Eight is Great

Our little man is eight months old!  Eight is my favorite number, so this is a fun one to celebrate.  When someone asks me how old Alex is now & I say "eight months", they usually say - oh, that's such a fun age!  And I agree.  His personality is really starting to come out, he's interactive & he loves exploring his world.  Plus, he doesn't really understand "no" yet so he's not flat out defying me yet & I don't have to worry about the best way to discipline him.  Ha!  It won't be long, though.  When I tell him "no", he looks at me & gives a devious grin.  I have a feeling we're going to have our hands full with this one.  J

Other updates this month: he got his second tooth (handled it like a pro), he's a FAST crawler, he pulls up on everything, he's a climber (eek!), he definitely lets you know when he's not getting what he wants (he gives a little shriek that makes me laugh), he gets bumps & bruises but it doesn't slow him down much.
Eight months old!

Seriously, what is it with babies and remotes? When Ryan was that age I finally took the batteries out of an old remote and deemed it his. (I was such a softie back then....)
