Best Friends

Miller has a new interest - Winston. He can't get enough of him. Every time Winston leaves the room Miller tries to follow him. Anything Winston does is HILARIOUS to Miller (so maybe I'm not the only thing he finds funny!). It's really cute, but also kind of annoying to keep having to chase Miller down and keep him from pulling Winston's tail.

Winston is really sweet with him, though I think he's getting annoyed as well. Winston loves to lick Miller's face, and he's a big fan of this new eating thing, as more food ends up on the ground than in Miller's mouth. But there are definitely times when I can tell Winston wishes it was a little calmer around here.

Here are a few pics of the two of them Friday morning, just hanging out together.

Pulling Up

A couple of weeks ago, Miller started crying in the middle of the night. I went into his room and it was totally dark. I started feeling around in the crib and couldn't find him! He was crying and I knew I was right next to him, but I kept feeling around and couldn't find him. I then looked up and saw that he was standing in the crib and looking down at me! It was such a surprise, I'd never seen him pull up before!

Anyways, it's now a very common occurrence, so much so that we've dropped his crib down another notch just to be careful. He's crawling everywhere and pulling up on everything in site. It's so exciting to see him change and learn.

Here's a video I filmed the next morning, he thinks it's funny when I start to run in towards him and then back up. Have I mentioned how fun it is to have someone that finds everything I do hilarious?! It's great for self-esteem. :)

8 Months!

Little man is 8 months old!

He's eating a real variety of foods now, mixing up purees with some finger foods. His favorite thing right now are these little puffy things that taste like cheese. I started by introducing organic kale flavored puffs (which he hated, shocking!) and now am basically feeding him cheetos! But, he loves them and it's how he's learning to feed himself, so it's fine by me. :)

He's also crawling everywhere, pulling up and almost standing on his own. I think it's finally time to take this babyproofing thing seriously.

Here are some pics from the day he turned 8 months.

Center of Attention

A crowd around Miller on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon.

Seven Months Old

It feels as if we blinked and Miller went from baby to little boy. He's talking up a storm - lots of "dadadada" and "mamama". I'm sure he's just doing the normal baby babbling that leads to actual words, but it's fun to hear nonetheless!

He's also starting to look like a little boy, he loves to stand (assisted of course!) and is almost crawling! Right now it's more of a scoot, but it looks like it'll develop into a full crawl any day now.

Here are some pictures from the day he turned 7 months.

Lazy Sunday

Swing swing
