8 months old

Today Caelum is 8 months old...and just like the other 7 months I have said, where has the time gone?!  He is growing up way too fast!!  Besides "growing like a weed," he is learning new things weekly if not daily!!  This weekend he has been trying to perfect getting up on all fours!  He has been moving around the room by either scooting backwards or just turning in circles on his belly.  But the past few mornings I go in his room to get him out of bed and he is up on all fours and will do so when we are playing on the floor.  He loves to stand up and jump with you holding him in your lap or let him stand in front of you.  He is truly loved by his teachers at school...not only his teachers but all of the teachers love him and come and "steal" him and take him around to visit everyone at the school.  And for most nights he is sleeping through the nights with an occasional waking maybe once or twice a week at night.  Unfortunately he is still not a fan of taking long naps, just cat naps throughout the day, but then we do not want to complain because most nights he sleeps through them and we have to even wake him up for school.  It seems he might be our one who loves to sleep because we go in to wake him, and he stirs for a second then goes back to sleep.  He loves to fight to go to sleep but once asleep at night he is good to go.  We are slowly introducing table food to him....this week he had spaghetti for the first time and seemed to like it.  We have tried peas before but seems to choke on the skin, and he eats bananas and of course waffles.  But slowly but surely we will get to more foods should he not choke - he seems to choke easy on everything thus far!

These are a few pictures from today that we took of him....he has finally noticed the paper with the number on it and was more interested in that rather than taking a picture!!  Oh well, you get the gist of it!!
