Eight Months Old

Hello Everyone!! I am now Eight Months Old!! I weigh 20.8 pounds and I'm 27 inches long. I am now eating to solid meals a day, mommy has finally gotten me to eat oatmeal. I didn't like it much before but I do now. I also love vegetables. I had a lot of first over the past month, once again. I flew to New York as you know, I've become somewhat of a pro at flying, and I got to stay in the house Daddy grew up in. I also got to meet almost all of daddy's family. I met my Great Aunts Elaine, Judie, and Patty, my Uncle Adam and Aunt Meghan, my Aunt Kathy and two of my cousins, Cole and McKenzie. I met a lot of other people too, Nana & Papa liked to show me off like Grandma & Grandpa Carls did. I got to go on my first "real" long distance road trip, that turned into an adventure. Nana, Papa, mommy and I were driving from Buffalo to Washington DC area, and Papa made a mistake with gas/mileage calculations and we ran out!! We had to wait on the side of the road somewhere in Pennsylvania, but we made our flight, so mommy and I could get home to daddy. I was happy to see daddy, I smiled the first time I saw him. He sure missed mommy and I. Daddy couldn't believe how much I had grown. Mommy was really proud of me, I did great on another long flight, slept most of the 8 hours. Within a few days of us getting home, I decided I wanted to crawl, so I started and haven't stopped since. I'm always on the go. Some of my firsts this month have been: first time on a school bus, the one Nana drives, I went in the snow, and I LOVED it, I ate peas, didn't love them, (that's the funny face picture you'll see down below), we had our first Thanksgiving as a family of 3, I met Santa, and of course I started crawling. I love to be silly and laugh. Now that I can go, I try to get Jonesy and Allie more. The always run from me, they don't like me chasing them. I'm also sleeping in my own room, in my own bed now. Mommy & Daddy started putting me to bed, before I was even asleep and let me cry myself to sleep. I didn't like it, and it took me a little more than an hour of crying before I would give in. I sleep pretty good in my bed though, anywhere from 7-8 hours straight, then I usually like to eat a little, and then I'll go back to sleep for a few hours. Well, I hope you enjoyed the updates this month, enjoy the photos and I'll be back soon enough. Love, Greyson
