8 months!

My dearest Cillian,

You are now 8 months old! I cannot believe that we are only four short months away from your first birthday. As always, time is flying way too fast.

This month we have seen a lot of Cillian "firsts". You started crawling for the first time, you slept in your nursery without mommy and daddy for the first time (we waited for you to miss us. You didn't).

You shocked me last week by pulling yourself up to standing. I saw the wheels turning as you brought your little knees in and under you, and then your wee little toes curled under your ankles and rested flat on the floor as you held on to your bouncy chair. You surprised yourself when you accidentally straightened your legs to standing, but a quick look to mommy reassured you that you would be safe.

After some troubles, you learned how to nap well this month too, and take two naps a day that last at least an hour and a half. Night time sleep has become bad again, but I think your new, evil top tooth is the culprit. We are hopeful you'll go back to longer sleeps at night soon.

Your likes: you love your blocks. They can be stacked, banged together and dragged with you on an adventure. Your favourite teether is by far the little caterpillar we have dubbed "Nubs" and you kick your legs excited whenever we help retrieve him from wherever you have left him. Sophie the giraffe is still your number one girl.

Your dislikes: having your nose/face wiped. You act like we are trying to suffocate you. You don't like being confined, unless it's in your highchair and there is food on its way.

Happy 8 months little man!!!
