8 Months

Wow! 8 MONTHS!!! I can hardly believe it. Collin sure has grown up a lot over the past 4 weeks. He is now sleeping ALL NIGHT LONG EVERY NIGHT from about 7:00 pm until 5:30 am…if he’d sleep until 6:30 I’d be the happiest mommy in the world, but beggars can’t be choosers so we’ll take it! He eats like a horse…which I’m guessing contributes to his ability to sleep all night without waking…coupled with his constant go-go-go-all-day-long nature. This kid is NON-STOP! If you looked up trouble in the dictionary, his picture would be located there. He is into EVERYTHING and is such a daredevil! Madeline doesn’t make matters any easier as she is CONSTANTLY trying to carry him around. She’s also gotten to be quite possessive with her things now that he can so easily snatch them from her. We’ve had a few altercations… As I predicted, Collin did have his first major injury injuries this past month and has the bruise bruises to show for it. He’s a tough cookie though and has yet to establish any sense of fear of anything! He is an expert crawler and cruiser and can even stand unassisted for a short time. He’s probably going to be walking soon…gasp! I’m in no hurry to meet that milestone. A month of skillful crawling and cruising has just about driven me to drink. I can only imagine the trouble he will get into when he starts walking. He really is such a joy though…he has the sweetest little personality and we just love him to the moon and back. He has a smile that will melt your heart…honest to goodness. What a joyful 8 months we have had!
