8 Quick Months

Caleb is officially 8 months old today. I have to say that I love this age so much. Click on the above picture to see how cute he is! In the last month, Caleb has gone from thinking about being mobile to being a great crawler. This has brought new challenges to Jon and me as far as making sure he is safe. I feel like I have to watch him more than ever. Crawling has also been fun because it is a way for Caleb to show his personality more and more. Often times, he crawls up to me and pulls on my clothes wanting me to pick him up. I am sure that this will getting annoying at some point, but right now I think it is really sweet. Caleb continues to love Heidi, but she has lost a little of interest in him now that he can crawl up to her and wake her up from her naps. Usually she is really good around him. Caleb is just thinking about starting to pull up on things. He sort of pulls up to his knees right now. I am sure that by 9 months, he will be pulling all the way up to his feet. He still has no teeth- although I have thought countless times that he is teething (from 5 months on up). He seems to have the symptoms: lots of slobber, random crying for no apparent reason, and wanting to chew on everything. I guess those could be symptoms of teething or just symptoms of being a baby. Despite, his lack of teeth, Caleb has starting on peach puffs and loves them (thanks from him and Heidi to Grammy Pace!) Well, here the little guy is now pulling on my pant leg. Happy 8 months old Caleb!

Happy 8 months Caleb! Andrew didn't get teeth for a long time. We took him to the dentist to make sure teeth were under those gums. (Talk about a nervous parents!) We haven't tried puffs with Owen yet, I think we'll start this week. Glad to see that Heidi is enjoying them too. See you in a few days!
