8 months?!?!

Where have the last 8 months gone?! Time seems to fly by these days, but Michael turned 8 months old this week. He is into everything and keeps us all on our toes. He always seems to be "busy" - so much so that sometimes he doesn't want to nap because he has other things to do. Here are some of the latest pictures:





TEETH!! Michael's first tooth popped through on the bottom about a month ago, but he has been very protective. I have just now gotten pictures where you can actually see the tooth (barely).

He also has the two on top - which were not fun to cut apparently. Only one fussy day per tooth is not bad, right??

These are his "8 month pictures". As you can see - he is hard to catch because of the constant distractions. Is it a good thing that he is so observant and curious?? He tried to eat the bark....

Ah.....the wind in my hair! His hair is getting long on top and curling some when its wet.

And my personal favorite - LOOK AT ME! I CAN STAND ON MY OWN! Today he was able to stand on his own, squat down for a toy and ALMOST made it back to a standing position. I counted today and Michael can stand on his own for almost a minute. We are also starting to take a few steps on our own...
