8 Months... and a week

Well here I am a week late, but here is Nolan's 8 month post.... He is learning the cause and effect of things and that it is fun to bang things together to make noise.  When you are not looking at him and he wants your attention he grunts at you.  Laughed at the TV for the first time the other day.  He pulls himself up onto EVERYTHING!  And cruses around on the couches and anything else for that matter.  He is becoming more verbal and now says bababa, de, dadda and dog.  Sometimes he will squeak out the occasional mama .  These days he prefers to fall asleep watching "His Shows" (a habit I am NOT fond of!). He still LOVES his binky.  He LOVES to be chased when he crawls.  He is OBSESSED with remotes, computers and phones.  We are FULL FORCE into separation anxiety.  Acid reflux is a persistent issue that we are still working on.  Nolan LOVES legos!  Carries them around and always has one in his mouth.  Loves to see other kids and see what they are doing.  He had his first sleep over away from mom and dad.  He LOVES doggies.  He is such a sweet boy and very interested in new things...I love spending the day with him...  He is the JOY of my life.  The past 8 months have been some of hardest but hands down, have been the best of my life!
