8 months!

In the past month we've:

• Started crawling! 
• Tasted everything.  No, really.  Everything goes in the mouth.
• Been reaching to be picked up.  Mostly by mom and dad.
• Started babbling and saying "Dad Dad Dad Dad!"
• Been giving lots of precious"hugs."
• Poked the heck out of both ears.  So much so that we earned a trip to the doctor to make sure all was okay.  Turns out we're on the way to a tooth for realz.
• Tipped the scales at 24 lbs 8 oz.
• Enjoyed grabbing for wires.  Which has inspired short bursts of baby proofing around the house. But we've got a lot more yet to do!
• Been working on our pincher grasp!  We're close!  But those dang poofs are sticky.
• LOVED walking with the assistance of anyone who will hold his hands :)
