8 months!!!

8 month Stats:

Height : 28 inches

Weight: not sure exactly, but probably close to 22lbs

Size: 4 in diapers. 6-9month clothes  and some 12 months!!

Teeth: 2 bottom teeth!!! And we are working on at least 2 on the top!!

Sleeping: He is still a really good sleeper. He sleeps every night from 7:00pm to 7am! He also takes a couple of good naps during the day! (Some nights we haven't been so lucky thanks to the teething monster)!

Eating: He drinks about 5 bottles of formula/day. His favorite solids are squash, all fruits, and mixed veggies. He also loves oatmeal with bananas!! We let him take a taste of pineapples, oreos, and ice cream this month. He loved the sweets! he didn't seem to feel good after the ice cream. I'm guessing it was the dairy.

  

Movement: He is starting to scoot/crawl. he is in no hurry and there must be something he is going after. he doesn't just go to go yet!

Words and sounds: He "talks" a lot. But no real words yet. Sometimes it seems like you hear "Hi"!

Milestones: 2 teeth!! Starting to scoot, and winning the baby show!! It's been a big month!! 

Favorite toys: He loves books. he likes to look at them and chew on them!! His favorite toys are still cups and water bottles!!

Places I went this month: the fair, Aunt Osie's 97th birthday party, and lots of time outside!!

Other special things about me this month: Maverick is the 2011 Rush County Fair baby show King!!!! He did such an awesome job!!

My little Fishy!!!

While Daddy was at golf tonight we decided to jump in the pool!!

When we started to get in I thought it might be too cold. But, Maverick was lunging at the water!!

We only stayed in about 20 minutes, but he had a blast!!!!

 He was having a ball in his float kicking his legs!!! He kept laughing!!

 All smiles!!!

 This is my attempt to take a picture of us!!! I took about 6 and this was the best one :/



The Wolf Pack on the farm!!

Tonight we went to Mamaw & Papaw's house!

They live on a farm and we had a great visit!

(yes Mamaw, next time will be longer b/c we will remember to bring Mav's food :) )

Daymien and Maya Jo (Maverick's cousins) were there living it up in the pool!!

Here is a video of their cannon balls!! lol

It was such a beautiful day to sit in the shade and visit!!!

This is Maverick with his *young* Mamaw!!!

 Mamaw and Papaw just bought a Mommy and baby goat.

I loved them!!

 The baby was smaller than Maverick! He wasn't sure what to think!!

Hey Mamaw, please buy your favorite daughter-in-law a lama and a fainting goat!! 

 Look how cute they are!!!

 Anyone who knows me knows that I am terrified of birds of any sorts. I have a special kind of hate for chickens. I like to eat them but they scare the daylights out of me. M &P have 69 of them!!!!!!!!!!!

I stayed far away to get this picture!!

 Maverick did pet the chicken.....eeeewwwwwwwww!!!!!

 Looking at the chickens with Daddy!!

 He did let go of the fence with both hands for 1/2 a second!!!!!!

 Mamaw was trying to get him to look in the window at the goats. He was too worried about their dog. He loved her!!

 Here are the little Olympic swimmers!!!

 Daddy, Papaw, and Maverick on the golf cart! Maverick is still OBSESSED with cups. Papaw is his new favorite person b/c he gave him one!!!

 At one point he decided he needed to mow!

 Daymien caught a turtle!

 Maverick loved Maya Jo. He was trying to get out of my arms and crawl up her!!

He never does that!! He must love his Maya Jo!!

 Mamaw brought out a blanket for them to play!!

Thanks for a great visit Mamaw and Papaw!!

We can't wait to come back out and visit!!!



Pug love!

Pugs are my favorite dogs! I love them!

Someday a pug will join the Wolf Pack (I don't care what Matt says!!)

I have a pug niece and nephew who I love very much!!

Hi Guido and Weezy!!!

Maverick's Godfather and his fiance just adopted a baby girl pug. ::swoon::

Her name is Dalila and she is so stinking cute!!

Jackie and Dalila came over for a playdate early this weekend.

Maverick wasn't so sure what to think of her at first!

Dalila tried to kiss and nibble at Maverick!

He decided to grab her face pet her too!

We can't wait for our next play date!!!

Puffs please!

