Crawling across Utah.... 8 months

How did you grow up so fast?! Where did the time go? So... you started crawling at the end of 7 months. But now you are full blown crawling! You're crazy! You're moving all over the place, so curious, and you love everything but your toys... mostly all of the things that aren't for babies. But that's ok. Momma's got her hawk  eyes out on you, all eyes on deck! How can I not?! So happy you're growing healthy and figuring out things for yourself and becoming independent...kind of sad, for me. We love you to pieces! A couple days after you turned 8 months old, we left for Utah on the 18th. It was loads of fun. We woke up at 4am and got to the little bitty airport here in Augusta, and they gave away our seats so we had to drive to the ATL airport and got to Utah at 5pm. What was supposed to be a 4 hour trip quickly doubled/tripled so very quickly. Momma was not happy. But man were you a trooper.

We had all sorts of fun in Utah. You had ready made baby food for the first time! You loved it! Somehow every flavor kind of tasted the same... like applesauce. You gave a sour face for a second, and then you made a face like you were choking, it was great.... no, it was scary. But you got the hang of it. Mommy always made your food a lil on the milky side, so you had to get used to the consistency. Now you eat a lot of stuff! You might even be ready to feed yourself! I made homemade applesauce for you and you loved it! I made carrots the other day and man were you cute!

And then we went four wheeling, but without you... I begged for you to go, but when we got there I realized it was probably a good idea that you didn't on this one. The trails were very steep and we almost tipped over several times. We went while we stayed down at Grandma and Grandpa Kings house down in Centerfield Utah with Uncle Stuart and Aunt Kandis Grandpa King and all the Shiflet/Kern clan!

So much fun! And we definitely hung out  with the fam! Here's sunday dinner at Great Gpa Galli's house!

So  much fun!

We had so much fun in Utah! We didn't want to leave! We loved seeing and being with family! On our last day we went to your Aunt Rachel's baby shower for baby Mason. So cute! So much fun! Auntie Kandis had so much fun with you. After all, last time you saw her was the 4th of July and you were so tired so you had crabby pants all day and were not very fun then.... But today was a new day! And you had a blast!

This is your yellow chevron blankie... you love it. You will not sleep without it!

Utah was fun! But we were also glad to be home; to not be living out of suitcases, sleep in our beds, and be back on a routine. But man do we miss our families and everyone we love! We will see them so soon though! It's hard to believe in a couple weeks you will be 9 months old... I will cry. What's new. And then you will get shots, and my heart will be sad for you...ugh! You're just my whole world! STOP. GROWING.

Just kidding! Love you baby boy!
