Tristan is now eight months old. Â Highlights:Â
* Can sorta kinda pull himself up (he was able to basically climb on the piano-keyboard, and on us, etc.)
* Has finally managed to chain together a series of “crawling” steps enough to make it across a short distance to get toys. Â (He doesn’t really crawl, crawl. Â He… sort of does the Worm and flops, but he has now twice done so in a repeated fashion to get to a toy.)
* Can sorta eat. Â Started eating semi-solid solids. Â Peach yogurt ball things, and weird melty puff things. Â I would estimate that for every piece of food that makes it down his throat, about eight wind up on the floor. Â Samurai doesn’t mind, however.Â
* Still pretty much goes to bed around 11, and gets up around 9.Â
* Has acquired the ability to powernap for 5 minutes in lieu of taking a proper nap sometimes (especially if he falls asleep in the car – it screws up his normal nap routine).Â
* Has, really for the first time, gotten upset at being around strangers.
* Has managed to make it through a 4 hour and a 6.5 outing to the design studio, to help us select stuff for the townhouse we’re buying. Â He wasn’t exactly happy about it, but he made it.Â
* Still has four teeth (vampire fangs on top + front teeth on bottom)
* Hit ~20 lbs. somewhere in there, as well.
