We Have a Sitter

Hank...

Can sit unsupported now, and has for almost a month.
Is obsessed with walls.
Has teeth! Two front teeth on the bottom are out and two canines on top coming soon!
Loves watermelon and banana and Nutella and chocolate milk and peanut butter.

Was scared of being tossed in the air until this week, and now he suddenly loves it.
Is surprisingly good at catching a mini football.
Enjoys chewing on magnets.
Was entranced by an older gentleman's Santa beard.

Gets monkey-trapped when he wants to take Daddy's finger but hold onto his toy with the same hand at the same time. His solution was to hold onto the toy and sit down.

Loves splashing water.
Can pull himself up to standing!
Gets frustrated when things don't fit in his mouth.
Gives his daddy high-fives.
Will ALWAYS roll onto his stomach if you lay him down, even asleep.
Can army crawl (really fast!) all over the wood floor downstairs.
Sucks on his lower lip and tongue.

Makes the same sleepy noise as Brian. It is, apparently, genetic.
Also rubs his feet together the same way Brian does when he's asleep.
Develops more and more of Brian's quirks as he gets older. Yaaay.
Has the cutest toothless smile that I am gonna miss so much in a few months.

Is a clingy little monkey who gets upset whenever Mama isn't with him.
Is very independent at the same time. He doesn't like when we help him, he likes to figure things out on his own.
Is getting so tall!

Turning eight months old next week! I can hardly believe it.
