And we have a

TOOTH!

It's about time. Little Dude finally has a tooth. Barely visible, but definitely there.

He also has/had his first black eye and his first bloody lip. It's been a rough couple of days.

Yesterday morning he face planted into the hardwood floor. Thus the black eye. It's already faded a lot. Unless you KNEW it was there, you probably wouldn't notice. Happy 8 month birthday buddy!

Then today he face planted into the floor. See the theme here? Yeah, he dove into the floor and his pacifier cut his frenulum (the little thing that connects the gums to the top lip). It bled forever. He didn't appreciate me having to put pressure on it. Blood doesn't freak me out but when it just wouldn't stop bleeding I thought we might have to go get it checked out.

He thinks he can crawl. He gets on his hands and knees and rocks back and forth. Then he gets pissed that he's not getting anywhere. At that point he gets himself back to a seated position and then he cries. It's funny.
