8 Months Old

Eight months old and growing up so fast...So much has changed in the last month as our little guy grows and isn't so little anymore.

What Andrew is up to now... 
- Still wearing 9 month clothes
- Crawling on all fours now...It is amazing how fast he can go after things (more about that later)
- Got his first tooth and the second one came right behind it. He is such a trooper, only minor fussiness, extra drool, and some spit-ups. Tough guy never has needed any pain re-leaver.
- Pulling himself up on so much stuff now. Started out with mommy and daddy when we would lay on the floor with him but now have advanced to the couch.

- His exploration of the house continues and it seems like he finds something new every day that excites him.
- Napping has greatly improved. On a typical day he takes a 45 minute nap right away in the morning, 30 minutes around lunch time, and then 45 minutes in the afternoon...AMAZING!!!
- Still has the same bedtime and morning routines
- Has a great love for books and blocks, can be entertained for hours
- Favorite book is Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see? He will cry if you only read it once or twice and then put it away (extremely cute).  

- Loves helping with laundry, always pulling the clothes out of the basket. 

We usually receive a warning when he is going to go after something that he shouldn't. There is usually a giggle and then a consistent pounding on the floor from his hands and knees as he crawls as fast as he can to ensure getting there before mom and dad see what I am up to.

He has a little 'game' that can keep him entertained for quite a while. He loves to sit on the kitchen floor and use his feet to spin himself in circles. This is usually done with something held in his hands above his head and fun little squeaks coming from his mouth. Always making mommy and daddy laugh.
