Conner: Growing Up Too Fast

As you can see from these photos, our little guy is growing up way too quickly. He is eight months old now and starting to get into trouble. He loves to climb the stairs all the way to the top. We keep saying we should put the safety gate up, but it hasn't happened yet. In the meantime, Conner has mastered going up the stairs, but he knows better than to try and go down them. He pulls himself to standing whenever and wherever he gets the chance: in his crib, by the couch, in the fridge, by the girls' bunkbed, by the bathtub. For a while, he would pull himself up and not know how to get down. He would cry until someone helped him sit down, but now he's learning how to bend his knees ans sit down. Of course, he puts everything he finds in his mouth. He has 7 teeth now and eats just about everything! He loves Ritz crackers, bananas, and even green beans. He also still loves to nurse. I am trying to cherish eat moment with him especially since he is our last baby. We are so blessed to have our little Bubba Lou (that's his nickname).
