Teeth and standing tall!

Check out those teeth! They are just starting to break through the gums!
Just looking cute

He can now pull himself up on the couch. It really does seem like he is learning to do all these new things all at once. He just started pulling himself up to stand by grabbing up to our hands last week and now he can pull himself up to stand by himself. He has yet to figure out how to crawl properly but he can army crawl all over. He has also discovered how to crawl up steps! We have 2 steps that go up from the den to the kitchen and today he made it up them!

He's still confused about this crawling thing. Doesn't his face show it all?

Yawn... can you see the little teeth?

Isn't he a cutie?

Hoping for 4 more months!

Everyone says Ashton will walk early... I'm hoping for another 4 months before we reach that developmental milestone. He is so stubborn and adamant - he may very well walk soon. He is already pulling himself up on our hands to stand up and definitely prefers to be upright and every now and then will let go and be able to stand for a couple of seconds before toppling over. He's only 8 months old! I'm shouting at him... you have the rest of your life to walk! Let's just stay immobile for 4 more months!

Walking with assistance

Trying on Grandpa Domi's shoes. I think they're still a little big

Check out the shoes... aren't they cute!

Ashton's new favorite activity is walking (with assistance of course). He definitely prefers to be upright than crawling everywhere. He still isn't properly crawling but he is starting to use both legs during his army crawl.
