8 months old....

Here we are - 8 months old! I must admit that this pictures are getting tougher to take ... as you can see he is quite interested in his monthly signs now :) Our 7th month brought another tooth and Nicholas learned how to pull himself up. The transition from 7 to 8 months has been quite busy! When Nicholas came home from daycare on the eve of his 8 month b-day, his daily activity sheet said he spent the day praticing crawling??? Dan and I laughed and said 'Nicholas doesn't know how to crawl'. Then we turned around and low and behold, there was Nicholas army crawling across the family room. You go! Then that night when I heard him stirring I looked in the video monitor and found him sitting in his crib..... when I looked again, he was standing in his crib!! So Nicholas can now 'crawl' and get into a sitting position all by himself. Life will never be the same :) No more leaving him in the middle of the floor to run to the bathroom anymore! I think month 8 will be full of spills, thrills and babyproofing!! I must say though that Nicholas has been in such a great mood since discovering his new talents. He's been getting so frustrated not being able to get to where he wants to go! Not an issue anymore.


As for sleeping thru the night - I'm convinced that's just an old wives tale!
