Diesel, so like is he going to drive a truck one day? Heard them all!

It is hard to believe that my baby is 8 months. It is sad t

o think that this will be the last time we will have a baby around until I am a Grandma (that sounds crazy). I love babies, one might say I am addicted to them. They look at you so adoringly, forgive so easily, and love unconditionally. Yes they can be a lot of work, but it is worth it when you get them out of their crib after a nap and they squeeze you tight and give you a slobber on your cheek. I am glad we named him Diesel, it is so fitting. His favorite thing right now is to make these loud deep engine like noises and he loves it if you do it back to him. He is my biggest baby, growing like a weed. He loves to eat and may be classified as an over-eater not knowing when to stop. He only wakes up 2 times a night now - thank goodness! He is doing a crawl like movement (I call it the break dance move the centipede). He has started pulling himself up on things sometimes making it impossible to get him out without breaking my back like when he crawls underneath the table and stands up holding onto one of the legs of a chair. He loves our railing holding onto the bars he just grins down at us. He has found the stairs and has tumbled down two steps already (let's face it who hasn't fallen down our stairs though) at least it is a soft landing compared to my brother-in-laws where their stairs are basically straight up and down and every single person in my family has fallen and it is no picnic when you get to the bottom (wood floors). I love Diesel's smile it lights up his whole face. Sadly I'm afraid that this next year I will see the most changes in him. He will move out of baby stage to a toddler. But for 33 years my parents still refer to me as their baby, so I guess Diesel will always hold a special place in my heart as my last baby too.
