Cutie Pie is 8 months old today!

Every monthly update I start off by saying the same thing... I can't believe Will is 8 months old today! Time is flying bye with this little guy.

 He still has 2 bottom teeth that are extra sharp and he loves to try to chew on your finger if you let him.

 This month Will mastered sitting up on his own. Here he is in action. The first time he did it, we were in Lily's room getting her dressed before church! Andrew and Lily both did this for the first time in their cribs so got to see their proud smile but not the actual thing. Since Will is still swaddled at night he misses out on practicing his skills instead of sleeping :)

 Will has been renamed at our house his new official name is ... Cutie Pie. The full length name is William Cutie Pie Caivano. Andrew and Lily call him cutie pie all the time. If I call another baby cute, I get corrected that no baby is cute like Will. So now we refer to other babies as pretty, adorable and ect. Lily says it "puttie pie" it is so cute and Bobby got it on video so we can remember how she used to say it. Will is loved well by Andrew and Lily and he thinks that are pretty awesome too.

 Will now crawls 70% of the time and army crawls the rest. He loves to explore and find treasures around the house. He now cries in protest when you take a treasure away from him like a scrap of paper, a tiny toy and such.

 I love his open mouth excited smile.

 Will is making progress with table food.  He loves banana, cucumbers, green bell peppers, avocado, pear, and apple slices. He mainly chews on them for teething purposes, not much gets eaten. His favorite food of all right now is a rice teething biscuit he will swallow that.  He does not gave and get scared when I try to spoon feed him baby food, but he only eats about 3 tiny bits before he is done. This morning Will found a cheeto on the kitchen floor and loved that and cried when I fished it out of his mouth. The best way to describe his at the high chair is that he is not hungry, but enjoys playing and chewing on food and the spitting it out.

 Now that Will is more mobile he is so much happier throughout the day. He loves to pull up on the back door and find toys around the house. Andrew and Lily are really good at leaving stuff all over the house on the floor for him to explore :)

 On this day he happily played with the xylophone for at least 10 minutes!

Will is now pulling up to standing. He tries to do this on everything! He is always on the move and on his feet a few times he has made a step while holding on to something. If he keeps this pace up he will be cruising soon.  Slow down Will!

Sleep is still not that great many nights he forgets he is 7 months old and pretends he is a newborn waking up 3-4 times between midnight and 6 am. It is a good thing he is such a cutie pie and I love hearing his sweet baby snores and breathing.
