Eight Months Old and Standing Tall

Dearest Andrew,
This week we went with Mimi to Mimi and Pop's cabin for a few days and we had so much fun! It is a beautiful place! They are getting it ready so that when you are a little older, you and your cousins can have many wonderful adventures there! During our stay we celebrated your first Valentine's Day and you turned EIGHT months old! Seriously! How can you be so old already? Sigh...

Anyway, standing on your own is something you have done a time or two, but while we were at the cabin, you decided you really liked to stand and you stood up on anything you could hold on to. Because of this (and because your mom is a "Nervous Nelly") we let you play in your Pack and Play a bit more. That didn't matter, you stood in that too! Mom will have to lighten up (it's SO hard) and realize you are fine. Standing is a vital part of the whole learning to walk process. You look really cute though and it makes you super duper excited!

Well, another milestone has come and gone. Another month older as well. It's hard to believe in four very short months we will be celebrating your first birthday. People told me kids grow up fast, and boy they weren't kidding! I am so extremely blessed to be able to spend as much time with the most precious person I have ever known! I love every second with you baby boy!

Love,
Mommy
