Quick update

8 months. Busy, busy, busy. No crawling yet, but he's pushing back on his hands & knees and rocking. He does a little army crawl shimmy that mostly moves him backwards. Once he figures out the whole legs-need-to-move-at-different-times thing he'll be off and running.

As you can see from the photo, he's sitting up really well. He's eating more solids now, of all stripes. We're working on chunkier stuff. Which should be helped by the second tooth that FINALLY broke through, after threatening for three months.

This week has been a tad rough, in that he has a touch of croup (apparently all the kids at day care have it) and we've had our first tumble off of the changing table (he's fine. Scary as hell, tho'). Sleep has been hard to come by this week, so we're hoping the croup goes away soon.

In other news, he now has a cousin, Maren, whose pics I may post if I get permission from her parents. She came a bit early (oh boy is there a story there!) and is still in the NICU, but she'll be out soon and she's doing well and is just gorgeous. Nicolai, as you can see, is very happy about this development.
