8 Month Old Mess Maker

Eli turned 8 months old yesterday. The month of December was a busy learning month for him. At the end of November he was starting to sit up by himself. By mid December he was starting to properly crawl (His previous way was belly flop style). And before Christmas he started to pull himself up on furniture. Now he is making a lot of messes around the house, and too young to pick up after himself yet. The past couple of days he is standing more upright and starting to let go of things. It won't be long before he is walking. He is extremely proud of himself, as he has been with all of his new accomplishments. He loves going into his sister's bright pink bedroom and pulling down the magnets and blocks. With all of Eli's new activity his cute rolls are starting to diminish. He has been holding steady at 24 lbs for the past month and half.

Eli, You are really starting to do a lot of independent things. I do not remember when your brother Isaac started to walk, but I know it was before he was a year old. It sounds like you are going to be walking before you are a year old too.

All that activity is good for you and you are looking like you are loosing your rolls.

Michelle,
What a cute video (and how familiar that looks!) I read your post about sickness, and thought I'd let you know about garlic & mulluen oil (aka ear oil) which soothes and kills bacteria. We did the sickness runaround for many months in the beginning of 2007, so I can empathize!
Hope you feel better soon,
Meagan
