Happy 8 month, Little Man!

Each month I'm blown away by how big he's getting - both in size and by what he can do now. Here are some milestones that he has accomplished between 7 & 8 months:
* He not only pulls himself up on the furniture, but cruises around between all of them effortlessly. In fact, we've now had to "rope" off a Tristan-designated area (also known as the dog-free zone) so that he can cruise as he wishes.
* He loves to give hugs and snuggles :)
* He can (somewhat) give kisses, although they are more open-mouthed and kind of sloppy :)
*He now has six teeth poking through!
* He also "talks" by saying "dada", "mama" & "baba" although he doesn't really know what they mean. He just rattles off those syllables at any time. Sometimes it also sounds like he says "Bella".
* Now that he has had a taste for "real" food and not just jars of baby food or a bottle, he constantly wants whatever we are eating. His favorites lately have been bread and bananas. Any time we're eating one of these foods, he insists that he needs to have some, too. I don't think it's going to be long before he refuses his bottle and insists on a much more gourmet menu!


Here are some pictures of our growing boy!
