Deacon 8 Months

My sweet little baby is really growing up way to fast. 8 months old already!! In the last month Deacon has become a speedy little crawler following mommy all around the house. Curiously getting into absolutely everything. He is also beginning to enjoy a larger variety of foods. He really wanted Jacob to share his doughnut at Meijers today. Needless to say Jason called it a bad mommy moment feeding both my kids a doughnut in the store. Deacon really wants to be into everything his big brother is into as well. This makes for a few more challenges for mommy to break up all the brotherly squabbles that occur.

Other changes are that Deacon has been working on getting his 2 bottom teeth, making him a little fussier than normal. Jason also cut Deacon's hair on Easter. It's not perfect but Jason tried hard. Maybe next time Deacon will go to Body Perfections with his Daddy and his big brother. Deacon has also been going through a little separation anxiety making mommy feel bad for leaving him for more than a few seconds. This also makes him have a little trouble getting himself to sleep in his own crib. I guess that means mommy and daddy get lots of extra snuggle time from our little guy.

Deacon has blessed our lives with a whole new pace in life. He reminds us that life is so precious and we should enjoy each day with our beautiful little boys. It gets so easy to just be tired as parents and forget how blessed we are to have healthy children. Having both our kids sick last week allowed Jason and I to really snuggle with the kids and reminded us that someday they wont be this little and when they are sick they wont want us to cuddle them this way. We thank God daily for blessing us with our little boys!!!
