I can stand here, or there or anywhere!

It has amazed me that within a week of the first time he crawled, Eddie is already pulling himself up onto things. So what does this mean...lots of falling and even more crying. But he has to start somewhere. Everyday he gets better balance.

He stands at his table...

On the laundry basket...

On the diaper box...which he has toppled over numerous times...

And finally on the walker. He can do it on his own but with close supervision.

Eddie is Crawling

On Thursday night Eddie crawled for the first time.His motivation was to get to Dan. He crawled 3 or 4 times on the bed to get to him. Dan was so excited. He still hasn't quite figured out that he can get anywhere. It takes major motivation for him to crawl. He did it several times last night while we were at our friends the Robison's house. He refused to let the other baby have a binky and kept crawling to her to take it from her.

His other new trick he has learned is opening up the drawers in the kitchen from his walker. There are lots of fun new things inside of them. 

My parents and little brother John came down to visit this weekend so we were finally able to tell them the news.The first morning they were down we met for breakfast and I had Eddie in this onesie that I got off Etsy.

My mom was the first to notice it said big brother. They are so excited. We had a wonderful rest of the weekend just enjoying spending time together. Eddie loved spending every minute he could with Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle John.

The First Doctors Appointment

We had our first doctors appointment today with baby number 2. Holy cow, I am having another baby! I think it officially set in today when I got to see the ultrasound and hear the heartbeat. It was a big relief to finally have it confirmed that everything is ok. I figured it was with how sick I have been but it's always nice to hear it.

We are going to the same clinic with the same doc we had for Eddie. As I finished registering the nurse who we had all through the last pregnancy came running out yelling "It is really you! Long time no see!" Which is true. Its been almost exactly 8 months to the day that I had Eddie. What can I say, we don't mess around. Even Doctor Davis was surprised but excited to see us so soon. Part of me can't believe I am doing this again at all, much less so soon. Especially since it seems to have been confirmed that my body just does not like to be pregnant.

It was a fun appointment that Dan and Eddie got to be apart of. So crazy to think that Eddie will be a big brother at 15 months. If it is any indication, by how sick I am, I would say I am having a boy again. But if I go by a dream that I have had several times, I would say its a girl. I guess time will tell.

Now for the specifics...The doc figures I am due September 20, 2012, which would put me at 8 weeks as of tomorrow.

Eddie is 8 Months Old

Eddie will be 8 months old tomorrow. It is so amazing what changes can occur in a month. He is sleeping through the night more often than not. He can hold his own bottle. He is soooo close to crawling.

He officially has enough hair to have an Alf Alfa thing going on in the mornings.

And he has a new favorite food that he can feed himself...Graham Crackers. 

And the boy will eat a pack a day if I let him.

He is so much fun to be around. He is aware of so much and you can tell he is just taking the world in. He loves to people watch. He actually does really well in public now because he is content to just watch everyone and everything. I just love my little man!
