9 months! You have given us a run for our money and we couldn't be more thrilled. Jax, you are much more exploratory and adventurous than Miss T was when she was your age. She got around like you did, but she wasn't interested in getting into things nearly like you. You enjoy spending your time in the garbage can, tipping it over and pulling things out of it. You also enjoy playing in the toilet, splashing in delight and giving a cheesy grin when you're caught. You like to pull on cords, throw things over your shoulder and try to eat anything that might be on the floor. You are a little tornado, and we love every minute of it. Sometimes you make us a little crazy, like when you're pulling the toilet paper across the room or messing up T's artwork, but we are totally loving every minute of you right now. Last night Daddy said, "He's just wired different than T."
You have also moved on from crawling to standing on anything and everything. You pull yourself up and then walk along the edge of whatever you're holding on to. You want to boogie and keep up with Miss T. You also decided at month 8 that you don't want to take a bottle anymore. You'd rather wait for Mama. THis has been quite the challenge, but we are getting through it.
Jax, we can't wait to see the fun things you accomplish this month. I know you'll be walking soon, and keeping yourself even busier than you already are. We are so blessed to have you in our lives.
Love you so much.
