8 Months Already?

On Tuesday, Jordan turned 8 months.  I'm amazed at how he is growing and learning new things - it seems like every day he does something new! There are times I feel like it's all I can do to keep up - moments like this to sit and use the computer are rare. Why? oh you'll see :)

Jordan has discovered 'walking'.  I use 'walking' in this term to mean that he walks when you hold his hands.  Since he has learned this new method of getting around, it means that he refuses to sit down when you try to put him on the floor or in his highchair.   In addition to 'walking', Jordan is learning to pull himself up - first he's on the floor (army crawl), then he gets on his knees, rocks back and forth, and if he's holding onto something, gets up to a standing position.  The result - a very happy baby banging on the coffee table (or mommy's knees).  Jordan is also starting to walk (kind of) behind a push-toy.  He actually likes to bend over the bar to play with the push-toy and then rock back and forth.

Jordan had his first sleepover last weekend! David and I went away for our anniversary, leaving Jordan with his Gram & Grandpa.  He was practically perfect in every way.  After the weekend with the grandparents, Jordan and I left Monday morning to visit friends in Arizona.  We stayed with the Hobsons - their daughter, Kayla, is six months older than Jordan.  Kayla is walking on her own and Jordan wanted me to help him walk with her!
