so i went with orange as the design color of choice for the onesie this month...
always, always love evan in orange :)
& that is his favorite elephant, given to him by cousin paige. (& he does have more than one elephant...) he's fascinated by the string tail. actually any and all strings. which makes me VERY nervous...
and so AT 8 MONTHS, evan...
...continues to sit really well, but doesn't yet crawl - he does however tuck his right leg underneath him and "pivot & scoot" around... he's figuring out mobility minus the crawling. which is ok. :)
...squeals with delight and waves his arms around whenever we get out his "good puppy" book, which was a gift from my friend tracy. best book ever according to evan. although he truly loves all of his touch and feel type books.
...SAYS MOMMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and knows what it means. :) it is still sporadic, but i can usually count on hearing 1 or 2 or 14 impatient-sounding "mamaaaas" over the monitor when i don't get him up from a nap quick enough. or when he loses his paci at 4am. or when i walk out of the room. love that. seriously. love it. :)
...still has just the bottom 2 teeth. which are adorable.
...wants to know where Toby is at all times... and is constantly cranning his neck to peek around a corner and try to get a glimpse of him.
...is starting to wave.
...weighs 22 pounds!
...has adorable baby fat rolls on his wrists and legs. :)
...LOVES pears. is starting to enjoy his biter biscuit cookie. doesnt really get the gerber puffs?!
...loves playing with his blocks. they are such a fave.
...& is totally thrilled when dadda gets home each night.
when people ask how old evan is and i tell them 8 months, the general response is "oh, that is such a great age... so interactive"... and yeah it is... (as declared on the back of his onesie this month!) :)
and the every month teddy pic... so crazy to see the growth with these...
:)
That is great Susan! I'm so happy you are having fun with this motherhood thing...wait til he's a teen! It's so cool to see him grow too..I love that teddy pic every month! Awesome stuff!

Total cuteness, Susan and I can't believe how little his teddy is looking!!!!
Posted by: Sue Thomas | March 28, 2008 at 10:02 AM
Wow - he's getting so big and gets cuter every day! Awesome photos, Susan!

It totally looks like Teddy has been shrunk in the dryer!!!
Evan is sooo darn cute - don't take this personal, but I think I check your blog just to see photos of that *CUTE* face! :0) LOL!
Your onesies are always adorable, too!

awwww, Susan, he's so cute! Love the design on the back of the onesie once again! Isn't it amazing how fast they grow?!? Evan's room looks so bright and fun! Great color choices! love it!
Posted by: Jeri | March 28, 2008 at 12:44 PM
he is just TOO cute! i love all the bright colors in his room and the onesie's you do every month are AWESOME!
Posted by: jenny | March 28, 2008 at 12:47 PM
Susan,
These "monthly" onesie shots are fantastic. Can you post the details on how you make the onesie? what do you print the design onto? An iron-on transfer or something that works on an inkjet printer?
Thanks,
Melissa

Love those onesies! You should open an etsy shop! I keep thinking of you every time I go to target. Have you seen the awesome monkey stuff? They have darling monkey plates, spoons, cups etc. All great for toddlers. They also have all the cute bathroom accessories. AND... the best part, they come in all the bright colors like Ev's room.

Those photos are so great but that last one.......wow! Seriously...cuter every month! Fun onesie too!

VERY cute pictures of your boy!! I agree with other commenters about the onesies- so cute!! If you sold them, I'd totally buy one. I've been looking for a shirt that says "1" or "One" for my little guy who turns one the end of this month. Any ideas where I could look?
Posted by: anne | March 28, 2008 at 02:34 PM
um, didn't you just post the 7 month photos like last week? holy cow! and seriously, that boy is the cutest.
Posted by: melanie | March 28, 2008 at 05:40 PM
Yep - 8 is great. It is hands down my favorite baby age! And wow, what a cutie :)
Posted by: Jill | March 28, 2008 at 10:40 PM
Evan looks super cute in his 8 onsie, before you know it we'll be celebrating the big one!

I would LOVE to get a set of the iron ons that you've made! Sell them, sell them, sell them!
Posted by: Erin | March 29, 2008 at 08:28 AM

Posted by: laura vegas | March 31, 2008 at 01:32 AM

Posted by: Tracy Utter | March 31, 2008 at 08:47 PM
Adorable! And I too would love to know how you make the onsies:o) Pretty please?
Posted by: Mollie | April 16, 2008 at 01:10 PM
What saying did you use for months 1-5 on the back?? Id love to see them or hear about them. I read your blog about how to make the month sign but what about the backs??
