Leo is 8 Months Old!

Leo is 8 months old!!

 Leo is such a fun baby.  He now goes from sitting up to leaning forward to all fours.  He also somehow is able to scoot all over the place.  He grabs and reaches for everything and continues to babble a lot.  Sometimes he even says, "Mamamama" though I am not sure he means Mom yet.  He also seems to be a "contagious" laugher- whenever someone else is laughing, he starts to laugh too.   And there is one guy who really makes him laugh them most... he was also my helper to get Leo to smile in these pictures: 

Leo loves eating food now and his favorites seem to be blueberries, bananas, sweet potatoes, and apple sauce.  He is still waking us up at night but has had some longer stretches of sleeping.  He is becoming such a fun baby with a lot of personality.  He is super ticklish, is very cuddly, and has an awesome laugh.   And he looks a little like someone... we can't quite put our finger on it...

Leo loves to eat:

 Most days when we sit him down anywhere, we find him like this about 2 seconds later:

  And while Leo is busy growing and laughing, Teddy continues to make me laugh.  

And this little video sums up one thing: why I can never get anywhere on time:

 At least I have material to blackmail him with later if I need it!

We started a music class last month (I won a free semester) and the boys and I have really had a great time at the classes.  We love our teacher Mrs. Beth and the class is really a lot of fun.   During class, Teddy sings along, gets to play with instruments, and does the hand movements while Leo bounces and coo's (when he isn't napping).  The coolest thing though is when Teddy randomly starts singing songs from class and I realize he knows all the words!  Or when he starts making up his own words.  Here I caught him singing on tape:

Happy 8 months Leo! We can't imagine our family with out you!
