8 months!!

Thomas turned eight months old on the 6th. Month 7 was a HUGE month for T-baby. We went to several Christmas parties, met Santa, wrapped (and unwrapped) lots of presents, and had our first Christmas with a child. December really was magical. Even with the fireworks.

Thomas weighs about 18.5 pounds, wears 9 month clothes, and size 3 diapers. I'm not sure how long he is but some 9-month pants are too short.... He wears 12-24 month socks! He still has just two teeth. He babbles and sings (and does some screaming) all day long. His absolute favorite new thing to do is swing. The infant swings are a little roomy for him so we have to add some padding, but he loves it! He also went to a Saints game! The Saints lost but so it goes...

He's been working on crawling and drinking out of a sippy cup. He hasn't mastered either, but he sure likes trying!

Thomas also started solid foods this month! His first food was the delectable green pea. By the third or fourth day, he liked it! He also tried butternut squash before we decided that his little digestive system wasn't ready for food and stopped for a couple weeks.
