Homaigosh can you believe it? Paul is going to be eight months old tomorrow! He's now able to search his own crib for his dummy, and just the other day I caught him rolling around in his crib searching for his sippy cup. Nowadays he also knows how to hold up his own sippy cup and drink from it (of course he doesn't quite know how to tilt his head backwards yet, so I prop him up against some pillows and he will be slurping away.
Feels like just a few months ago Eric went on bended knee to ask me to be his wife, just a few weeks ago we walked down the aisle, and just days ago I told Eric I was pregnant. Now I have a little tyke who knows how to mischievously look at me when I say 'camera'! I overdid the camwhoring with the baby bit since he was a kid, and the plus of this is he seems to be a natural model for the camera.
Still thinking on whether I wanna send the kid to a professional studio to do one of those baby in vegetable suits photoshoot. Eric frowns upon it and says, 'But why do you want to subject your kid to such torture? Don't dress my kid up as a pumpkin please!'
Thing is, we only get to do this sort of 'baby in a tomato suit' thing once in our life, and well, I wonder sometimes, why not?

Claire,
What a beautiful photo of Paul!
Life does seem to accelerate when a child enters into to your life. You can see in Paul’s eyes the recognition and love for you, his mother!
Now is a special time in all your lives. You and Eric are absolute heroes for Paul. There are no two people more important to him than mother and father.
Enjoy this time, as he is observing both of you closer than you can realize. He is learning behaviours by watching and listening.
Every moment is precious!

Thanks! I borrowed a special lens from a friend, and now I’m thinking of getting the same lens for myself so that we can keep taking professional looking photos!
Woi, I’m with Eric on this.
Kids dressed in pumpkin suits against their freewill is tantamount to child abuse!
but but but…. whole life one time nia…
Happy 8 months. time does passes by way too fast. Enjoy it, then when number 2 comes, you get to feel this way all over again..:)
