8 months old

Braden and Pooh in his new rocking chair from Grandma and Grandpa

And another month has passed. It's amazing how quickly the time flies! Braden is now 8 months old and has gained so many skills just in the past week. He is now rolling proficiently which is exciting, but makes bedtime/naptime challenging as he will roll over and "play" with his binkie or his bear or just scoot around in his bed instead of sleep. He also is now sitting completely independently and can stand holding onto furniture for a short time. Braden is on the verge of crawling probably within the next week or 2. He gets up on hands and knees and rocks back and forth. Sometimes he'll lunge forward, but land on his face. He'll figure it out soon!

Also, he is beginning to cut a tooth on the bottom. You can kind of see it, but you can definitely feel the sharp edge with your finger. He's not bitten me yet (knock on wood). I know friends have said that once they do that, nursing becomes that much more challenging.
