So Grant- 8 months
New skills...walking along furniture and trying to stand on his own but not successful for very long, playing peekaboo and "so big". Also dances when music starts playing by bouncing and waving arms around.
Still isn't a big fan of eating but we keep trying and his grasp is getting better so he can easily get puffs into his mouth now. Actually, he also gets crumbs from the floor into his mouth too somehow, even the tiny ones! We vacuum almost daily...hope this phase passes soon.
Tyler and Grant interact more and more...they will crawl around on the floor chasing each other, they both always want whatever toy the other has. Grant usually goes along with it and doesn't put up too much of a fight when Tyler grabs something from him. That won't always be the case, I'm sure!
Grant went to ChildWatch at the Y a couple times this month...once I went to get them and they were both sitting on the floor in the big kids (not infant) play area looking at a toy. The workers told me that Grant had been crying in the baby area so they brought him over to see his brother and he had been fine ever since! Seeing them sitting there together playing with a toy (and not fighting over it) was the best! All in one moment I thought how awesome it was that they have each other AND that we must be doing something right since they don't always act so agreeable at home but apparently they do in public!
Grant is also more of a snuggler than I remember Tyler being...he always lays his head down on my shoulder when I shut the light off for naptime or bedtime. He's still a thumb sucker, which multiplies the cuteness factor.
I took him to get 8 mo photos taken, he did NOT smile. The "stranger danger" phase is in full force right now too. I'll have to dig those pictures out and get some posted! Here's one from Easter- so the end of 8 months-
