It's hard to believe that Karsten is already 8 months old. Where on earth did that time go? I can't believe it - we're excited for him to get to each new milestone, yet we want time to slow down so he doesn't grow up too quickly!
A few things Karsten is doing at 8 months:
*Jabbering more and using consonants alot. We hear "dada" a lot but we don't know if he realizes that dada means Dad.
*Crawling! :)
*Moving around the floor to get to the toys he wants, crawling or otherwise.
*Crying or getting upset when we walk out of the room.
*Getting impatient for dinner when he's waiting in his highchair.
*Grinding his teeth occasionally but also chomping them together like he's chewing something.
*Getting the hang of eating Puffs (baby cereal)
*Giggling when you tickle his tummy
*Feeling everything. He likes to come to the edge of his quilt when playing on the floor and feel the carpet. In his crib the other night he kept rubbing his hand across a wrinkle in his sheet to feel it.
*Watching Madison doing anything and everything. He's fascinated with her and she's being very patient with him - his quick little hands have grabbed her beard a few times!
*Enjoying different foods - we're working our way through fruits now.
*Leaning against furniture while standing up. Not pulling up yet but can stand there if we put him against furniture.
*Arching his back and moving his arms to get out of his car seat.
