8 months old!

So Jonathan is 8 months old now... its almost unbelievable lol what a big boy he's getting to be (and I know at 8 months he's not THAT big, but still! Its hard to believe that he used to be IN me lol)! I haven't blogged for a bit, so I need to list the new things he can do! He has started pulling up on everything and standing! He still doesn't have very good balance, but its so cute to watch him figure out how to grab onto things and pull up to a standing position. He's a strong little boy! He sometimes also takes a few steps when standing. He also is crawling more- and faster! If I put him down, within seconds it seems like he's where he's not supposed to be lol. And now he has 4 little teeth- two on bottom and two on the top, although the two on top are slower to come in than the bottom ones. They still are barely thru. Jonathan seems like he's changing everyday, growing more and more in lots of different ways. His face is constantly looking more and more like a toddler and less like a baby. When he smiles, its different. It's hard to explain but he grins more I guess. And most of the time he's a very happy baby- which is nice lol. :)

This past weekend, I took Jonathan to my parents house. They bought a little kiddie pool for him, and I wanted Jonathan to be able to wear the cute swim trunks and matching hat that my sister had bought for him before he grew out of them. Well as it turned out there was no need to worry, the trunks were a little large lol and kept falling down! But I got some really cute pictures of him playing in the water. He loved it! But he didn't stay in very long. I'm sure he would have stayed in the pool longer if someone had been in the pool with him, but I still don't have a swim suit that fits my post-pregnancy body lol :)
