8 Months and Into EVERYTHING!!!

Ayden turned 8 months old on Saturday and is getting quicker at crawling and learning how to get into everything!!! At one moment it is very funny then at the next its like ok I've picked up that ten times today! I just tell myself that each phase goes so quickly I must enjoy them all! Ayden loves paper so I thought I would make a video of him getting his 8 month old sign:



Ayden's firsts this month:

-Now a pro at standing on everything!
-Moves from toy to toy on his feet and around the couch.
-Crawls quickly!
-Goes from crawling to sitting
-Loves to have his friends Jordann and Ellie over everyday!!
-Went on his first trip to Minnesota with just Mom! He did great!
-Sat through his first car buying experience. The dealer told us that our Mini Van should last for a good 16 years...Ayden I guess it will be yours some day ;)
-Says Mama and Dada
-First ER visit! A week ago Sunday Ayden was pulling himself up on the bookshelf in the dinning room while Brett and I were eating and slipped and his forehead broke his fall on the shelf. Luckly no stiches!!
-First time swinging at the park! A new favorite!
-First time cheering on the Panthers in the Sweet Sixteen!!!! Great Season Panthers!!!
-Last but not least we have really seen his personality come out more and more! Ayden is such a determined little boy! It is so fun to watch him discover new things that he can do. As soon as he puts his mind to something he is determined to become a pro at it and not stop if he falls. Ayden learning to stant took about a week and I felt like a terrible mom because he kept falling and hitting his head every time I left the room but now he hardly ever falls and when he does he doesn't hit his head anymore. This is also the case with crawling. He was determined to be able to move around the room. He tried and tried and now it great at it. We have just loved learning more and more about our little guy everyday!

Here our the normal 8 month shots...As you can see it is harder to get him to sit still :)
