8 months.

Banks is 8 months old now and I have decided that his "monthly photo shoots" are going to have to end with 6 months! HE WILL NOT COOPERATE so I'm going to just take what pictures I can get and try to KEEP UP!

Just like Smith did, he is looking VERY red-headed in all his pictures, but not in person! He looks more and more like Reed every day AND shares all of his daddy's expressions, too. He is crawling, or as we like to call it - "the one-legged booty scoot" - pulling up and cruising all over the place.

He is SO happy and sweet. He has the cutest dimples and he smiles ALL the time. He is FULL-BLOWN momma's boy!

He LOVES his brother. He really thinks he is getting big enough (well, he is big enough just not old enough) to play rough with Smith. They are going to have so much fun together as he gets bigger!

He loves eating REAL food and anything he can pick up himself. He is still too lazy to hold his own bottle, but sucks it down when you hold it for him!

He LOVES to sleep! He is like and infant. He will play hard for about 2 hours and then he is ready for a nap. He sleeps LONG and HARD and wakes up HAPPY!!! He sleeps approximately from 7pm to 7 am AND takes at least 2 naps during the day!!!
