rishi has so much during playdates now that he is a crawler and stander! he loves watching the toddlers run around and he and emma sit and play toys. he's kind of too hands on so we'll have to work on our 'nice' hands :)

today was crazy, chaotic, playdate day. SO much fun. now with rishi and emma crawling, a whole new dimension of chaos is introduced. all the kids were happy and loud and it was a really funy morning. my mom enjoyed seeing how much bigger all of the kids are.
afterwards we headed to the outlets where rishi had his first taste of a soft pretzel. man was he ever grubbing down on that thing!

rishi saw lola this morning! in the afternoon we went to the mall to get out of the house and burn some energy.

i think littles just "know" their grandma's even when they haven't seen them often enough to really remember. rishi is very comfy and content with her. now he can do like five movements of normal crawl and then he goes back into his olympic swimmer crawl, lol. he looks like he's doing the butterfly. he is such a grunter too. for several months, he has just randomly grunted out, sometimes startling us. he likes blowing raspberries too. i think the moving around is thinning out some of the chunk.

8 months old!

today was a weird weather kinda day. it was cool, cold, warm, hot, cold, windy, sunny. after running errands in the morning, we headed to the park. all of us went, including ace. rishi had a short nap in the ergo earlier so he was a bit on the tired side. at the park he swung a little. he likes when i get his toes in the swing. then he sat out on a blanket with daddy and ace. then i nursed him to sleep and held him why we watched the others play.

rishi loves cheerios. he loves sweet potatoes and i just started steaming them and cutting them into little chunks for him. i've been adding diced peaches to his oatmeal and his favorite addition so far seems to have been plums. he eats once or twice a day but more like snacky, he doesn't eat as much as some of the tables say he should. but he gets the best stuff from mama anyway.

his crawl is so funny. he looks like an olympic swimmer, pulling himself across the floor. he is so fast, especially if he has a target to go towards. he is all over the place now - in amit's office, pulling things out of sanji's play kitchen, chasing his ball around.

he always wakes up happy, his head just pops up and he blows raspberries and starts crawling around the bed. he is just the sweetest little guy and he is always smiling and holds his own pretty well with sanji :)

his two teeth are so far out now and i think i see a third one about to pop through. rishi is such a snuggly marshmallow. i can't believe that he is 8 months old today. i love him so much.
