8 months?

I didn't forget to take pictures, I've just been playing too much with this little man to blog lately and so I haven't put up his 8 month pics. So, before he actually turns 9 months, here he is at 8 months.

There are no words to describe the feeling I get in my heart (and stomach) when I look at this child! Its an overwhelming feeling of love that I just can't describe. But, I don't have to because I know all you moms know exactly what I'm talking about right?...I mean when you look at your own kids, not Sam. (but you can love Sam too)

I love how those little feet still go together like this (below)

AND...look who's crawling! My life will NEVER be the same! I wish so badly I would have got out the video and taped his first version of his crawl, it was pretty much the cutest thing I've ever seen (but of course, everything about this child is the cutest thing I've seen). I got a video of him in transition to normal crawling though, I'll have to figure out how to post that....when I have a few hours to figure it out. (I think this is my latest favorite picture, those eyes and that cute little mouth melt my heart)

Every time Sam and I go out, we get stopped by random strangers who want to ask about my baby or tell me how cute he is (even though, I'm pretty sure they tell EVERY Mom that her baby is cute, I'll still take it!) and I think its happens more in places where there aren't as many babies as there are in Utah. :) - Anyhow, lately I've been getting the "Oh, I can tell he's crawling because his knees are all red" comments. and they in deed are always red. And his hands and feet are dirty because he crawls on my kitchen floor and I can NOT seem to keep it clean enough no matter WHAT I do. So, I've just decided that it's easier to "mop" my boy than it is to "mop" my floor five times a day.
