7... 8 months!

Life has been a whirlwind since Christmas, and I can't believe almost 3 months have passed!  Liam, despite it all, has still been the most content and happy baby I have even been around!  I completely missed posting at his 7 month mark, and here we are, 3 days away from 8 months old, and I'm trying to "catch up!"  He is babbling constantly, saying hey-there, mama, and dada pretty clearly, and making a whole lot of other sounds, too.  He laughs out loud all the time, and recently he has started singing along with John Parker (he holds out the long notes :) He also has had his bottom two teeth since just after 6 months and is about to get top teeth any day now.  He is semi-mobile, rolling both ways to get to whatever he wants and he can sit well with no support for very long amounts of time.  He doesn't crawl, yet, but I'm sure it won't be long - he tries so hard!  He can go ANYWHERE in his walker and has been walking in it for over a month - but now he practically runs in it, keeping up with John Parker's every move.  He adores Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and dances when it comes on and when they sing the "Hot Dog Song" at the end.  He is always happy unless he is tired or hungry - and even then he doesn't cry, just "grumps".  Such a sweetheart.
