8 Months old!-

I haven't been very good at blogging about Hugo's monthly accomplishments and even this post is a week late since Hugo turned 8 months last Saturday. whoops!


Hugo currently is:

-Crawling...as noted in the post below
-Pulling himself up to standing position
-babbling like crazy (he's been doing this for awhile)
-dancing (especially to that car commercial with Eminem's Lose Yourself song on it)
-Clapping toys together to discover sounds
-eating solids, but doesn't really like it quite yet


Hugo lovessss

-Being with mommy
-Trying to pet the dog
-Anything that rattles
-Pulling his high chair around the kitchen (I think he likes the scraping noise?)
-balls
-using all of his six teeth to gnaw on anything!
-big boy baths in the tub
-showers with mom
-playing with his hair!! There's so much of it now on top and he just reaches up and plays with it. It's very soft.
-being tickled
-spoons

Hugo does not like:

-when his Uncle takes his toy. He makes a grunting noise and goes after it. His Uncle Armando, however, is much more agile than he is (he's 5 months older). Poor, Hugo.
-when mom leaves the room
-being put down for a nap even though he's tired
-hats or when clothes are put on.


It's been fun and exciting to see Hugo grow up. He's really just a great babe all around. :)

Mobile

Look who's mobile! Commence Project Turtle (or also known as baby proof the entire house!)!!





He's been working at it for awhile, but it was Wednesday night when he really started to take off. He never army crawled, but rolled around for awhile. He used his long length to lay out and grab something far away. It's been a lot of fun, but a little bit stressful since the apartment is far from safe (which Hugo made abundantly clear as he crawled around and got into everything!). That's been my job yesterday and now today. ;)

Go baby, go!



Of course he doesn't come for me, but for a bottle (and the bottle wasn't even his! All that work and no pay off!).

Sum(mer) fun!

So summer has been so fun. I've been really enjoying my time with Hugo and I think he has too. :) We had a family reunion. It was a blast! We had a talent/No talent show, an Iron Chef competition, swimming, and of course pictures. Hugo had fun with all the little ones (there were 9 of them under 7!)





(Hugo's cheeks make him looks sad, but I assure you he is a happy baby!)

We also celebrated the Fourth by going to see the awesome fireworks in Granbury! They were awesome and Hugo did great for being up so late.


And the fun didn't stop there! Can you believe it!? We love chick fil a and we decided to get a free meal by dressing up as cows. It was awesomely fun and we have awesome friends who are willing to dress up as cows and go with us.


Hugo's ears came out more as bat ears, but isn't he the most cutest cow/bat baby eveeerrr? He makes my heart melt into butter. :)




Speaking of the Hugo, that kid is big! I wish he wouldn't grow up so fast, but at least I'm getting stronger from it. At his 7 month appt he weighed in at a healthy 21.7 lbs and is 29 1/2". He's 89 percentile for weight and 97th percentile for height. He's still my little baby!
