Wilson James

Wilson James Grothe is 8 months today. That is so hard to believe! We woke up to snow all over the ground and it has been snowing all day since. You never know what you are going to get around here. It will probably be 70 degrees tomorrow.

Back to Wilson. Some memories I want to keep locked away of my darling little man:
* How loves to dance to any type of music. If he is sitting, his torso, arms and head are all bouncing around. If you are holding him his entire body is moving in a syncopated flail. It is really funny to watch
* He bangs his hands on the highchair causing any of his food that remains on the tray to flop around like fish out of water
* He lets you feed him food, but he always wants something on his tray that he can feed himself too.
* The noises he makes are so "boyish." I am not sure how else to describe it, but I feel like there is a significant difference in the noises he creates at this age compared to the ones Lillian made at this age.
*He rolls around all over the place to get where he wants. He leans over and gets in the crawling position only to land on his tummy and move his arms and legs like he is trying to swim.
* He loves his jumper that hangs in the door. He gets excited as soon as he sees me hang it up.
* He ADORES his big sister and she adores him! They are so excited to see each other in the morning and after naps.
* He basically skipped right over baby food. He doesn't like it. For weeks Daniel and I tried to get him to eat it only to have all of us become frustrated. Since he started eating "big people" food, he pounds it and he is the last one to be done at meal time! I have kind of felt bad, thinking my sweet boy has been starving.
* He is now sleeping through the night!!
*Socks are constantly being pulled off. I am glad the weather is getting warm enough that people will not think I am bad mom if my son is out of the house with no socks.
* He is sooo content and smiley! I love him so much. Daniel and I are so blessed to have our darling little guy as a gift from God.

Thats it for now. Daniel may have more he wants to add later.
