8 Months Old - Trouble With a Capital J.


John is growing so fast we can hardly believe it.  In the three weeks since our last post John has gone from almost crawling to fully mobile (as of 4.27.12).  He is trouble.  In our last post we mentioned having to remove the crib bumper because Mr. Curious was trying to look out; we have since lowered the crib mattress TWICE because he now knows how to pull himself up into the standing position and is one meltdown away from hurling himself out of the crib.  We don't know much about parenting, but we suspect that we are in for it.  We've added lunch to John's daily routine and he's trying his best to feed himself!  The park around the corner put the swings up this week and we've taken a trip there nearly every day since - John is a fool for swinging.  We had a blast in Boston a few weeks ago; John loved all the attention he was getting from his cousins!  We even got to witness how brave Cate has become - she and Cooper have finally become pals.

Some photos and videos from the weeks...
