8 months!!



Wow! Gideon is now 8 months old! I can't believe it...he is just growing up so fast right before our eyes. This past month was especially eventful for Gideon too. Gideon went on his first road trip to Southern California and also his first plane ride to New York! What a little traveler we've got! Despite all the inconsistencies associated with traveling, our little guy never stopped learning and laughing. Our little boy now:

**weighs 21 pounds, 3 ounces**
**says "Oooh!" and "Ohh!"**
**sits very well on his own**
**crawls a little on all fours (started the day he turned 8 months!)**
**recognizes himself in the mirror**
**loving solids: bites into bananas, eats peas and carrots**
**holds his own bottles for brief moments**

Now that Gideon is slowly crawling around on his own, it looks like we'll need to baby-proof our place. Yikes! We'll see how that turns out!

Here are pictures of Gideon from our Picasa site:
