Differences between 7 and 8 months

7 month old- baby lays contentedly on floor while you dress her
8 month old- dressing baby is like wrestling an alligator

7 month old- baby lays in crib and calls out for you when she wakes up
8 month old- baby tries to scale the crib and yells as you find her on the other side of the crib about halfway up and inches from making a jail break

7 month old- cuddles with you while you read books
8 month old- nose dives out of your lap while trying to eat the book

7 month old- waits patiently in high chair for you to clean her face after eating
8 month old- knows exactly what Mom is doing and does NOT want that cold paper towel on her face, and so screams so you won't come near her with that cleaning apparatus

7 month old- loves to giggle at dogs
8 month old- loves to pull dogs ears and yell at them

7 month old- plays happily with toys by herself
8 month old- climbs over toys to find the most dangerous object in house

7 month old- tricks Mom and Dad into thinking parenting is really easy
8 month old- makes Mom and Dad think they should have waited a little longer before having a second.

I hear ya!!!! For the wet paper towel after a meal I find that Sebastian does not fight it if I wet it with hot water... the walk from the sink to the highchair cools it off for him and then he is a happier boy!!!

Lol. This is sooo true and with every month new things disappear and others appear in its place. So much fun. Never a dull moment.
