Crawling, Climbing, and Clinging

I can't believe that I am already eight months old. I feel like such a big boy! It has just been non-stop action since I learned to crawl. Getting into things when Mommy's not looking is just one of my new favorite things to do. I like to take all my toys out of the basket; however, putting them back in is another story. I leave that to Mommy and Daddy. Grandpa bought me new toys so that whenever I visit I can look forward to playing with them. Among them is my cool trike (I'm not quite big enough for it but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy it)! He also bought me some new toys for my home. Isn't he wonderful! Since I've been moving around it's made me a lot stronger. I have learned to pull myself up to a standing position and boy is the world a lot more interesting from up there. It's getting back down to the floor that Mommy and Daddy have to sometimes assist me with. My hair is already starting to grow back. I was a little worried that Daddy might try to shave it off a third time, but Mommy has my back! Talk about growing I now have two front teeth and another one on the bottom, so in total I have five teeth! My new thing is grinding them together which I think bothers Mommy, but I only do it once in a while. Mommy and Daddy noticed that I am starting to reach up when I think that they are going to pick me up, and I hold onto them when they carry me around. Grandma likes it when I wink both of my eyes at the same time, boy you should see the grin on her face! Through and through I am having a blast learning new things and every day is an adventure.
