I am 8 months old today

Hello everyone,

I am 8 months old today, I have learnt so much just recently and I can do so much more than when I arrived in Canada. I have learn how to say 'Dad' to Dad, which makes him very happy. I can crawl in three different styles (comando, traditional and a funky variation with one leg raised at 45). Comando is the fastest indoors, but my own funky style gets me across a playground pretty fast too. I love standing and running. I am just beginning to stand holding on to only one of mum's hands and I can stand up by pulling my self up on almost anything. I still have three naps a day and love sleeping face down and kind of sitting on my knees with my sweet baby butt in the air.

The pram is my favourite standing toy at the moment cause it moves and is a little like walking, just without Mum. I love the park where I chase the noisiest kids. Because I cant run without Mum yet my running style is a little unusual, my legs move faster than my body so I kinda bend.

I love the Children's place I go to with Mum to sing songs a play. My new mate Reese, who is 12 months old, has taught me how to climb up the baby gym stairs, crawl over the top and slide down the over side. Mum taught me how to crawl through the baby gym tunnel. I meet lots of other babies in there. Two different baby girls have given me kisses in the park and I have kissed my new mate Fergus on the forehead. I actually gave him a raspberry, but those toddler girls kissed me on the lips. Yuk!!
