8 Months Old

On February 23, 2001, You were 8 months old.

.You loved to crawl around our apartment in Spokane Washington. Dad was in Nursing school, and took much of his time, plus he worked at Holy Family Hospital after school and doing night shifts on the weekends. We walked to friendship park a lot near the apartment, you loved the swings. Our apartment was on the first floor and we had a nice patio where you liked to pick up rock after rock and throw them, and even try to eat them.

.You loved to play in the little water pool that I filled with different things, like: dirt, rice, shredded paper, flour (but never with water because I was too afraid you would drown). And you did quite well for the most part keeping these things out of your mouth. You just love the feel of different things and I didn't mind letting you get dirty and explore this world.

.You were a super fun baby at this age. You didn't have colic and scream all the time, but you still woke up at night often.
.But the biggest thing that you loved to do was pull out all my books on our small book shelf. That would keep you entertained for hours, as long as i kept reshelving it after you pulled everything out.
