My Mom is pretty busy chasing me around the house, so she asked I write an update about what I've been up to (I wrote one at 6 months, too. See that post here).
Well, I am 8 months now. Which feels pretty big because I am doing some pretty cool stuff. For example, I figured out how to move around the house... on my own! At first, I figured out I could pull up, stand, and move my legs to get around. My mom sure looked surprised (and pleased) when she saw me standing in my crib that first morning...
After I mastered cruising around on foot, I figured I'd finally try that thing they call crawling. I got the hang of it this month, although I much prefer to stand up if I can (see videos below that my mom uploaded).
My favorite things this month are:
Playing "take the ball" with the dog
Grabbing big brother's toys when no one is looking (I've got a ninja-speed grip)
Harassing the doggy (who I call "augh")
Babbling in different sounds and consonants
Following the doggy
Laughing with big brother
Pulling at the doggy's ears
Pulling at mommy's hair
Waving and clapping
Figuring out how objects go together (like sunglasses go on on daddy's head) and sharing objects (like giving the doggy his ball, or a piece of food...)
Can you tell I really like the doggy?
Well, I'm off to bedtime. My parents have me on a pretty set schedule these days, but I feel very rested and only wake my mom once or twice at night to eat.
Also, I will have my Mom write soon about our recent adventures to the Tri-Cities. So check back soon for a new update.
