8 Months Week 1

Ben's first week as an 8th month old baby was so exciting that it deserves its own post. He decided that he needed to start his month out with a bang and became serious about moving. On his 8 month birthday he pulled himself all the way to standing for the first time!

Later in the week he finally figured out how to transform his worm into a crawl and he hasn't looked back. His cute little crawl gains many "oohhs" and "ahhs" from his parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, dogs, and anyone or anything else that cares to watch. He also became incredibly vocal throughout the week and as he crawls he makes adorable sounds that Tessa thinks are lick-worthy.

Of course, with all of his new skills, he has started to get some inevitable bumps and bruises as he cruises across our floor. Thankfully, I am always close by for a good snuggle (and sometimes a visit to the buffet if the pain is really bad.)
