We are two weeks into summer break and little Sam is officially 8 months old (on his sister's birthday.) This has been a very eventful month in the Burtram house for sure. I look forward to the rest of the summer and all the new tricks I will get to see Sam accomplish while I am home. Here's a running list of common practices at our house these days:
- He held his first cicada. (and last for another 13 years, they are gone now)
- He got his first tooth and then a second one week later.
- He began crawling everywhere!
- He can pull up and cruise around the furniture.
- He went swimming in the river at CedarRock (or at least dipped his toes; the water was cold)
- He speaks all kinds of jibberish words.
- He lets me rock him to sleep (I'm gonna have a cuddler yet!)
- He bangs his toys together over. and over. and over.
- He can clap his hands when you sing to him.
- He can play peek-a-boo and will chase us around every corner of the house.
- He reaches for me when he wants me to pick him up.
- He has a strange attraction to ostrich eggs.
- He can stand up in his bed, and he grabs the rails and shakes them. I can almost hear him saying, "Get me out of jail!"
As for some 8 month old pictures, here's a few I took today while we got the baby pool out.
(Thanks Nani, we love it!)
And, how does a super mom know when water fun is over????
