8 Months Old/ Valentines Day

Valentines Day just happened to be Briley's 8 month birthday this year. We decided to take a little trip to Abilene with Brian's parents to see Grandpa and Grandma Perkins. It was a great day to just relax and hang out with them.

It was pretty late when we left so we stopped at a cute little Mexican resteraunt in Ballinger on our way home. We enjoyed our Valentine's meal with Grammy and Grandpa. It was perfect because I didn't have to get ready for a nice meal.

If you look close you can see Briley's 2 teeth. There has been times when you can tell they are bothering him but he is such a trooper and hasn't really cried over them. I hope he can keep it up for all the other teeth.

It is hard to believe 8 months have gone by. They have been absolutely wonderful and Briley is doing more than I could have ever imagined by this time. We have had to deal with 2 ear infections but they weren't too bad, and a never ending runny nose. I am constantly changing his sheets because there is snot smeared all over them almost every morning. He has retired the army crawl and now he only crawls on his hands and knees EVERYWHERE. If Brian or I turns our head for a second he is after some cord or in the other room. He has also perfected his pulling up skill. He can pull up on his toys, couch, and the entertainment center. He also stands on his head with his legs straight (like a bear crawl) and will try to stand, but just falls on his bottom. His teachers agree with us that he will be walking in the next month. I have uploaded two videos, one with him crawling and the other of him talking. He has somehow forgotten how to say mama and just says dada to everything. It makes me a little sad but I am sure he will say it again soon. I am already starting to plan Briley's 1st birthday becuase I know the next 4 months are going to fly by.
