Abram turned 8 months old this week.
I find myself frequently wishing I could stop time.
I love to peek in on him when he's sleeping and look at his little fingers and toes sticking through the crib slats, his eyelashes, his little nose and cheeks...and I think,
"...wait, this is my baby? And he's 8 months?"
I'm totally loving being a mother. I feel so blessed to have him in our family.
Lately:
-He scoots forward on his bum by bouncing up and down.
-He dives forward (slowly) from the sitting to superman.
-He rolls all over (I have to pin him down while I change his diaper).
-He loves, loves, loves keys and phones.
-He also loves reading books...mostly due to my amazing sound effects (Ben's come in a close 2nd), and he loves turning the pages. If he gets tired of the one we're reading, he hangs his arms over the arm of the chair and looks at the pile of other books, and then we switch. :)
-More people are saying he looks like both Ben and me instead of just Ben...interesting.
-When he's tired (and calm), he likes to snuggle and rest his head on my shoulder before his nap. (...the moments when I want to stop time...when he starts kindergarten or graduates high school, I know I'll look back on these days and wonder where they went!)
-He still has a calm and content personality, but we definitely know when he's excited about something!
-We say, "Abram, kisses!" (when in the right mood), and he'll give us "kisses" on the cheek (an open-mouthed slobber mark).
-He loves it when Ben comes home. Even after the initial greeting, he keeps tabs on where Ben's at and watches his every move. :)
-We're about to join the cheerio club at church because we're starting finger foods!
How I love my sweet boy.

He's just so cute and growing up so fast! I still sometimes have to pin Kenzie down when I change her diaper, haha. Can't wait until she's pottytrained! She's in the habit of tearing off her pants and diapers, which isn't too fun.
He's so sweet and I love those chubby little legs! I've been wishing time would speed up so Emma would get her, but thinking of her being that big makes me sad. I guess you just have to enjoy them in all the stages, and Abram is definitely in an adorable stage!
He does look more and more like you. You and Ben mix REALLY well :) He is so handsome. Give him lots of hugs and kisses before he doesn't want them anymore!
Wow, look at all that hair... it definately makes him look older!
He's a cutie-I love all of his hair!! It is crazy to think Cole will be doing those things in just 2 months, he seems so much younger to me.
