8 MONTHS OLD!

The things McCrea loves to do at 8 months!Sleep! Sweet Dreams!Eating! Holding his own bottle!

Crawl!

Watching himself in the mirror!

Pulling himself up on things!

Swinging!

Going, Going, Gone! McCrea is on the move! He doesn't want to be confined to anything or anybody anymore. In only two weeks he has become an expert at crawling. McCrea has gone from crawling to pulling himself up on everything. He even can stand without help for a few seconds and then he plops down on his butt and tries it again. He also started climbing stairs. We took him to a little play area that had three steps and off he went right for the stairs and up he went. He felt very triumphant as he made it to the top. He is very active and is willing to try new things. He is so funny. McCrea has been sick with a fever and cold this month. After taking him to the doctor for a check up he is now weighing in at 19lbs 4ozs. After a couple weeks of being sick he is now feeling better and up to his usual shenanigans.

McCrea loves to be in front of the mirrors. He stands up and gives himself slobbery kisses all over. There is lots of slobber and smear streaks all over. He also likes to stare at himself for hours. Hopefully, he won't be too vain when he's older. McCrea also likes to throw his toys and he then crawls over to it, picks it up and throws it again. This is a fun little game that he has created for himself. It entertains him for awhile. It's so fun to watch. McCrea is a fan of paper. He loves it and wants to eat it at every opportunity. Lorelei seems to leave many art projects out on the table and the first thing he is after is the paper on the table. We will have to watch him so he doesn't swallow and choke on anything. It's time to childproof the house!
