The best 8 months ever!

Nathan is 8 months old today and so wonderful!

I did my own measurements on his height and weight and he is 24.2lbs and 28 inches tall, a very solid kid! He is on his way to independence, he is crawling so good now, and has figured out how to pull him self up to standing first in his crib and now at the couch. Its super cute, he gets his hands on what he wants to reach and then scoots his knees up closer to it and then he gets all balanced and puts one foot up and then the other. Very carefully so as to not tip over. So smart and studious, he just practiced for like 20 minutes one day on my knees making sure he did it right and carefully, I am glad that he is so smart and developing but I am wondering if I should have tried to deter him from it, because now he's hard to keep out of trouble! Always reaching for the things he shouldn't.

Here's a cute video I took of him pulling himself up.

looking at him I would never guess he weights that much, but once you pick him up you can feel his strong muscles! Soon he will be all slim again from all the crawling. So cute!

I would totally love taking photos of Nate! Still at Harmon's and still going to school. Doing 6 cred hrs during the summer so I can enjoy a little of it! Anyway - I will email you and we can get together to take photos!
