8 months

Kolter turned 8 months old on Thanksgiving day!

This month Kolter's development surged! In the span of a month he went from sitting up and occassionally scooting to scooting super fast, pulling himself up on everything and eventually crawling exclusively.

He is on the prowl

At the beginning of his 7th month he was very unsteady on his feet, but by the end he now stands strongly and is even starting to cruise. He is following in Sawyer's footsteps…once they start moving independently they never stop :)

He experienced his first airplane rides. While he was wiggly he did very well on the airplanes.

He is a Momma's boy. If I am in the room and not holding him he will cling to my leg. But if he wants a laugh he goes to Daddy.

He adores playing Patty-Cake and Peek-a-Boo

just keeping it real

His sleeping has improved (with one caveat)! During the month we did some sleep training and he responded quickly cutting his wake-ups to once a night and even a week of sleeping through the night. Then we went to CO for Thanksgiving and all of our work went down the drain.

Kolter is a great eater. He has liked everything we have given him. He is starting to eat a few finger foods including banana, pineapple and oranges.
