8 Months old...almost

Tobias is almost 8 months old and he is getting so big! He is eating rice cereal three times a day now and he can sit on his own. He also has four teeth. Two on the bottom and two on the top. Here, he's playing with his "Treasure Chest" that he got for Christmas from Aunt Niki, Uncle Justin, and cousin Emily. He LOVES it. The turkey baster is one of his favorite items in the box. I'll explain the pillow barracade later.







Here's T having fun getting "into" things (pun intended :)














Super Close up





























He couldn't decide which toy looked better to chew on so he picked both!













Ah yes, it was only a matter of time because he discovered the Playstation. This is why I had to make the pillow barracade. He's become quite fond of speaker wires and vieo game controllers. I thought we had at least another 10 years before he would be interested in video games!








You can see his little teeth stubs on the top in this picture.















one word.... ADORABLE













Tobias is also very fond of backing himself up under the couch. I have no idea why he is so drawn to the couches, but he often ends up like this.















Just like his dad, T loves to read.















Here he is on the move!













We got him this little net thing with a handle on it that holds a piece of fruit or veggie and he sucks on it to get the juice the out. He really likes it and it keeps him busy long enough for me to eat a meal.

Adventures in eating

Tobias got his first High chair two nights ago. He loves sitting in it and playing with his rubberized baby spoons. He's eating rice cereal now as his first solid food. He just eats it once a day, for breakfast. However, the only way I can get him to eat it is if he has his own spoon to play with while I feed him with another spoon. He also likes to drop all his spoons on the ground so we go through about four spoons by the end of the meal. It's fun :)
