Happy 8 Months Maverick!

Today Maverick is 8 months old!
Here is what he's been up to lately...



(mommy made my onesie!)
-I weigh about 22 pounds, and if my mom had to guess she'd say I'm about 30 inches long (I've grown SO much! I'm as big as an average 1 year old!)
-I wear 9-12 month clothing
-My diapers are size 3


-I am crawling all over the place! My mom and dad often say, "How did you get over there?!"
-I love to walk while my mom and dad hold my hands.
-My favorite thing to do is go swimming!!! I like to float on my back and kick my legs.



-I "talk" all the time now. I say "ba-ba, da-da, pa-pa" and occasionally a "ma-ma".
-I like to sing! When I hear music I say "uhhhhhh" in the tone.
-I love to blow raspberries and soak my shirt with spit.


-I am SO fascinated with my dog Belle, but Belle still isn't too sure about me. Maybe it's because I pull her hair when I'm trying to pet her. Even if I'm crying, I'll stop if Belle walks by.
-I like to hold Belle's leash from my stroller when we go on walks.
-I work so hard to crawl to her, but she moves when I get close enough to pull her hair.


-I'm trying out a sippy cup, but will only drink a couple ounces from it if my mom coaxes me into it.
-My favorite lunches are vegetable beef, chicken and noodles, apples and chicken, and turkey and rice.


-To celebrate my 8 months, I pulled myself up from sitting today! My mom has never seen me do that before!! I think she may adjust my crib tonight! I think I freaked her out a little bit.


-I just started sitting on top of my scooter and I like it when mom or dad pushes me. I try to get myself to go forward, but I haven't quite figured it out yet. Mom is always there when I wiggle too crazy and fall off.
