8 months old

Zander this is what have you been up to in the last month:

-You now have four teeth. Two on the bottom and two on the top.
-You wear size 3 diapers now. We found that out when on Halloween you had 2 blow outs. Your diaper was too small.
-You crawl now. You crawled for the first time on November 6, 2009 or sometime around then.
-You said your first word on October 29, 2009. You said WOW. You said it very clearly and both your mommy and daddy heard it. You haven't said it again. And you haven't said any other words either.
-You celebrated your first Halloween. You were the cutest lion for Halloween.
-You went to your first pumpkin patch. And got your first pumpkin. But we didn't carve pumpkins this year. You had 2 little pumpkins, a white one and an orange one. And you had one big orange pumpkin.
-You slept away from your mommy and daddy for the first time on November 10, 2009. You slept over at Grandma and Grandpa Meeter's house because they were watching you 2 days in a row because mommy and daddy had to work. Just so you know, mommy hated it, and was up until 5:30 a.m. because she missed you so much.
-You wear 9 month clothes and some 12 month clothes. I am pretty sure you only fit in 12 month sleepers because you are so tall.
-Your mommy estimates you weigh somewhere between 19 to 20 pounds.
-You went to the annual shopping trip at the Lighthouse Mall in Michigan City, IN with mommy and daddy and their friends for the first time. Last year you went, but you were in mommy's belly. You loved swimming in the pool at our hotel.
-You love your exersaucer, but love the jumparoo that Grandma has even more. You love to bounce. Mommy had to switch the 2. Now we have the jumparoo at our house and the exersaucer at Grandma Wiersema's house. You kept jumping like crazy in the your exersaucer and I was afraid you would break it.
-You are eating baby food well, but no finger/table food yet.

-You are the cutest boy ever and your mommy and daddy are enjoying every minute they have with you.

And just because it is cute and funny.
