Adam Crawls!

Today, Adam figured out how to crawl!  Up to this point for the past month or so he has sat and rocked himself into a crawling position, but would only go one knee or two forward and then would stop and sit back up as if he was hesitating.  Today, he finally figured it out!  I was in the living room with him and I turned around for a second only to turn back around and see him 6-7 feet from where he had been sitting before.  I wasn't quite sure how he got over there until he got up and started crawling again!  I was amazed!!!  Take a look!!

Adam stood up in his crib at 8 months

Last night, Adam stood up in his crib for the first time.  Derek and I were laying in bed watching TV and we heard Adam start to stir on his monitor.  We were watching the video monitor to make sure he was doing okay, thinking that he might just go back to sleep on his own (which he usually does).  We were checking every 30 seconds or so.  When Derek picked it up to look at it, he immediately panicked when he realized that Adam was no longer in the screen for us to see.  He went rushing into Adam's room and found him standing up in his crib reaching for Derek to pick him up!  He gave Derek quite the scare, but was completely fine!  I think this will be a new change and hopefully we will be getting a smiley happy boy when we go in to get him now that he can stand and look around!

Adam rolls, sits, and stands - 8 months old

Today Adam figured out how to consistently roll from his back to his tummy then push himself backwards to a sitting position.  He has learned that from that point he can stand on the table by himself.  Quickly starting to become more adventurous and independent!!
