Jake is moving and grooving now! He can crawl and pull himself up to stand! He is such a Mama's boy! If I put him down to play with some toys and I head to the kitchen he crawls so quickly over to me that I hardly have time to put the gate in place. It is nice to feel loved but it makes it challenging to get anything accomplished around the house. He has 6 teeth too! He has a strong opinion on which foods he'll eat. He shows a a big preference towards veggies. He doesn't really like fruit or anything too sweet. At only 8 1/2 months he sure makes his likes and dislikes known. Thankfully he sleeps about 12 hours in a row at night because during the day he takes 2 very short naps that are usually no more than an hour each. We love him so much and it is great to see all he is learning.
