8 Months

Asher man is eight months old, which is hard to believe.  We have been beyond busy, but having a lot of fun.  It sure doesn't leave much time for blogging, though.  I am still trying to update as much as I can!  Asher is not much of a baby anymore.  He is just a few months away from being a full out TODDLER.  The kid wants to GO GO GO!  He is happy but very busy at the same time.  At 8 months Asher:
1.  Has two bottom teeth.  He hasn't been sleeping very good, but at least we have two teeth down and about a million to go ha ha.  I will miss that gummy grin!
2.  Is walking!  He can take up to 6/7 steps before crashing back onto his bottom.  He is so proud of himself and will stand by himself for several minutes just waving his arms and talking.  He lives to walk.
3.  Is saying a new word: YAY!  He says this after knocking down block towers especially.  He is saying a lot of high pitch things, but one time we caught clear as day him saying, "Asher lost!" while they were playing the  quiet game.
4.  Has a very different relationship with Cora and Eli.  It has been wonderful to watch their relationships grow, and I was always afraid he and Eli might not be very close because they are over 4 years apart, but that is definitely NOT the case.  Asher has a sweet bond with both the kids and is so happy to see them.  He loves to play hide and seek, dance, tag, or ball with the kids.
5.  Is throwing and rolling balls.  He loves balls and will now sit on the floor and play ball with the big kids.  It is adorable!
6.  Has created his own form of crawling with one leg forward and one leg back.  He can't get very far or very fast, but he does make his way across the room eventually.  I have to be extra cautious that small toys or food don't get left on the floor.
7.  Is eating more variety and we have added a couple finger foods to his diet, which he LOVES.  He's had puffs and these teething rice crackers.
8.  Weighs about 17.5 lbs, which can get pretty darn heavy after holding him for a while.
