On The Move!

MaMaw (Brandon's mom) usually stays with Grant one day a week. He loves getting all of the attention and spending the day with her each week. This week she stayed with him on Wednesday. When I got home, they both had some fun news to share. Grant had started crawling on his hands and knees during the day! So, we officially have a little crawler now! He still does the belly crawl if he is trying to get to something fast, but is getting more consistent with crawling on his hands and knees.

He also started pulling up this week and pulled up by himself on Saturday. He pulled up onto the recliner in his room and is trying to pull up in his crib.

We have been trying to teach Grant simple gestures like waving "bye-bye" and blowing a kiss. This week he started waving "bye-bye." He's definitely not doing it consistently and probably doesn't know what it means, but he does imitate our hand motion when we wave to him :)

He also says "mama" now. Definitely not as much as he says "dada" or "baba" and he seems to do it when he is crying or upset. He seriously babbles all of the time now and it is so fun to listen to him!

So, overall this has been a busy week for our little man. Turning 8 months old has brought lots of fun changes! I can't say enough how amazing it is to watch Grant learn and grow :)
