8 Months

James is 8 months old today! I can hardly believe he has been a part of our lives for almost as long as I was pregnant. He brings such joy to us everyday and makes us smile all the time. He has been crawling for almost a month and is just getting faster and faster. He also is trying to pull himself up to stand, but he is only successful by the stairs or dishwasher that are lower to the ground. He is becoming more interested in his food and I think he is starting to realize that it is more than a fun toy to play with. Now that he is 8 months we can expand his diet a little bit more by incorporating cheese, yogurt, egg yolks, meats, and more exciting fruits like blueberries and kiwi's. So far James doesn't seem to show any signs of allergies. He is back to sleeping better now that his bottom two teeth arrived, but is still waking between 3-5am to nurse. I can't imagine a night of sleeping 8 hours straight. Ahh,maybe someday! James is such a happy baby and we LOVE him so much!
