Cupcakes: 8 months

What an amazing month for Beckett! Last month he was on the verge of a lot and this month it all came together! (The cupcakes are no longer safe. There's at least two casualties a month.)

At 8 months the Beck-a-roo is:

• Crawling EVERYWHERE, as fast as he can, wherever he wants to
• Standing up everywhere, as fast as he can, wherever he wants to, sometimes he forgets that he's standing up and lets go and stands by himself for a second or two.
• We have named him Yo-Graba-Graba. If it's anywhere NEAR his reach he's grabbing it. Even when you think he forgot about it. He didn't. And he's going to get it.
• On a one man personal campaign to eat all of the door stopper thingies in the house. He wakes up in the morning on this mission. If you put him down he knows EXACTLY where the closest one is and makes a laser beam focus sprint over to it. 

• Still not saying much, but making LOTS of teradactyl squealie noises.
• Is eating and eating and eating and eating. They were right about boys and their appetites. He eats three times a day and is still taking bottles every 3-4 hours. He still prefers organic food only, please and REALLY likes table food best. Blackberries are VERY popular. So are carbs. Guess he fits in well =) When he's REALLY excited about his food he holds his arms out wide and makes happy feet by banging his feet together. 

• Drinking from a sippie cup

• Has "officially" moved to the big boy bath (I can still squeeze one in the baby bathtub when I'm lazy but usually end up soaking everything in the bathroom)

• Has decided that blowing raspberries on your leg is about the funniest thing ever. 

• This game is a close second. He'll even do it himself to try and get you to do it. 

• Goes to sleep by himself, IN HIS CRIB! BY HIMSELF!!!!! (I am SO excited about this one) 
• Still has absolutely ZERO desire to snuggle, read books, sing songs, or play with a toy. He's getting door knobber thingies, standing up, jumping, or grabbing something and eating it. Those four things make up a pretty good day. 
• I've never seen him do this again, but it's just funny =)
