Zander 8 month update

Zander is 8 months old today so here's an update about him in the past month:
-He crawls all over the place!
-He can go from a crawl to a kneeling position and to a sitting position
-He pulls himself up to stand on EVERYTHING, last Monday was the first time he walked along the couch trying to get the remote.
-He crawls over to say hi to the cats and gets so excited when they let him pet him
-He crawls over to say hi to Vinnie and gets a little disapointed when Vinne gets up and walks away
-He has experienced food in the last 2 weeks but doesn't think much of it
-We tried: sweet potatos, avocado, a piece of mama's regular potato, and banana. He's gnawed on lime, celery and lemon. His favorite thing is rice crispy cereal, we hope to move on to cheerios soon so he can try picking them up himself.
-When I gave him banana(tonight) he promptly threw up.
-He's a total boobie-baby.
-He gives fives.
-He has the cutest giggle while we're tickling him, he cracks up!
-Not only does he have 3 teeth - tooth #4 and tooth #5 are coming in! I can't really let Zander chew on my fingers or hand anymore because he will bite and it hurts. But he thinks it's really funny to crawl up to my knee and bite it, it totally tickles.
-His hair is starting to come in more and he's getting some long locks of hair that curl at the back of his head like both my brothers had. I love it. I love the curls. It's still hard to tell if his hair is going to be brown, light brown or blond. It just depends how your looking at him. But I don't think he'll be a redhead as we previously thought he may be.

The other day I was reading one of the baby magazines and a mom was talking about how she journaled her daughters life and just wrote little things. I wish I had done more of the little thing journaling. One of the things she wrote was "she folds her hands together when she nurses". Zander always did that and it was so precious. I think I took a picture of it.

So the other night we were laying in bed nursing and he was cuddled up next to me with his feet on my legs. Yes, his feet hit my legs, sometimes my knees! And I love the feeling of little feet up against me. When he was little his feet would be pressing my tummy when we layed down to nurse and it reminded me of how it felt when he was inside me. I love feeling his little feet up against me.
