8 Month Update

So I'm a little late getting this post up. It's almost time for the nine month post but better late than never. We've had a lot going on lately and S-O-M-E-O-N-E is into everything and you have to keep your eyes on him at all times.

• Jaxon has gotten four teeth this month. He got his top two bottom teeth and his top right tooth and the one right beside it to the right. I thought babies always got their middle teeth first but his have been a mystery to us on how they're going to come in.
• He started sitting up with the support of his arm. Then, a couple of days later he was sitting up completely without his arm for support.
• He started squealing loudly just to be heard if you're not paying attention to him.
• He woke us up in the middle of the night one night struggling to breathe and after a call to the doctor at 2:00 AM and finally getting him comfortable we determined the next day he had croup. Let me tell you that is one scary thing to have to go through in the middle of the night.
• He also had his first double ear infection.
• He started crawling and you know what that means. You can't keep him in a stationary contraption like a walker. He thinks he has to be on the move at all times.
• He started pulling up on EVERYTHING.
• He's eating more table food and less baby food which makes it so much easier.
