8 Months!


Hayden turned 8 months on September 1st. It was as if he knew. Last week he started babbling all the time. Dadadada, babababa, and some other things that sound like things like "I love you" but not quite. More like "Iwawu" as he crawls on mommy and buries his face in my stomach. He decided to cut two teeth this week. He started feeding himself this week because he didn't want to eat from a spoon (and Sadie found her new best friend at mealtimes.) He learned how to crawl up stairs (though it is just too much work to do that all the time.) He got really good at pulling himself to standing. He's a little speed demon at crawling which is why we had to instate the "baby prison" aka the playpen which amazingly he seems to like and keeps him entertained and safe for awhile while we eat or get some things done. It has been a whirlwind of a week. It seems like just when you think you've
got it all down, he changes. It's always a little wistful to see him grow out of clothes, and toys, and past certain stages. It really does go fast. I love each new stage though and will enjoy this one while we're here. Here are some fun pictures to show you his development this month.

Everything is a teething toy...this one actually is though
