Overnight, August has become a little charmer. He coos and giggles, smiles and watches. These little affirmations make Pete and me feel so good, and it’s incredibly rewarding to get these reactions from him.

Our little man has been rolling over for a few months now, and has recently started sitting up all on his own — such a big boy! He likes having his hands free so he can play with more toys and put them in his mouth.

He’s also been teething since about three months old, but we have yet to see pearly whites poke through his gums. We do have plenty of drool, though!

August likes to suck on his index and middle finger to soothe himself, particularly when he’s sleepy. It’s the most adorable thing to see.

August likes stroller rides (mostly), standing in his doorway jumper, playing in his exersaucer, and rolling around on the floor.
