We are almost to 8 months! It is so hard to believe. Before we know it, May will be here and we will be celebrating his 1st birthday.
I am fairly certain he will be walking in the next month or two. He is standing up on his own all the time now. He walks holding on to one of us. Actually, it is funny, if Henry is holding something, he feels secure. I guess maybe he isn't connecting that the thing in his hand isn't attached to anything else.
He is moving more towards finger foods now too. He really isn't interested in eating a lot of pureed items anymore. He wants to feed himself! He is growing up so fast. He has now had bread, carrots, banana (his favorite) and string cheese (possibly a new favorite). This is along with the puffs and crunchies he has been eating for awhile now. He still likes to be fed his bottle. I don't mind, it is a chance for us to bond.
Better go, he is trying to get into, well, everything. :) Such a boy, through and through.

Mom knows best
And I don't mean me. I mean moms in general. Mothers think their way is best. A lot of mothers think every other way is wrong. I try so hard to remind myself that this is not true. I do not mean I tell myself my way is not the only way. I mean I try to block out all the things other mothers tell me I should be doing. Or I should not X because Y and Z will happen.
For the record, everything that someone has told us WILL happen because we did something the "wrong" way has gone differently than we were told. Yeah, we gave Henry a pacifier before 6-8 weeks. He gave it up by 10 weeks of age. Yeah, we let him sleep in his swing until he was 2 months old, but he had no problem transitioning out of it.
We waited to give him solids, he transitioned to them perfectly. The list goes on and on. It is okay to do things differently. It is okay. I think I tell myself this to reassure myself that I am okay, we're okay.
I just had to get this off my chest. I've been feeling a bit crushed by it, as if it was a weight sitting on my chest. Henry will grow up to be a normal, well adjusted little boy. He already is.
