Nate's Birthdate + 8

Nate is 8 months old today.    Here are some notes:

• He crawls.   It's not mastered, but he can get where he wants effortlessly. 
• No obstacle fazes him.   We only have one step accessible to him in the whole house, but the first time he ran into it, he went over it without blinking.
• The little guy can stand.   It's wobbily and he's fearless enough to make it scary to watch, but he does love it.
• He is starting to recognize that he can crawl to find a person in another room.   
• Smile and laughs are common.   It's easy to make him laugh, even at his fussiest state.  
• So long early bed time.   It used to be 8PM on the dot, but those days are long gone.   It's trending later and later. 
• The light on the front of the computer fascinates him.   You can cover it, hide it, tape things over it, but it's still the first place he heads when his knees hit the floor.
