8 months and...

standing up all the time, and playing the piano regularly (he thinkis it's funny)

driving along--note how he holds on with his toes, i think it's awfully cute!

climbing on EVERYTHING

he LOVES bathtime. more than any other kid i've ever seen!
he also LOVES his sisters, and seriously, with faces like those, what's not to love?!
i think he even prefers the girls to mom most of the time (aka, unless he's tired or hungry)

works hard, plays hard, sleeps hard
and totally loveable! what a cutie!
i can't believe it's been 8 months already! Malachi's a great baby, and we obviously aren't biased at all, but he's told regularly by at least three different people that he's the most perfectest baby boy we could have in our family :). some of his other achievements include kissing noises, eating baby food, crawling all over, climbing all over (i said that already, but it bears repeating)--usually as he tries to walk, and "talking." he's still super ticklish (with a great chuckle), always moving (we have to tie his arms up swaddle him tight to get him to sleep at night, or he keeps himself awake with his constant movements), he loves faces--noses, eyes, ears, glasses, lips, even hair, and is always grabbing at them, on a realted note, his grip is strong (and it's really hard to keep his fingernails short enough that it doesn't hurt ;). but he's a total sweetheart, and gives great snuggles and kisses (if you don't mind the open-mouthed variety), and he's totally full of love!

we LOVE our little boy!!!

He sounds a lot like Livi! So busy and open-mouthed kisses. I can't believe how fast our babies are growing up!
