Fast Forward to 8 Months!

Being a first time mom is daunting and tiring! The last post I had written was when Matteo was two months old. I had a pending draft with exactly one sentence (Matteo is now 3 months old!) that I didn't get to finish. Now, Matteo just turned 8 months and I can't believe that time flew by so fast (and that I survived 8 months still without a yaya, yay me!) Oh, and it's been 6 months since I became officially unemployed, lol.

Cake smashed, yet again 😂

I really wish that I had the energy to write monthly about Matteo's milestones, but having no help and a clingy breastfeeding baby made that a bit impossible for me. I'm only getting to write this now because Matteo's taking a nap, and his naps have been getting longer for the past few days so I thought I'd give this a shot.  

Matteo has grown so much for the past few months, that I sometimes find it hard to believe that he was inside my tummy, kicking my ribs, less than a year ago. He's so active now, and crawls so fast that I have to run to catch him before he hits his head on the wall. He has learned to sit up by himself (the day he turned 7 months), and he has learned to stand assisted just last Sunday when he turned 8 months.

It's so exciting seeing him develop and grow, and I love hearing his little laugh every morning. He's so lovable and adorable, and I often wonder what I did to deserve such a cute baby boy.

And just like that, little bub has woken up from his nap, and it's now time for us to have a snack. Hope I can continue posting here from time to time :D
