Crawling, standing....

...what's next? Driving?!

Max just started crawling Sunday night. But he'd rather stand! He's constantly using whatever piece of furniture, toy, pillow to pull himself up to a standing position. What's so funny is once he gets up, he doesn't know he has to continue to hold on, he thinks he can just stand. So we've become his training wheels. We've got to hold him up so he doesn't come crashing down. Although, he does fall a lot too. He's tough though, it doesn't seem to bother him much. He just looks at you, like "what happen?"

Here he is on his Tonka truck.

8 months old already!!!

Everyone said it would fly by and they were all right. Max turns 8 months on Saturday! I always compare the time to how long it felt to be pregnant. It seemed I was pregnant forever and these 8 months have gone so fast, I can't believe it.


He's learning so much everyday. He's just about to crawl, he gets up and rocks back and forth, but when he tries to move a hand forward to move he does a faceplant. He stands up very well though. He can pull himself up with the help of something to hold on to. Once he's standing though, he's very unstable. So of course we hold on to him. But he doesn't realize he's being held and thinks he's doing it all by himself.

He's been sleeping in his crib for 2 weeks now. I'm not sleeping any better or for longer, but it's a start.

He is also beginning to eat solid foods. He only has his 2 bottom teeth (top ones are trying to break through) but he can eat these crunchy baby puffed wheat things. He loves 'em. We are trying to add more real food to his diet. He's tried avocados, potatoes, cottage cheese, yogurt and frozen juice pops.

The picture is of him in his new Kicks. They're Nike's...super cute!
