8 Months!

Dantley is 8 months old!

Yesterday Dantley figured out he can pull himself up and stand in his bed.  He is standing al the time (as the little bruise on his head would attest. He got that from trying to use one of corners of the cabinets in the kitchen to pull himself up with).   He also is really good at becoming a wooden plank when I try to sit him down.  He refuses to bend and only wants to stand.  This leads to the car seat battle that seems to happen with all kids when they realize they can fight back and make it a struggle every time it is time to buckle them in. 

 I can't believe how blond he is getting.  When I go back and look at pictures from his first few months his hair is dark brown.  This totally remind me of pictures of Jake when he was a baby.

 He gives the best cuddles when he feels like it.  So irresistible!

This reminds me... well of two things - 1. I need to fold some laundry, and 2. I am pretty sure Dantley's first word is going to be "kitty."  He makes a Kih kuh sound now when he sees Scotty and starts kicking his feet with excitement.

After the bruise incident, I decided that surrounding you with pillows might be helpful :)
