8 months

So, I haven't posted an update on Sullivan lately. We've been having computer issues.

My baby boy turned 8 months old recently. Has it really been that long since we picked him up from the hospital? Time sure flies through the baby years, so sad. He's changing continually.

-Has 2 bottom teeth.
-Gives high 5's.
-Started crawling the day after he turned 6 months old. Now he's a pro and very quick!
-Screams like a Mandrake. He loves to use his voice in different ways. He growls, screams, sings. It is adorable, especially when these noises come with different facial expressions.
-Saw his birthmom/family twice. He also met his birth great grandpa for the first time.
-Shakes his head "yes" and "no". It is probably just me, but I swear he knows when I ask him if he wants his ba-ba because he shakes his head yes (well, more like shakes his whole body yes) and when he doesn't want something he immediately shakes his head no.
-Waved bye-bye once. We are still working on this. When we try, he usually just laughs at us...guess we look silly.
-Watches sports with his Dad. Actually he is a complete Daddy's boy and when Jeff walks in the door from work, Sullivan is attached to him.
-He hates to sit still and is a busy baby. He also loves to watch anything moving...people walking, cars driving etc.,.
-He's cruisin a ton, he especially loves to walk around this table in a circle. And, he is starting to stand by himself for a few seconds with our prompting.


A friend of Kylee (Sullivan's birthmom)drew this portrait of Sullivan...how cool is that! He did such a good job and I really love all the detail, especially in the shirt/clothing. I am sure this photo of the real thing doesn't do it justice. What a great guy to put so much time and effort into something that Kylee will treasure and love forever.

That is a great drawing of him. He is sure a cute boy.
