You turned 8 months old over the weekend. There are days when it feels like forever and then there are those where I feel like it was just last week that we brought you home and I was freaking out about taking care of you and what that all meant.
You are really doing a lot of moving and talking. We don't have a clue what you are saying but you are telling us all your thoughts (keep that up). Not only are you crawling now, but you are pulling up to stand and trying to move once standing. You are so strong! A lot of the time you use your arms as well as you face to get standing. I don't get it, but if it works for you then go for it. You don't nap much at daycare so we spend much of the work week with you sleeping when you get home. We might get 30 minutes of play time out of you, but that is ok, it won't last forever. You so have started crying when I leave you at daycare, or even sometimes when I leave the room. I tell you where I am going and when I will be back every time and you still cry. Hoping this is a brief time for that because it kills me every morning. Not sure if it is just your stage for separation anxiety, or if it is because you are so tired.
Still always smiling (when we are in the room) and playful. We are getting ready to go on our first long road trip and vacation next week. I am anxious about how you will do for so long in the car. You will probably do fine, it is just the not knowing that is hard.
We love you more every day and more than we ever thought our hearts could hold!
Love Mom and Dad
