Eight Months

Well it's here... my precious boy is eight months old. I'm going to stop saying time flies... that is an understatement at this point.
Landon is doing wonderfully! This little boy is constantly on the go, I swear I've lost five pounds just trying to keep up with him! He is crawling all over the place and is very fast. He LOVES to walk! Wether he walks along the sides of the couch, ottoman, chairs, holding your hands or he is pushing his walking toy - he much prefers to be walking, which is surreal!
He gives the BEST hugs and his wet messy kisses melt my heart! He still says ball, Gubbie (our dog Gabbie) and Memme/Mama. We're working on some new words but nothing has come out quite yet. His laugh is contagious and he finds so many things to be hilarious. When the dogs sneeze he literally falls over laughing, I have to try and get it on video! He'll also grab my feet when I'm sitting on the couch and turn away quickly, sometimes laughing so hard he falls down! He cracks me up!
He has become a serious mama's boy. The separation anxiety has definitely set in. He plays really good independently and I can leave a room with no problem. But when we are in a setting with a lot of people and he loses sight of me, he's not a happy boy :(
We have been co-sleeping since he was about two months old. I'm not sure why we started at two months but he has been sleeping with me ever since. I have recently decided that co-sleeping is no longer practical. There's the part where he is so mobile he could easily crawl right off the bed, then there's also the part where I have been woken up by him hitting me in the head with a remote, stuffed animal or just his open fist banging away. Once I come to I can't help but laugh - but in all seriousness this baby needs to sleep in his crib! Wish me luck on that fun venture!
First Birthday parties are in full swing! We have been to quite a few already and the invitations keep rolling in! I can't wait (but I really can) for Landon's first Birthday. I have figured out the theme and am working on putting it all together!
In other news we will be trying solids again this week. I am excited for him to be able to eat as I think he is definitely ready to explore real food, but am anxiety ridden as well. I do not want my baby back in the hospital! Fingers crossed all goes well and we can find him some safe foods!
Hope you are all enjoying your weekend!
