Boncel family happenings: Nicky is 8 months old!

Sorry for the delay on this, Nicky is already 8.5 months old and thought I better put this together - it's now or never!

8 months old..wow. Nicky is starting to look more and more like a toddler than a baby. He is having so much fun with his buddy Mason. Mason is kind enough to share his toys with Nicky, including his new favorites - a tunnel and the wagon. Sometimes Nicky crawls in and just sits there, and Mattie's pug, Hula, will join him!

I love wagon rides with Mason!

Usually Nicky plays in his exersaucer in the mornings, but he gets tired of it and found a new place to play:

Yep - much better!

Nicky has given up on sucking his toes, and now loves to suck his thumb. He even holds his thumb in his mouth with his other hand!

You're not going anywhere, thumb!

His two bottom front teeth have finally come in - I will miss those toothless smiles, but he is still just as adorable! So you can hear him making sounds with his mouth, getting used to having teeth. We've also noticed that during baths, he will start rubbing his belly - as if for good luck! The other night he was rubbing his belly, and he fell face foward, and he looked up with his face covered with soap - I didn't have my camera but trust me, it was hilarious!

He loves his new high chair, which is attached to the kitchen counter - he can see his toys and watch Dodger and Bentley from high:

He has been eating a lot these days, saving his sweet potatoes for later:

I love my sippy cup!

We took Nicky in for his flu shot last week and he weighed 19 lbs 10 oz! We're excited for his first Thanksgiving, and that he'll be eating stuffing and turkey with us!
