My lil monster

I can't believe that on Saturday.. in 2 days my lil man will be 8 months old. I love just sitting and watching him reach and pass the littlest to the hardest milestones that a baby has to pass. I was soo proud when he started rolling over, front to back, then back to front at 2-3 months. Transitioning him to his crib was a blessing in disguise. I thought that it would never happen. It seemed like it was going to take forever for it to finally happen, but it finally did.
 Thinking back to all of that, and me remembering thinking how I just wish he would start crawling soon, because I just knew he would be much more content if he was mobile. Now I'm wondering what the rush was, ha! He started what we called zombie crawling at 6 1/2-7 months. He did this weird one armed pull thing across the floor, until eventually he started using his leg. He was very capable of getting on his knees, but couldn't quite figure out how to crawl that way.  He slowly started to manuver a few crawl steps on his knees and hands, but seemed like he felt that doing the army crawl got him to places alot faster. Before you knew it, he started pulling up on things, and that was his favorite thing to do. He always loved standing, but now that he could figure out how to stand on his own, he was in heaven, and we lowered the crib. Out of the blue he started crawling like a normal baby, soon after he popped out two of his lower teeth (his first teeth!!) and its soo fun watching him. He's becoming more adventurous, and has started following us around the house, and its the cutest thing ever. He's also now taking a bath like a big boy, and couldn't be happier that he can move around in the tub now! He's cruising along the couch, and will walk when you hold his hands, and am getting anxious to see him attempt walking on his own, much less stand on his own for more then a few seconds. Even though he's only got two teeth, he's eating and managing to eat more and more table food. He gets along with other kids and people so well, that i have no doubt he will be a great big brother.I love my lil man soo much, and I thank every day for him.
