Yay for a two day weekend

After weekend after weekend with not near enough time with my little sweet pea, I just declared this Cullen weekend. It is all about you, baby. You are just the cutest and most fun thing ever. Cutest. Ever. You have become so popular that the daycare teachers who relieve your normal teachers for breaks come to visit you in the morning! So mama needs to get in on this and enjoy more Cullen time. So even though I "should" have worked this weekend, I'm taking time to enjoy baby boy.

At 8 months, here's what you're up to. You LOVE to throw things. Anything that goes in those hands is getting thrown. Your favorite toy is Ozarka water bottles. Ozarka is the best because it's extra squishy and makes lots of noise when you bite down on it. You are almost crawling. You get on all fours, but then you realize this is much too close to being on your stomach, which you still hate. So you drop to your tummy and roll over. But you love to stand. You will pull up on anything. You LOVE the dogs. There is nothing that makes you laugh like those dogs. You seem to like veggies more than fruit, so I'm hoping this means you didn't inherit your mama's sweet tooth. You have TONS of energy, and you love to grab things. When we take you to restaurants we have to make sure we keep you a safe distance from the table. There have already been a few accidents, but we do the best we can. So far they haven't kicked us out yet, though I am very sensitive to the dirty looks from the people who don't have kids. You are SO inquisitive. You are constantly leaning over to get a good look at something that interests you. Your teacher says you are the most curious baby in your class. You are also very affectionate with the baby girls. Well, one in particular. You love Charlie, and no matter where you start out at the beginning of the day, it doesn't take long before you and Charlie are next to each other. You are very sweet to her. You make friends everywhere you go. You have a smile for everyone, and make everyone feel special. You're a big flirt! You are very squirmy, but you still let mom rock you to sleep every night. And that is still the best part of my day. You are such a joy.
