8 months old

My precious little angel turned 8 months old yesterday and is really becoming a cute little "person" now.  He knows what he wants, shows that he wants it and insists on it too; he is getting heavier in my arms; he is growing his first little tooth and he is leopard crawling to get to where he wants to go. 

Sleep is still okay, some good nights and others not so great.  Last night was an average night where he woke up at 2am for a feed and then 5:20am again, however, he didn't want to go back to sleep so that's when our day started *insert yawning face here*!  The night before last was horrendous with almost hourly wake up calls - extremely exhausting!  I can only put it down to teething... I suppose I will never know the reason for the consistently interrupted night's sleep.

Zac is on the move and is never in the same spot I leave him on.  He is so eager to crawl, but for now all he is managing is the famous leopard crawl his sister mastered for quite some time.  I know he is keen to pull himself up but unfortunately we don't have any pieces of furniture low enough for him to accomplish this goal.  We have in fact just lowered his cot to the next lower level as when seated, he was pulling himself up against the side of the cot; a very easy position to actually go over and fall out of the thing!  So prevention was key and we quickly altered the setting.

Zac continues to fill our lives with so much joy.  Still such a smiley, happy, giggly little chap who is easy going and just generally happy.  I don't think it is possible to love him more! xxx
