Practicing Walking

Ardan has been practicing walking in his walker.  He has been good at going backwards, but today he took quite a few steps forwards and is learning how to maneuver around! Check out the video.

Hands On Children's Museum

Olympia's Hands On Children's Museum just opened and Ardan and I went to check it out.  It is a fun place to explore and once Ardan can walk I am sure he will have even more fun.

8 Months Old!

Ardan is 8 months old today!  he is 18 lbs 3 oz.  And 28.5 inches tall.  He has slimmed out a little bit from all of the exercise crawling and learning to walk brings.

 It is getting more and more challenging to get a picture or measurement of Ardan on his monthly birthdays since he is such a mover and shaker.

Late Post & New Videos

I forgot to post this pic last week. I found Ardan asleep like this after a short car ride.




***I added a video of Ardan closing a door behind me on the "Closing Door" Post from last week, check it out here too.

New Food

Ardan liked his pear, apricot, apple cider mix today.  It seems anything with pear is a winner.

More Teeth!!

Ardan's top two teeth have finally broken through!  It seems like he has been cutting these teeth for a month!  Phew.  Four teeth total.
