Walker at 8 Months

I can't believe my baby boy is 8 months old! Where has the time gone! He is getting SO FUN and seriously more adorable than I imagined.  He has also cut back on the drooling (praise the Lord) and is really "talking" babbling.  Walker is wearing 9 month, a select few 6-9 month, and 12 month clothes.  He's wearing a size 3 diaper. He's got 2 teeth (his first left upper tooth came through today, though!) on the bottom and loves to chew on anything and everything.  He's eating all kinds of foods this month. He's had squash, sweet potatoes, apples, blueberries, raspberries, pears, carrots, plums, prunes, green peas, and of course his oatmeal cereal.  He loves everything so far! He is so excited about eating that he doesn't have as much interest in his bottles, which is proving to be a bit of a problem. He's waking up a little more at night than before, maybe up to 3 times, to eat because (of hunger) he is only taking like 3-5 whole bottles throughout each day.  His bottles are 6 oz each and he takes half of them as breast milk and half of them as Similac formula.  Walker really started touching peoples faces as they talk with him, cooing, smiling, and laughing at other people this month.  He weighs in at a whopping 20 pounds on the mark and is 25 3/4 inches long.  He can say a "D", "B", "T", "L" "MMM" sounds.  He was lucky and blessed to stay at home (except for those 2 pesky months in the NICU) with his mama and then his CC until he turned 8 months, and has started to daycare on 5/28/14! More on that later.  Now for pictures!
