8 months old!


On Wednesday, Jasper turned 8 months old. I love the fact that his birthday is December 1st. That way, whatever day of the year it is, is exactly how old he is. For example: February 1, he was two months old exactly. September 15th, he'll be 9 months and 15 days. Apart from him being born at the height of cold and flu season, an RSV outbreak and Whooping cough outbreak in Austin which kept us conservatively home bound for those early weeks of his life, I like this not having to think about how old he is all the time. It's one less math calculation I have to do in my head.

Tonight, while taking his 8 month photo, we had his nighttime bottle on the table next to the couch. He noticed it, and pretty quickly he moved to get his hands on that bottle. The bottle was sitting on a bib, and just as Jasper grabbed hold of the bib to drag the bottle to him, I picked up the bottle and thwarted his efforts. Don't worry ... he got the bottle eventually, and really he isn't going unfed. :)





Jasper is a total green bean fanatic, but he is also showing a growing appreciation for carrots. Sadly, he is unwilling to ... give peas a chance.

Cue the flutes ... this is Jasper's Mission Impossible pose.

I like the first shot in the action series. You can tell he's pondering something and trying to decide whether it's a good idea or not. Then, he GOES FOR IT!

Excellent work, Jasper! :)
