Jack: Eight Months On

Yes, another month has gone past and my little boy is now eight months old! It seems like just a few days ago that I was announcing my pregnancy on here, let alone his birth and then his monthly updates!

He isn't doing much more than he was doing last month, except he has a few new-found obsessions. He loves to blow raspberries and anyone within a certain distance gets covered in baby spit. He also makes a humming noise if you strum your finger across his lips and his newest thing is popping his mouth, opening it up and closing it like a goldfish.

He is constantly saying 'mamamamamama', 'dadadadada' and 'babababa' at the minute, so it shouldn't be too long until we hear a proper word. He loves balloons - so much so that I had to confiscate it yesterday before he burst it himself and started crying! He gets way too eager with them & you can see what is going to happen if you don't get involved.

He was recently given a walker by some of our friends and he grasped the concept on the first day within seconds of receiving it. However, now he kind of stumbles instead of walking along with it. He has also had fun over the past couple of weeks interacting with other babies, I wish I knew what babies talked about with all the 'babababa' talk I've heard him talking to other babies recently! He especially has a soft spot for our friends little girl Bailie, aww! 

He has developed more of an interest in books now, and seems to like it when I read to him. Also, his passport arrived the other day...He looks adorable, even if I do say so myself!

I can't believe that in just a few months, my little boy is going to turn one! It seems crazy to think of how quickly the time has gone! I've started to buy his birthday and Christmas presents already (his birthday is exactly 3 weeks before) & I'm also trying to win some lovely things too.

Do you like catching up with Jack every month? Let me know.
