8 months old



It was a shock to wake up this morning and realize that, 8 months ago today, we were snuggled up in bed at the birthing center adoring our brand new baby Dace. Oh how he has grown! Today he weighs in at 22.4 lbs and measures 29 inches tall. He has three teeth, his bottom front and his left upper eyetooth and his hair is growing in thicker and darker every day. He loves singing and saying dada, crawling from one end of the house to the next, chewing on his fingers or mama's slippers and simply adores cheerios, which he can successfully put in his mouth all by himself. He keeps his naps short and sweet because there is just too much to see and explore. He wins the hearts of everyone he meets, both friends and strangers. He loves giving snuggles, slobbery kisses that sometimes turn into an innocent nibble and bopping to the music. He is just such a happy, sweet little bubba. I love him more every minute I spend with him but at the same time, my heart breaks at how quickly he is growing up. We feel so blessed to have him in our lives and love being his parents.
