Thomas at 8 months

This guys is a really happy baby, especially when he is with Mom. 8 months has flown by already and he has brought us much joy. Here is Thomas in a nutshell:

He is sitting up on his own
He crawls and goes from crawling to sitting and back again frequently
The crawling was a half crawl, belly flop for most of the month of August, but on August 28th he really took off
He still does not love the bottle, although we have had a little success with very watered down juice
He still takes the soothie pacifier, mostly just to sleep
He has two middle teeth on the bottom
He can really laugh
He has learned the art of the fake cough and pretty much crawls around doing it all day.
he is eating all kinds of food, mostly table food. He started turning his nose up at baby foods not too long ago and it is just easier to feed him from my plate. He loves yogurt, cottage cheese, bananas, and bread.
he can still wear some six month clothes, but he is also in some nine months
he is taking baths in the regular old tub. He is slippery and slidy, but he seems to have a ton of fun in there.
He can finally pick up puffs in his own hands and get them into his mouth. Score!
He loves his big brothers and they love him. They have only had smiles for each other so far.
Max can get a little over the top with him sometimes, so I have to watch those two, especially when Max is in a goofy mood.
