8 Month Stats

Talmage is 8 months old today.

We had a doctors appointment. It went OK, but boy do I miss our pediatrician. Everyone sees a General Practitioner here. It's fine, just different.

For instance, I asked what I should/shouldn't be feeding the kid and she responded,

"Just follow your motherly instincts."

Really? Is that what you learned in med school? Thank you very much doctor.

And also, the stats below were not taken in the office--they don't measure kids here, and she weighed him in kilograms and didn't know how to convert it. Oh bother!

Height: 30 1/4 inches Weight: 21 lbs. 2 oz.

As always, I took a million pictures of our BIG BOY today.

This is at a park across the street from our doctor's office. I just love that hat on him!

Wednesday, of course, means library day! He is making the same face as the child on the cover of that book!

He's looking at all the options!

Everyone who spends time with Talmage tells me how aware he is of his surroundings. It really is true. He is always checking EVERYTHING out. (I don't blame him...I love to people watch!) He was obsessed with this girl and was staring at her for a good five minutes.

Can you believe he's already learned to tie his shoe?

Well, at least he knows how to untie it!

Waiting for Daddy at Pembroke.

I hope someday Talmage will think it's cool that he lived in Cambridge.

Me and T. I love that cheesy grin!

Daddy and Talmage. I love those boys!

Jim got him dressed yesterday. I was cracking up! Yes, he's in a laundry basket. Long story!
