8 Months 5.12.11

An early AM 8 mo birthday photo
Wow, 8 months...really.  I catch myself telling people Tillman is 6 months old.  Time is flying by, and I think that 8 months sounds so old for my sweet little boy!
Tillman isn't crawling yet.  He's getting there though!  His legs are super strong, and he wants to go.  He just can't seem to get that tummy up.  I've tried to put the wipes box under his tummy while on the floor to show him how to get in the crawl position, but he gets very frustrated with that approach.  One thing is for sure, he is going to do it when HE is ready!

He is certainly learning how to get around.  When he is sitting or laying down, he love for someone to hold out their hands so he can grab on and pull up to a standing position.  Standing is when is is at his happiest.  I think he has enjoyed being on his feet since he could hold his head up.  Even when we just pull him up to a seated position, he tries to get us to let him hang on to our fingers long enough for him to get to the standing position.

Tillman also made another trip to the doctor this week.  He's been coughing his head off and has had a runny nose! Yuck...we had to wait in the SICK waiting area.  I could just feel the germs crawling on us!  Tillman was "diagnosed" with allergies.  He was put on the liquid form of Zyrtec. We hope this improves his symptoms.

He is so sweet. And don't you just love the lamb infant chair? It was one of my favorite things and one of my puppy's favorite things too. If the baby wasn't in it...the dog was! haha

Thanks for your sweet comment. I do LOVE the lamb swing. We could not have lived without it. It is by far our favorite item. We even travel with it.
Also Thanks for adding Mrs. Pregnant in the Lowcountry to your blog roll!
