Baby H.--8 Months

Why does no one every tell you how fast time goes with a baby?



This month we...

finally appreciated the Johnny Jump Up (pillows were added because he liked to smash his head into the door frame)

went on a swing for the first time

enjoyed playing with non-toys more than real toys.

wore this shirt, made this face and made mommy laugh so hard.

loved standing.

pulled himself onto his knees.

learned to put himself to sleep, which always leads to sleeping on his face or sprawled out arms.

learned how to feed himself.

almost brushed his teeth correctly.

learned to pull himself up
