8 Months Old

It's amazing how fast time flies. Caleb has become such a little boy now. He is full of personality and energy. Every minute is filled with joy and excitement. And of course he is cute as a button. He looks at me and smiles and just melts my heart. I know I'm going to be in trouble as he gets older. He talks a lot now too. He says Dada but not directed at Chad yet. He really is just babbling. My favorite is to watch him talk while he is holding a book. I love it. I'm sure he will be saying Dada and Mama soon.

He has become quite the crawler. He finds it entertaining to go where he isn't supposed and he gets there fast. He is like a little rocket. Once you catch up with him, he laughs at the fact you caught him. He is all of the place and into everything but what little boy isn't. He is also standing up and walking around the furniture. I can't believe he is standing already. He started standing right after he began crawling. He is quite the grabber too. Anything that is within his reach will end up in his hands. He grabs everything and anything. In fact he loves to stand at the end tables and tries to grab anything within his reach. We have had to completely get rid of the coffee table due to his standing. It had become more of a safety hazard.

Breastfeeding is coming to an end. I feel very fortunate to have made it this far. Since going back to work my suppy has slowly decreased. We have had to supplement with formula a little. I'm slowly becoming ok with giving up nursing. I'm just very grateful that I was able to nurse him for this long.

Still no teeth yet. Which doesn't surprise me since I didn't have any teeth until I was a year old. Caleb is doing great at night. He goes to bed around 8pm and sleeps until 6am or 7am. I will not complain about that. I definitely feel like a new person now that I"m getting some good sleep at night.

Everyday I'm amazed more and more by the stuff Caleb has learned or is doing.
