Wilder's 8 months old--wow. that went fast.

ALL ABOUT WILDER!!!!

Wilder is changing so quickly! Even as I'm with him all day, every day (how blessed we are!), I still catch the changes, even some of the small ones.

Like today. When he looked at me, I felt like he really looked into my eyes ("oh, that's Mommy; she's cool).

He's my string bean cuddle critter and he makes me so happy!!

Some highlights:

~rolls around like a pop can down a hill; he gets into position like he's going to crawl-almost there!
~adding to his taste palette-he now has dinners of turkey/rice, chicken/noodles, etc. I've grown quite fond of the Gerber fruit he gets to eat, too. But that may be another posting.
~has said about 3 consonants. His favorite is "bah"
~loves books; smacks them, turns the pages, chews on them ~sits for long periods of time unassisted
~walks if someone holds his hands ~stands against furniture, with assistance
~claps
~laughs uncontrollably--especially when we tickle his armpits
~sits in his stroller like a big boy (no more baby seat inserted!)
~eats the dissolvable puff snacks
~getting the hang of the sippy cup
~weaning from breast milk like a champ
~sleeps on his tummy 1/2 the time
~if he had a tooth, you'd know by now!
~loud noises/crowds don't alarm him as they used to
~he's such a cool person
