8 months!
This post was written by Mommy
8 months is so much fun! Patrick has FINALLY doing tricks like some of his friends. He started copying things in an obvious way very recently (all in a rush it seems!), like dancing (pretty much the cutest thing EVER and I love it!), cheering “yaaaaaay,” and smacking his lips. (I think they are supposed to be kisses?) He cracks me up! He also says “mamamamamama” a lot but doesn’t really associate it with me (and only a few times has repeated it after me). He also seems to be making the sign for “puppy,” which we have been teaching him for a few months, and “milk,” which we have NOT really been teaching him until recently. But the “milk” sign kinda came along on its own, and while Matt thinks he means “I want milk,” I’m not so convinced. So we’re just trying to repeat the sign back to him when he does it, then offer milk (well, Matt doesn’t, but I do, lol).
And I think we have more teeth coming this week. He already has six and has been popping out sets of teeth each month since six months. He also seems to like everything in the solid foods department — or at least likes it enough to keep eating it. A bit of wasabi with our dinner from HuHot and hothot jalapenos were pretty funny because Patrick made a huge pouty face and turned really red….but he did not spit them out! This makes me glad….I can’t stand picky eating; it is one of my biggest pet peeves with kids, so I hope he will be adventurous in his food choices later on, because we like to try a lot of new foods too!
