8 Months! (....and 7....and 6.....)

Finn had his monthly photo shoot this morning. 8 months! How is that possible? Then I downloaded the pictures and got on here to post and realized that I never posted the 6 or 7 month ones. So, I will not keep you in suspense any longer. I'll post the 6, 7, and 8 month all together. What a slacker I've become!

Here's a very sweet little 6 month old:

 Is this Matt's hair or what?!?

And here is a very mischievous little 7 month old. Finn was not in a happy mood on this day and also wasn't in the mood to sit still in the bouncy seat holding a blue "7". 

 This is the first (and best) one we got!

 Sitting straight up

 Showing off my strong legs!

 Using the 7 as a weapon against myself

 Now trying to shoot mommy and aunt Dody with it....

 We tried something different, but still no smile

 Doesn't this look like a portrait from Sears? I don't know why...I think it's the lighting? Ha!

When props attack

 "Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and get outta here. Y'all aren't payin' me enough for this." 

And today, here is our big 8 month old boy! I mean, I know he's mine and all so I'm admittedly biased, but I think this kid just gets better looking by the day! Look at those eyes!

I have been trying so hard to get a picture of his new teeth (he has 4 now!), but he doesn't love showing them off. He does however love grinding them together, which makes my skin crawl! See if you can sorta see them in this next one. I made it extra big.

Here he is showing off a few more of his tricks. What a talented guy. 

Matt was here to help elicit a smile this time, so we had no trouble with that.

 "Dad stop! You're killin' me!"

So that's our big guy.  He was 16 lbs. 9 oz. at his 6 month check-up. Still in 25th percentile for weight but in the 60% for length. His current favorite things are baths (he stays in every night until he's officially a prune), sweet potatoes (well, any and all food actually), and crawling all over the house. He rocked on all fours for a few days and then one day, he was OFF! Now he is a maniac and I know it will only get worse. He already enjoys pulling up on things and loves nearly giving me a heart attack by putting random household items in his mouth. I thought it would be eons until I had to baby proof the house! Time flies.

Since it has been a while since I posted I have lots of pictures of our recent adventures that I will try to get up this week. We had an awesome holiday weekend....4 days of daddy plus a big-time bonus, cousin Jess came to visit!
