8 months old

Well, Benji is 8 months old now (as of yesterday). It has been a month of changes for him. He started moving around by rolling and then started fully crawling on Saturday the 8th. Wow, can he get around now (and get into EVERYTHING). He started pulling himself to a stand on the 13th on anything he can get his hands on. He is starting to communicate with us using signs. He has told me he wants to eat and use the potty several times now. He is also eating solids very well and prefers to feed himself, even when the food is fed by spoon. EC is going very well. We had one day where Ben's diaper was dry for nearly the whole day (a bit of wetting when waking from his nap). He definitely looks forward to pottytunities and was upset this weekend when we traveled without the potty and he needed to go.

So, our little guy is now mobile. We are loving Gymboree (which is all about exploring and climbing and learning to move). Jeff and I are doing well. Ben keeps me on my toes and we are finishing up the crawling level of babyproofing. Jeff's work is going well too.
