Rowen is 8 months old today! He is growing up too fast. He is the light of our lives...such a wonderful blessing!
Motor Skills: he can sit by himself and doesn't need any support. He doesn't fall over anymore. He has mastered the balance it takes to sit tall! He is still rolling all over the place. He can roll from one side of the room to the other...if there is something on the other side of the room that he sees and wants! He has sort of started semi-crawling. He uses his arms to pull himself forward but doesn't use his legs yet. He hasn't figured how to work all those limbs together. But it will be any day now...we can just feel it! He started pushing up on his arms this past week. He will push up and lock his elbows and kind of rock back and forth. He grabs things now with just one hand where it use to always be two hands. He can also hold things with just his thumb and fingers instead of his whole hand( fingers, thumb, and palm ). He transfers things like toys from one hand to the other easily.
Hand-eye coordination: Row likes to grab his spoon while I am feeding him and I let him grab it the other day and he knows right where it goes! Even though it didn't go straight into his mouth it came pretty close. Most toys still go straight to his mouth but sometimes he will look at a toy and then bring it slowly to his eyes! It's really cute. He's not as interested in tags as he use to be but will still grab them with just his thumb and forefinger.
Evolving Communication: There are a lot of giggles in our house right now! There are lots of ways to get Rowen to laugh...peek a boo, making silly faces, and clapping while saying "yay!!" are just a few. His smiles are the sweetest thing ever. I think lately he has been trying to repeat sounds we make. If I start saying "ooo ooo", he will really study my lips and you can see him try to make an "o" with his lips. He says "ma ma ma" and ugh ugh ugh" a lot. I am trying to teach him da da da and ba ba ba. He is a chatterbox and is constantly trying to say something!
Teething: He has 6 teeth! 4 on the top and 2 on the bottom. I think he is a little ahead of the game! I love his little teeth...they are so cute :) Now I said this on the 7 month post and I was wrong BUT I don't think more teeth will be coming in for a little while now.
Foods/Eating: Rowen is such a good little eater. He loves everything! And he always gobbles up all of his food. We haven't introduced a new food in a while but I think we might introduce turnips next. He really really likes sweet potatoes, green peas, and pears. We have introduced him to quite a lot of foods all ready.
Brent and I are so blessed to truly have the best baby in the world! He is a true joy and we love him so very much! Rowen, you make the brightest days even brighter! Your smile is the most precious thing in the world. And we are so glad that you love life and love us :)
