Aryk is 8 Months!

Can you believe it has been 8 months? I can't! This has been a fun month. Aryk is eating so well. He is 19lbs. He FINALLY started sleeping through the night, again. Only in the past week. He still hasn't cut any teeth. The signs are all there, but no teeth. I can wait.
He is such a jabber box. It is so cute. He says "da-da" really well. Sometimes it sounds like he might be saying AJ. But he is not identifying anyone when he makes these sounds. And it always sounds like he is saying "Oh!" It is adorable!

Aryk started crawling this month! Only in the past week. I wasn't in a hurry to have him going all over. It's nice to set him on the floor and get something done. Now, I'm going to be chasing him around! Jeff was REALLY excited for him to crawl. Now he can't wait until he can walk! SLOW DOWN! I can wait! I am enjoying this stage. It goes by way too fast. Aryk has brought such a love and appreciation for my little boys. I want them to be little for as long as possible. My boys are great. I Love them so much. What's that? We have two other boys? Oh, my! Here's what is going on with the BIG Brothers!

Ashton is such a pleaser. He is always good to help out around the house or play with his brothers. He is doing so well in school and is so smart. He is such a good kid. Football will starting soon, he is excited to try a new sport. After football comes the long awaited Baseball Season! He is really excited about that!

AJ is fun. He has a smile that will melt your heart. He doesn't like getting into trouble, but he sure manages to do it! He is such a help with Aryk. He enjoys playing with his brothers. He always has something funny to say or do. Even if the rest of us don't get it, he starts to laugh, and it's contagious. We have to laugh too! Kindergarten is a lot of fun for AJ. And he is learning too!

One day after school Ashton was eating Oreos. He set them on a Pampered Chef tray I had on the floor. Aryk was able to grab hold of one. When I tried to take it he screamed. So instead of letting him make a mess on the floor, or taking it away and making him scream, I put him in his hi-chair, and let him enjoy. This is the result.


These three boys are definitely keeping us busy, laughing, and on our toes. I hope it never ends!

Isn't it funny that a fan can be so entertaining. All this time we thought we were using them for a different purpose! Cute videos!! The times sure goes by fast....especially after they are born. I am so glad that he knows how to eat an OREO! That is GREAT! It sounds like you have such good boys! Yes, I think they will definitely keep you busy. But, it sounds like it will be enjoyable too!
