8 months

Yesterday, our little Joey turned 8 months old. I wish I took a picture of him on that day, but i forgot... so here's one from the day before where he was lunging at me. We actually went to the doctor on his 8 month b-day because I noticed he was pulling on his ears and had a cold a few days ago. No ear infection, but they took his weight. He is 27lb 5oz. I should try to get his length tomorrow morning.

 

And here's Mario after that birthday party I told you about on Monday. You can see his new Doc Hudson car on the step behind him. I'm was proud of the way Mario handled himself today when we had to leave the Franzonello's house. Normally he screams and whines when we have to leave Tony's house. But I talked with him about that before hand (we always talk about this before and after we visit them). But this time he made his sad face (the one where I know he's being honest) and said "But I'm sad when I leave Tony's house" so we talked about that more. Well anyway, this time when we left, he pouted for a little bit, but was able to walk out the door on his own without tears. He was also so exhausted from the fun he had that he didn't follow me out of his room when I put him to bed. He's been consistently good about that with his dad, but only recently getting better with me. Hopefully the next trip we go on in a few weeks won't set us back in the falling asleep department again.
