8 Months

And, he's off!  You became mobile this month.  Not like in the quickly crawling all over the place kind of thing, but you are certainly on your way.  You do this thing where you get on all fours and stick your butt high in the air (I'm talking making your body into an upside down V shape).  It's absolutely adorable.  You do push-ups as you look around and determine where your destination will be.  Then you rock backward (to build up momentum!) and propel yourself forward.  So, your "crawl" is something between an army crawl and a slingshot.  Or something like that.  You will also roll over and over again to reach your destination.  Too cute.  And let me tell you, you are getting quite fast.  We're working on the dreaded "NO" when you get close to something that is unsafe.  The word definitely grabs your attention as you peer back at us with a "you-talking-to-me?" expression on your face.  But then you proceed to go after whatever it is without further hesitation.  Sigh.  At least you acknowledge us before doing whatever you want.  :O)

You LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to eat.  Between nursing and three meals a day, you are quite the eating champ.

Photographing you is especially difficult at this point, but I managed to get a couple good shots. And the outtakes are hilarious. 

Clapping and hamming it up!

Baby push-ups!

Distracted.
