8 months old!

We celebrated Thanksgiving this month, with Jason’s family at Anne’s house. We learned the gender of Dane and Stephanie’s baby – it’s a boy!

Paxton’s Eighth Month Milestones and Noteables:

• Much more mobile this month, and getting a lot of boo-boos.
• His first real boo-boo was when he flipped a blue plastic basket on his face, and cut his nose. (You can see the scab in the Afternoon in the Country photos).
• Fussy if not crawling or standing.
• Pulls himself up on the ottoman, coffee table and bathtub.
• Bumps his head a lot. A LOT.
• November 10: Jason went to Chicago for the weekend, so Grammi stayed with us. Paxton pulled himself up for the first time!
• November 17: standing up in his crib!
• Pulls Harper’s hair (sorry kiddo).
• Loves to play with the door-stop springy thingie.
• Responds to his name (which was actually happening at 7 months).
• Cruising! (as of December 1).
• Lately, has been too excited to finish his morning bottle.
