8 Months and Mobile?!?

8 MONTHS OLD!!!

James celebrated his 8 month birthday while staying with the Dahl's (in fact, Mary celebrated her birthday the same day!!) This month has brought many new fun changes. He is much more balanced while sitting, he rolls all over the place, and he now scoots BACKWARD!! It is hilarious! I put him in the family room today and had to answer the phone, while on the phone, I watched him scoot backwards all the way into the kitchen and under the kitchen table where he got stuck between chair legs! It was so funny! His other new trick is that from a laying position, he can get up into a sitting position! I have found him SITTING in his crib after his naps!! Good thing I lowered that crib!! What a fun stage this is. He is babbling a lot now and prefers the DADADA's over the MAMAMA's no matter how much I coach him. He also has started patty caking and is so darn proud of himself! It seems he is just growing and changing and learning new tricks over night! We never know what the next day is going to bring! So fun!!!
