It looks like 8 months was a big month for little Evan. This month was full of firsts for him and we had so much fun watching. He finally started crawling... and I mean finally not because I was in any hurry, but it seemed like he was going to start at 6 months. That's when he was on all fours. I really didn't want him to crawl too early because it gave me peace of mind to know that if I set him somewhere, he wasn't going to go anywhere. But after seeing how frustrated he was becoming by his attempts to go forward only to go backwards, I started to feel for the little guy.
Then, the day after we got back from Michigan I noticed he had a tooth coming in. The bottom right. No wonder he had been so fussy the past few days.
So after his first big conquest of mobility, he quickly graduated to standing up. As long as he has something to hold on to, he pulls himself right up. Needless to say, I cannot leave him for a second now and babyproofing is way overdue! He has put so many things in his mouth. And here Matt was so worried about people passing on germs... If he only knew all the things that have gone into his mouth.
Ahhhh (sigh). But its a joy. Really, I'm not being sarcastic. I love having a little baby. Listening to him babble and laugh. Its the greatest.
