4 Big Moments to Share for his big 8th Month

In the last week we have had some pretty memorable moments.

The first one is not a good one. Sam got the Croup for the first time! He work up sounding like a seal and having a harder time breathing. I called a friend who immediately knew from the sound of him that he had the croup! I took him in to the doctor that day and was proscribed baby steroids to help him breath that we had to give him 2 times a day. Of course, Sam was SO good and never really complained. He is such an amazing baby! He started to feel better right away - so we were very thankful!

We also have been trying to get him on a nap/sleeping schedule that has been going very well. He has slept through the night for the last week! And has been on a great nap schedule too! Pat was the one to get this rolling and I am so thankful! It is great for all of us! :)

Then, Sammy ate Chicken for the first time! His first non-veggie or fruit meal!!! I made some baby food from bakes chicken, sweet potatoes and chicken broth. At first he was not so sure about it, but about a week and several times after it he was a fan. I cannot believe he is growing up so fast!

Speaking of growing up, Sam pulled himself up for the FIRST time today! He had his little activity table that he was sitting by, he reached up and just up he went! My little baby just keeps on growing up....I am so proud to be his mommy!
