I AM 8 MONTHS OLD.

WELL! Daddy, Mommy, and Grandma and Grandpa will all tell you that I have been really changing by leaps and bounds this month, and that I am learning something new almost every single day! Last month I learned to sit up when someone sat me up, but I could not move from that place and eventually would fall over.  This month though, I really began by rolling all over the place, and began getting my legs in position to make them more handy.

All kinds of stretching around trying to find out just what these appendages would do. OK, well finally, On June 16th, I figured out at least one thing, and that was that I could sit up all by my self with out any help at all.

Even Maggie thought that was very interesting, and she was there cheering me on in her own little doggy language.

Pretty soon, I  thought it would be a fun thing to be able to sit different places and also to reach some things that were farther away. Grandma was really excited one day when she and Grandpa were having dinner with mommy and daddy. I was in the living room, and grandma thought I was trying to crawl. She kept saying come on over and see me, and then she sat one of my toys over on the other side of the room, and the first thing you know I was crawling. That first crawling day was on June 27th, and I have not stopped since.  Grandma and Grandpa were so excited to see that and they cheered me on! Daddy got such a cute video too of my first time to crawl.

Really getting around great after a few days and that prompted mommy and daddy to go out and get some safety things for our house.

On June 29th, Aunty Heather and cousin Sam came to grandma and grandpa's house and we were all invited for dinner there. I really loved seeing my cousin Sam and was a real little flirt.  I gave him so many smiles and batted my eyelashes at him every chance I got.

Cousin Sam liked me too and the first thing you know we were playing video games together.

I even got to try on his new hat! We really had fun

Another thing that I am just beginning to learn is that when mommy asks me for some sugar, she wants a big kiss, and I am trying to figure that one out. Mommy thinks that is so cute and she just loves my sugar.

When I really give some good sugar, I might even get a piggy back ride.

Another fun thing I like is to practice standing up on mommy's feet

So another big surprise, in addition to all of the other things that I have learned, today, July 7th, when grandma and mommy were talking, all of a sudden, there I was standing up and looking at them over the table. Wow! What a surprise. Grandma also thinks that I may have waved bye bye at here.... for sure I am trying!  Anyway, this has been a really busy month for me. Grandma is beginning to think and suspect that I am growing up too soon.... Sure have learned a lot this month..... and oh, one more  thing! MY FIRST TOOTH POPPED OUT ON JULY 3RD!  MY BOTTOM RIGHT TOOTH AND ALTHOUGH IT IS OUT I REALLY DON'T WANT ANYONE LOOKING AT IT OR TOUCHING IT RIGHT NOW.    WHAT A MONTH!!!!!
