Eight Months

__________________________________________________________________________

Eight months old! Wow! I know we say it every month, but he just keeps getting better and better! He is so much fun right now, with his huge grins and belly laughs. He is incredibly curious and so much fun! 

• He's been pulling to a stand on pretty much anything he can get his little hands on! Usually it's my legs or arms, but furniture, toys and boxes will do too.

• Sometimes he'll wake up during a nap or at night, and settle back to sleep on his stomach! He started by mushing his head straight down into the mattress which was a little nerve-wracking, but he seems to have gotten the hang of it now!

• He's scooting and sliding all over on his stomach! He's mostly moving backwards, so it usually leads to him getting tangled in a toy or stuck under some furniture:

• New best friend: himself! He loves to play with the big mirror in our room. He'll stand up and press against it, smiling and mushing his face against it:

• He just got his third tooth! The top left one came in, and we can see where the top right one is starting to cut through as well.

• He is still so adorable when he peeks to find us when we're hiding!

• His hair is getting so long! We should probably cut it soon... but we're not ready yet!!

• He's drinking from a straw now! He didn't like the sippy cup, so we got him one with a straw, and he loves it!

• He clapped for a few days when we asked him to, but now he's stopped... so when he starts again we'll get a good video!

We love you so much, Ben! Happy 8 months!
