8 Months Old

He's growing up so fast. I can't believe it has already been 8 months since we welcomed this little guy into our family. Every day has been filled with new adventures and new adjustments. New laughter and a ton more love. I don't know how we got along without him.

He is a happy and busy guy. No new height or weight stats, that will come next month. He is still army crawling, he can get up on all fours, but finds the army crawl much more productive and a lot faster. He is very determined and doesn't let anything get in his way. He has gotten better about sitting up and has even started pulling himself up on all sorts of things. He has also started to experiment with his voice. I've nick named him my holler monkey. He lets out shrieks if he feels you are ignoring him by passing by him, or leaving the room. It is very hard to keep him contained to one spot these days.

I am happy to report that he finally likes his jumperoo. This is his new hobby while I am cooking or cleaning the kitchen. It is the only way I can protect him these days. Some days that doesn't even work - his siblings love to bug him.
He gets himself stuck very often these days. He is able to climb between the couches and tables, but hasn't learned how to turn corners.
Baby Jail. This is Zoe's solution to keeping him out of trouble. Jack thought it was funny, me not so much.
An example of climbing on things. Look how proud of himself he is.
He loves the vacuum. And all other electrical cords.
Trying out the big boy stroller. I've decided to take up walking with the two younger kids while Noah is at school.
Can't wait to see what this next month brings.

Hey, it looks just like our double stroller - although I am jealous that you were able to go for walks while Noah was in school. Three kids is tricky. Time for Dallin to master the bike I think. You do such a good job at documenting Jack's growth. I think my blog needs an update of those things. They are going to be toddlers before we know it and into even more trouble! Isn't it fun? I love your kids. If you ever want any company at the park, give us a holler, we're always up for outside time with friends!

I can't believe how fast the time has gone by either. We should go on more walks with all six children now.
