B is growing up so fast...

Barrett will be 8 months old on the 21st :(. It's good but it's kind of sad. He had a few "firsts" tonight. He took a big-boy bath. He sat all by himself in the tub, without the infant tub. He loved getting to splash and play! I got him a bath toy from WalMart that is a little star that flashes blue and sprays water. It was so cute but honestly, he didn't really care about it :/. After his bath, he wore some big-boy pajamas, since he's basically too big now to wear the one piece pajamas. Such a happy boy :).

I got him a few old-fashioned toys too, which he LOVES more than his high-tech toys. Here's a picture of his new toys. Who can live without a ring stacker and the wire toy with beads that you can move around?! Not to mention...a cabbage patch doll?

The cabbage patch doll was mine when I was little. I gave it to him this morning and he gave it kisses...so sweet.

I also got him some Gerber Puffs at WalMart to try as his first real solid food....all I know is that they need to make these things in adult versions! They are soooo good!

Needless to say, Barrett loved them too. We gave him one to see how he would do. He gagged a little but worked it out. I was too worried about him choking so we put a handful in this little thing we got at Target. The handle is for him to hold and the left blue part is mesh.

He loved getting to feed himself and all of the Puffs eventually melted and he ate them all. He's on a "mama" kick lately. He wants me alot and says "mama" all the time, especially when he's upset...it's good to know he considers me to be the one that consoles him. Here's a picture from last night. I love when he loves on me!

I can't believe how grown-up he's getting. He still hates being on his stomach so I don't make him do it anymore. He immediately goes to crying and holding his breath and it kills me. If he just cries a little, I'll leave him but what's the point? Yeah, it may make him stronger and he'll learn to crawl but he'll work it out eventually anyways. Right now, he's loving his Jumperoo and sitting in the floor playing with random toys. We've had a problem with him sleeping lately so we tried his pack n' play in his room. It worked! I have no idea what the difference is to him but obviously, there is one. It went from getting up 4 to 6 times a night to getting up maybe once. Thank goodness! Speaking of, I better go to sleep! I've become such a night owl lately and I need to break that habit! Good night everyone!
