8 months!

8 months... where has the time gone? Our once tiny little man is growing up so fast and so so busy. He just doesn't want to slow down! He is always in go mode (with a smile of course). He is pulling himself up to standing, his legs are getting so strong, and with a spotter, (me) he crawled up the entire flight of stairs. Like I said, this kid doesn't want to slow down until he is running a marathon! (hopefully right next to Mom and Dad!) The past few weeks of Henry starting to pull up to standing have been tough -- he has taken a few spills, but nothing will slow this kid down :)  Henry has found his love for pulling hair -- he pulls mine, and he pulls Charlie's -- hard. Poor Mr. Pickles (Charlie's nickname around here) takes some major abuse from Henry -- but simply just gives Henry a few kisses and chooses to stay near and see what else is in store for him! Henry is also teething again -- the top two are about ready to pop through, but he's still smiling as much as ever! 

We don't go to the doctor until 9 months, but here are some Henry 8 Month Stats:
