Wilson is such a joy!! Each day his personality seems to grow. He has toys of preference (teddy bear blankie and blocks); is SO independent when it comes to eating (I can hardly feed the kid with out him grabbing the spoon from me and shoving it in his mouth- or eye.); he loves to get out and about; and has become Momma's little snuggle bug.
Yesterday, he gave me my first hug. He looked up at me, and then pulled himself to me, wrapping his little arms around my neck. He has grabbed me before but this time it felt like a real hug. I have tears in my eyes just thinking about it.
I wish I could bottle up all these little moments and keep them forever. I get emotional thinking about how much he’s grown and how he won’t be my little guy forever. It seems like everyday he climbs past another milestone and gets bigger and BIGGER (he is 20 pounds now).
Even though we have the occasionally tumble, Wilson is practically sitting up on his own. Today, we had some sitting up time on the bed- with the dogs of course- and Wilson leaned forward and pulled himself onto Jake and then sat back up and grabbed Buckeye’s eyes and ears. Thank goodness I have patient pups.
Jake isn't the only thing he is all over these days. He is all over the floor too. 
When I lay him on his play mat and leave the room after I come back he is on the other end (or off it completely) and has another toy in his mouth. Many times he has also switched from lying on his tummy to his back or vice versa.
Words cannot express the joy he brings to my life. Being a mother has been the greatest gift I could ever receive.
I love you little guy. Always and forever, my baby you’ll be.

Great pictures! Such a cliche, but the time really does fly by.
Isn't it sad, but exciting, all at the same time?
It brings tears to my eyes too just thinking about how fast they really do grow up.
Now I have tears in my eyes! He looks SO much like you! He is at the brink of my favorite age. I love the 8 month old stage. I am so excited for you and all the wonderful moments you will have together!
Jamie, he looks just like you! I read your blog today and found it funny that I just finished a blog entry of my own called Growing Up. Bryce just turned a year old two days ago and he's already starting to talk, he started standing on his own, and just a few minutes ago he blew Ryan and I kisses! :( It was so sweet....and sad....my baby's growing up, too! I know exactly how you feel!
Tears for me, too. And I know what you mean about the real hugs. To this day, they are the best.
