Wow, Allex is now 8 months old (34 weeks). He is becoming such a little boy instead of a baby. He loves crawling and exploring everything. As soon as he was able to crawl, he was up on his knees. And now, he can hold himself upright while holding on to something. Yesterday, he even let go while standing. He fell forward after a second, but he had the confidence to try.

It won't be long before he is walking. I predict he will in one month. He has spent everyday preparing for this. Since birth, he's been trying to sit up and see what's around him. He never liked lying down, immobile. And the higher he is the better. He's going to be a climber, just like his Daddy. When he wakes up in his crib, he stands up, holding on to the bars. The other day I played peek-a-boo around the bars with him. He laughed harder than he ever has. It was adorable. It was full belly laugh. He laughed so much he had to catch his breath. Fun times!
