8 Months Old

I can hardly believe that Ledger is finally 8 months old.  Typically I post his 8 month pictures and update ON his actual birth-anniversary, but I thought him finally learning to crawl deserved a post all by itself.

This month, Ledger...

• ...weighs 18.9 pounds... just barely under 19!
• ...has learned to clap, hammer, sit up from laying down, pull himself up to a standing position, and, CRAWL! :)
• ...has started vocalizing more and using consonant sounds such as "ba" and "ma"
• ...got sick for the first time (pink eye and a little cold)
• ...attended his first dance party (Oma and Papa Hensley's 20th Anniversary Bash) and celebrated his first Christmas and New Year
  
• ...is wearing 9 month clothing and anything that says 6-9 months is pretty much too small
• ...is eating more and more foods on his own, but still refuses to take food from a spoon!
• ...still is not sleeping through the night (*sigh*) but we are currently working on a few theories to remedy this problem

Thank you to our family and friends who continue to check our blog and comment regularly.  We hope you are continuing to enjoy watching Ledger's progress!
