It seems like I just wrote about Ryan at 7 months and here
we are at 8! Although, I was a few weeks late in getting his 7-month post out
there. In the past couple of weeks he has learned a few new skills and is
working on his second tooth! He has done a pretty good job with the teething,
he has been a little bit fussier than usual and had one night where he had a
hard time getting to sleep but we are counting our blessings that so far he has
gotten through teething relatively easily.
On the move! In the past week or so he has perfected rolling
over! It is becoming increasingly more difficult to change his diaper. As the
only time he wants to be on his belly is right after I take his diaper off! And
he is learning how to move around the room by rolling to where he wants to be.
He seems eager to crawl and is trying to get into position when he is sitting
but so far all he has done is face-plant into the ground.
Wanting to Crawl!!
In the past couple of weeks Ryan has also be sleeping better
than ever! Praise the Lord! He is sleeping from about 6:30/7:00 to about
9/10:00, and then sleeping 7-8 hour stretches, until about 5:30-6:00. I then
feed him and do a diaper change and he is back to sleep until 7:30/8. I still
can’t believe it when I wake up and look at the clock, previously he was waking
up 3-4 times a night.
Here are some more pictures from the last couple of weeks!

I left him on top of the quilt for a min and came back to this! He was pretty proud of himself ! |
That’s about all in the past few weeks. He changes so fast
and is constantly learning and amazing us in so many ways. We are grateful the
Lord has blessed us with such a wonderful child.
