8 Months Old

Joshua is 8 months old today and celebrated by getting weighed again. The little man (or not so little now) has put on another whopping 13 oz and now weighs 18lb 10oz!!! He is now eating really well (even at breakfast) after having a bad month not so long ago with his teething.

The little guy seems to get very restless if he is laying or sitting around these days and wants to be on his feet all the time. He climbs all over you and shuffles around hardly staying still at all. With just the lightest support in each hand he is more than happy to go trotting off around the house or garden. So it looks like everyone was right on the blog poll - he will probably we walking before crawling!

To aid in his development of walking - the latest purchase is the push along walker shown below. This is really cool as you can lock the wheels so that they have a resistance to stop Joshua building up too much momentum and splatting his nose into the floor. Also the walker plays a tune when in motion and stops when he stops, thus encouraging the baby to walk further.



Also at the weekend Joshua had some of his friends (Millie and Joaben) over for a play. As you can see the 3 of them got on very well and seemed to have loads of fun playing with all Joshua's toys. Joaben is 16 months old and Millie is nearly 4 years old.
