I'm 8 months old!

It’s been a busy month for me. First of all, I got my first tooth! It’s just popping through the skin so Mommy hasn’t gotten any good pictures of it yet. My parents sure thought teething made me crabby, until I saw the doctor and found out I have double ear infections. Ouch! I’ve had a rough few weeks of stuffy noses and not sleeping well at night, but I’m on the mend now.

I can’t quite crawl yet but I have a whole repertoire of scooting positions. I can do the worm (pulling myself forward by my arms) and the crab crawl (on my hands and tiptoes with my bottom up in the air). I like to stand up (with help) and hold on to the stair railings. I am also realizing that I can start to chase Loco now! I continue to babble a lot. I love to hear myself scream and grunt LOUD! It’s especially fun to scream in quiet places like church or the library. Mommy loves that!

I have all kinds of fun toys that I continue to master. Mommy says that every day she notices something new I can do (pull a lever on a toy, drop a ball through the hoop, etc.). I also like story books. I can turn the pages, but sometimes I like to read the book backwards. I love to laugh! I like to play peek-a-boo games with Daddy. Mommy always tickles me and I love it! Here's a video of me doing my "worm" scoot. Enjoy! Love, Micah
