The big 0-8

Yep Connor turned 8 months this week. He is crawling everywhere and getting into everything! He opens drawers from the bottom to the top; he has learned how to unscrew and take the knob off his drawer; he unrolled the toilet paper roll in the bathroom; he knows how to open the door to Daddy's office if it's not closed all the way. And what's scary is that he pulls up on everything and is a fast walker when Josh and I hold his hands. So I bet soon we'll hear pitter patter. Below are his monthly photos. (it's very difficult to get him to hold still these days!)

Sleep is still an issue. Most nights he sleeps through the night, but wakes every morning at 5:00 am and doesn't go back to sleep! He goes down for his first nap when many babies are just waking up for the day.

On a sad note, a girl in my Tri-Delt pledge class passed away yesterday of cancer. She was diagnosed just 4 short months ago while in the hospital giving birth to her son. She recently turned 30 and leaves behind a husband and 3 young sons. People from all over have been following her story these past few months and are very saddened to see her lose this battle. Please pray for her family and may her sons always know what a wonderful mother they had.
