January: Shea is 8 months old!!

I'm so bad at updating regularly....so sorry. Shea has been a real handful lately and I don't ever get the time to sit down for too long. Well, Shea is now 8 months old (actually he has two more days until he is officially 8 months old but oh well). All the pictures and videos I posted are from December through January. The videos show alot of his progress from starting to crawl to standing which is where he is at now. It's amazing that he learned to stand in 10 minutes and progressed from that to walking along things he could hold onto within 2 days. Right now he NEVER stops moving while he is awake. He also whines ALL day long. He gets into everything, destroys everything, and pulls everything out to play with. He has had teeth coming in every month. He has a total of seven now. I'm hoping that very soon he will start to say "mama" or "dada". He seems to like to mimic sounds people make but no actually words come out yet. The other day he got ahold of my hair while I was playing with him and I started screaming "ow, ow, ow!" and he repeated it back to me and then laughed at himself. His doctor says he is extremely healthy and making excellent progress. He is still in the 95th percentile for his weight (which means he is very large) and he is in the 75th percentile for his height. I think he now weighs 22lbs and is 27 inches long. We have absolutely no problems with his eating habits and he prefers veggies (especially the darkest green mixed vegetables) over any fruit.


So the pictures get older as you scroll down. These first couple are from our friends house where Shea's future wife lives. That's her in the first picture...her name is Riley.








Shea loves his Mickey Ears!

Christmas photos!!





























This was his attitude at the Sprint store....you can imagine what that was like in a store full of people. Geez. Unfortunately for me, this is just about how he acts all day despite the cute, happy photos of him. =)
