rolling, pulling, scooting, OH MY!

Our sweet boy is just a couple of weeks away from 8 months. And he's such a handful already. I know I'm going to be one busy mama in a few weeks.
About a month ago, maybe a little more. He started rolling over to get where he wanted to go. We let him play on the floor, on a twin size comforter, well he will go from one end of that to the other. Then he started pulling himself, he will grab onto the blanket and pull himself towards toys and what not. Now, just within the last week, he's been scooting. He learned to get up onto his hands and knees, and he looks like a little worm moving across the floor. Its SO funny to watch, and so amazing. Just 7 and a half months ago he was a tiny little guy in my arms.
Elijah is quite the eater, but has become very picky. Sweet potatoes used to be his favorite, now he gags as soon as he takes the first bite. Its hard to get him to eat fruit thats mixed, and he isn't a fan of the veggie dinners quite yet. We introduced him to the gerber 1st stage crunchy foods. He loves puffs, and those wagon wheel snacks. He makes quite the mess, but its so fun watching him trying to figure out how to eat those things!
He is very interested in Maxx nowa days! He will call (scream) to get his attention. Maxx just looks at him like, you are one crazy baby. Poor Maxx won't know what to do when Elijah is fully mobile!
I just can't believe how fast these last months have gone, all the changes and challenges we have been through. Even though we've had our moments, I so look forward to the future and growing with our little family!
