Update on milestones

M.E. you are already 8 months old, so I have to quickly update you on everything you've done.

You were born 8.9.2008 weighing 6lbs 15 oz. Mama had natural childbirth and it was tough but also amazing. I couldn't have done it without daddy though- he coached me the whole way.

Here are several other milestones you've accomplished and when you first did them (I wrote them on the calendar to remember). I have pictures of you doing some of them.

Picking your head up ~ 3 months 11.13.08.

Rolling over front to back ~3 months 11.28.08.

Rolling back to front ~4 months 12.29.08. Uncle Luke and Aunt Katy were here to witness that one.

First reaches ~ 5 months 1.30.09. You wanted a blue chip clip at the dinner table.

Sitting up with no support ~ 6 months 2.13.09.

First rice cereal ~ 6 months 2.14.09. Despite the picture you really didn't like it. It constipated you and we backed off for a while. We picked up again with carrots at 7 months.

First scoots ~ 6 months 2.26.09 You moved just a couple of inches.

First babbles /dada/ ~ 7 months 3.12.09.

Earliest form of crawl ~ 7 months 3.24.09. When you're on the bed you got up on your feet and threw your head in front of you while pulling forward a bit with your hands. You still do this now sometimes- it's funny to see. Sometimes you even try to do this while nursing...

First pull to stand ~ 8 months 4.10.09. You used part of the sofa and part of dad to pull up. You did the same thing later that day while reading a book and used the book to pull you up.

First army crawl ~ 8 months 4.16.09. Today! You were crawling all over the floor today you moved across the whole living room floor. You still like to go backwards and sometimes end up in a corner.
