8 months of love and madness

You hear the saying "they grow up too fast" branded around a hell of a lot through your life-time and you never really fully appreciate the experience and understanding the meaning behind the words until you have ventured into parenthood yourself.

It seems like yesterday I was rambling on about how I was going to be a dad and the amazing things the responsibility of it would bring. Now that eight months have officially past i thought it was wise to sit down and reflect on the time that had flown-by ever so quickly and document some of favorite memories from every month of Theo's life so far.

One Month Old - Getting to know the little-man in the first month was one of my favorite memories. Taking him home for the first time and learning how to care for him was a life changing experience.

Two Months Old - Hearing his laugh for the first time was  very special and is something i will remember forever. When he was able to interact and understand little things fatherhood did become more enjoyable.



Three Months Old - He started to become more mobile and more vocal. Highly entertaining for the whole family.

Four Months Old - This was the age i started to see his personality shine through. His little habits, likes and pet hates were now easily identifiable.



Five Months Old - This was the best month ever as he started to sleep through the night, so from 8:30 to 7am.

Six Months Old - He started to want to stand up and be more mobile, so opening up cupboards and smashing pots and pans like the incredible hulk.





Seven Months Old - last month he said his first words, he now say mamma, dadda and nanna.

Eight Months Old - I am expected Theo to really come into his own in the next few months and can see him walking!



I never thought that being a parent could be so inspiring, emotional and a laugh. Yes babies can be a pain in the butt but it is in the moments of love and laughter you really do make the memories that will last you a life time and beyond.
