I am 8 months old!!!

I am 8 months old today and couldn't be happier!  Yeah! 

Here is what I have been up to:

• I am getting over a cold...been very stuffy (see picture below when I wasnt feeling good)! 
• Still only 2 bottom teeth but mommy and daddy can see the top ones are on their way!
• I am starting to push myself backwards on my tummy and....
• I figured out that I can pull my legs up to my tummy and Mommy and Daddy said I am getting ready crawl.  In fact, when mommy helps me push up my arms, I start rocking back and forth on my hands and knees...soon I will be on the move!
• Apparently, I am also able to find my paci in my sleep as Mommy said it was down by my feet when she checked in on me at 3am this morning and when I woke up at 6:30 am, she said it was in my mouth.
• I have a lovey...I love my fuzzy blanket!  Mommy and Daddy wish I was old enough to sleep with it all the time but she said the doctors and experts say it isn't safe yet.

Mommy and Daddy are picking out a new car seat for me.  I am ready for a big guy car seat.  Mommy has been doing lots of research to pick out just the right one.  So we are hoping to get my new ride on Sunday!  We are going to a baby store (Babies R Us) to pick something out.  Mommy also said we need to get some more baby proofing done since I am soon on the move. 

Not many pictures but we wanted to get my update posted today since it is such a big day!

Also, Mommy took some video (hope you can see the video below) with Daddy's phone of me being silly late one night this week...the picure quality isn't good but listen to me laugh!  Turn up your volume!!!  Mommy was tossing a soft colorful ball at me and it made me laugh.  Hope you do too!

Will write again soon and have more pictures!

Love you!
