EIGHT!

Will is 8 months old today...I say this every month, but it is so hard to believe!! He is just as cute as ever (even in those questionable orange and blue colors that have appeared in his wardrobe a lot now that football is here)!
-Will still just has those 2 teeth in the middle on bottom. We are wondering when more are going to appear.
-He squinches his nose when he smiles or laughs and it will melt your heart in 2 seconds. It is absolutely adorable!!
-He babbles all the time, but has yet to say a word.
-He is still VERY ticklish on the sides of his ribs and giggles so hard that it takes his breath away.
-We are sure he weighs at least 22 lbs now...we need to weigh him to confirm this, but he is a chunk! He wears mostly 12 months clothes-only a few of his 9month things fit him.
-He has started to shriek and scream...John says it sounds like a terydactyl. It is so high pitched and once he starts it is hard to get him to stop. We think he just likes to hear his own voice. See the picture below. So animated!
We went to Botannical Gardens today to have his picture taken. It will be a few weeks before they are ready to preview but I can't wait to see how he did. He was so good, just more interested in the grass and the pine straw than smiling for the camera. John and I looked like 2 crazy people making animal sounds and screaming his name right behind the photographer trying to get him to look :)
Here is some of that orange and blue I was talking about. Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Mary got him some super cool kicks. He looks so grown up in these pictures...this is why I rarely put him in shorts!

We had the EXACT same experience today with pictures! Trent just wanted to eat/play with grass, and I was sweating like crazy by the time it was over. We were so loud and crazy that the sweet couple trying to enjoy a picnic gave up and went home. Happy to hear that my child is not the only one unamused by the camera:)