This weekend we bought Mav some of the Gerber puff treats. We bought 3 different kinds and the apple cinnamon are his favorites! He wasn't so sure about these at first and would make a funny face. The second step was sucking off all of the flavor and then spitting them out! I think he has it down now! He gets excited when he sees the containers!

He also likes to play with the containers!

When he wants more he makes this face! It's hilarious!

Let's go to the fair! Take two!

We decided to back to the fair on Friday night.

 (Yes, it might have had something to do with me not getting a corndog or elephant ear the first night ;) )

We ran into my mom and sister Jeannette while we were there. Maverick was in a much better mood than the previous night and was happy to see them. I let him have a few licks off my elephant ear and he went crazy! I think we're in trouble next year! Aunt JJ decided to get some pineapple whip and share with Mav. It was hilarious b/c he would make an awful face like he hated it, but then he would yell and grab for it!

Matt got some ice cream too and here are some pictures of him trying a swirl!!!

thinking about it...

 decided to go for it...

not so sure about this stuff!!!

Let's go to the fair!!!

Today we went to the local fair!

It was a little windy, but felt pretty nice out!

Maverick missed his afternoon nap, so he was not impressed with anything there.

We did pet a baby calf and he loved that. He kept trying to pet it and it was so cute!

Daddy put him on a tractor. He tried to eat the wheel!

 

I thought he would love the carousel (side note...$3.75 for one ride on the carousel...geesh!!!) but he was not too happy. It actually went much faster than I remember and he was mad. He started screaming the last 30 seconds or so!

If you can make this picture bigger he is screaming in this pic. I had to add it b/c it cracks me up!

Daddy could not resist trying to win something for Mommy and baby!!

After entirely too much $$ daddy won a large Rastafarian Banana. Because who doesn't need or want a Rastafarian banana?!! lol

The good news is that Maverick loves it!

Baby Show Winner!!!!!

Yesterday was the local county fair baby show. Maverick was crowned the 2011 King!!!

Matt and I could not be more proud!! He had an entire fan section cheering him on!!

I would like to thank cousin Billy for taking pictures for us!!

Maverick was quite the little ham. He batted his eyes and smiled at all of the judges.

All of the babies were adorable. I cannot imagine a harder job than judging a baby contest!!

But, I think they made the right decision in the end ;)

Here is the reigning king with his trophy!

 The Royal Family!

 King and Queen with the fair queen and her court!

 Payton M was crowned the queen. Her mommy and I graduated together. I also am friends with her grandma. I was so excited that she and Maverick were the winners!! She was such a cutie. She was blowing kisses at the judges! She kissed Maverick and I both!! Such a gracious queen!

 While we were being judged in the final round we sat next to Logan and Kayleigh G. Logan is such a little cutie and he and Maverick were having a great time playing together!

 After he won his division!! He was in the 6-9 month boys category!

 The theme was 'Hollywood comes to Rushville' so he had his shades on!! He also had a tux jacket, but it was a little too hot!

all of the 6-9 month boys!

 This is Maverick with his 3 favorite people...Mommy, Daddy, and Aunt Sarah!

Toddlers and Tiaras here we come!!!!!!!!!



Happy Father's Day!!

Happy first Father's Day to my wonderful husband, Matt!!

He is the best husband and father that we could ask for!!!

We love you to the moon and back!!!

This is how Maverick and Daddy celebrated today!!

happy father's day to all of the dad's out there!!

Fun outside with Avery!!

We have the best neighbors in the whole world! 

We are lucky to live next to some of our very best friends! 

The best part of living next to the Hills is that we get to see each other's kids all of the time. 

Grady and Avery are two of my favorite little people in the whole world. 

I have known both of them since the day they were born and I could not love them anymore if they were my own. I LOVE getting to see them grow up on a daily basis! They also can keep me entertained, they are a hoot!!! Avery is quite the little personality. She and Maverick were playing on the swings the other day and I snapped some pictures! Enjoy! 

here is Avery pushing Maverick on the swing. She could have done this for hours and he would have let her!

He was cracking up!

At one point she decided to swing to show Maverick how high she can go!

Here she is with a little bit of static in her hair :)

The Wolfpack loves the Hill family!!!

**And a shout out to Mommy Hill who graduates with her RN this week!! Congratulations!!! We are so proud of you!!!
