8(ish) Months old

Charlie is 8 months old! Well, he has been for a while. But I just took his pictures yesterday.
He's is back on track with his weight - and is gaining really well now. He's a little over 17 lbs, still little, but getting a few rolls.

I guess I need to get his haircut.

He has been a real joy at night recently : ) Poor guy is cutting all four top teeth at the same time. Lots of drool, off and on fever, snot. Infants Tylenol and Oragel are no match.

I just keep telling myself that this stage will pass. Maybe tonight is the night! I mean, it wasn't like he slept through the night before. But, at least he wasn't screaming every hour or two.
Side note - his two top teeth haven't come through yet - just the two next to them. I'm a little worried he won't ever get front teeth.

He is truly a joy during the day. He's crawling, waving, pulling himself up.
I'm hoping he learns to get down after he pulls himself up in the crib. He just gets "stuck" and screams. He gives really, really good hugs.
He follows Jackson and Cooper around. Jackson loves it. Cooper doesn't.

It is becoming increasingly difficult for him to sit still in the chair.


ooh, a blanket!


oh, oh! a camera!


Motor boat. It's his favorite noise.
Also is saying "mamama...." and "dadadada"

Whoa. Almost fell off the chair after this.


Cooper helped with the "photo shoot"


Sometimes I put clothes on him.

I'll hopefully take Charlie's 9 month pictures in a week.
We will see how much he changes between now and then!
