Loves:
- his jolly jumper! He can litteraly spend hours in that thing! If he is cranky, we poop him in and he's happy as a clam :)
- crawling. He loves to be moving, just like his sister did at this age. He can sit up on his own, however he rarely does it because he wants to move!
- kisses. We spend a lot f ime kissing those cheeks, and he loves it :)
- his big sister. He loves Nola so much! The way he loks at her is awesome. The best part? Nola loves him too! They play together so well...at least for now. I'm sure once Robbie can stand up for himself, that will change quickly.
- eating! He has a huge appetite and he will eat darn near anything in sight!

Dislikes:
- getting his face wiped. He cries somethin fierce when I come at him with a face cloth! It doesn't help that he has been sick and has a perma-runny nose.

What's new:
- Crawling! He has been army crawling since the middle of April, but on Sunday he finally did the traditional crawl. And boy, he's fast.
- stairs...oh boy. He can climb the stairs. He climbs into the kitchen, he cries, I put him back in the living room, he climbs into the kitchen, he cries...well, you get it.
- sitting up. He can sit up on his own. I don't exactly know when this started because he doesn't do it too often. He'd rather be moving around!
- bottle feeding. About a month ago, Robbie started biting me while he ate. After it happened a few times, I talked to my Dr about it and he suggested I put him on the bottle. I didn't want to, so I kept nursing and kept getting bit. Finally, about a week ago, he bit me so darn hard I got tears in my eyes. So, on to a bottle he went. At first I was sad, but I bond just as well with a bottle as I do nursing. And 8 months is a pretty good stretch, in my opinion. He is happy and so am I :)

Mommy loves:
- his facial expresions. Oh my, he gets the BEST looks on his face! The picture I used for this post is a typical Robbie face. He also does a Klingon face, where he srunches up his nose. When he is happy, his whole face lights up!! When he cries, even his eyebrows are sad. He is so amazingly cute!
- snuggles. He is active, so snuggles only happen when he is going to sleep or if he is sick. I love rocking him to sleep. I am enjoying each night because before I know it, he'll be big like Nola and won't want to snuggle to sleep.
- watching Nola and Robbie play. Nola is such a little Mother, bringing him toys, giving him hugs and kisses, and telling him it's okay when he's crying.
- watching him explore! Now thats he's mvng around so well, the world is his oyster!
