Frankie turned 8 months old on November 8th! Crazy how time flies... in the past couple months he has progressed and grown so much. His two top teeth broke through when Jay and I were in Napa and he has started eating pieces of food on his own, although sometimes he is lazy and gets frustrated so we have to put it in his mouth for him. He loves the Gerber snacks that Christy suggested we get from the grocery store - and it seems that bananas are still his favorite fruit, maybe because it was his first?
He has gotten so cuddly, crawling over and climbing in your lap if he wants to snuggle, and putting his head right down on your shoulder if he is tired. He is crawling well, pulling himself up onto the baby gates, chairs, anything he can! He also has been going straight for the things he isn't supposed to, like cords! We still need to do a little better at baby-proofing. Jay just lowered his crib the other day because it looked like he was ready to topple out, holding onto the bar and rocking. What a precious little boy we have.
As I thought, we missed him like crazy when we went to CA but we had a great trip. We are already looking forward to going back again when there is no wedding to make plans around. Jay and I have been super busy at work since returning, Jay got a promotion, and we are both doing our best to leave work at the door and make sure we have balance in our life with the family. The best part of the day is getting home and spending time with Francesco before he goes to bed. Thanksgiving will be at the Smith House and we have a lot to be thankful for this year!
