Everyone keeps asking what we've been up to with Ari. Here's our Sunday evening event:
What a big boy; right?!? He is still refusing to crawl, but Parents as Teachers says as long as he's becoming mobile in some form or fashion, he's right on track developmentally for an 8 month old. So he's maybe a little ahead in the walking department and a little behind in the crawling department. He also wants to walk (hanging on to our fingers, of course) ALL THE TIME. So cute, but so hurts my lower back. I think he's going through a growth spurt too right now due to the looooong naps he's been taking. Normally he sleeps an hour max and yesterday it was 2.5 hours and now this morning it was 1.5 hours. Of course, this means he wakes up at 5:45 every morning, but he's for sure making up for it during the day!! Ari continues to be such a huge joy in our lives and every day we marvel time and time again at how blessed we are to have him as our son. We hope to post some more updated pics to the blog soon!

Haha, that is so cute! I love how his arms are really going the whole time:)
OOOHHH what determination!! How do the dogs like the walker =)
we have that same walker :) worked great for our kids. funny story, we were at target last week walking around and jason turned to me and said" i swear I just saw Ari" :) we thought of you guys :) our son Johnny LOVED to walk with our hands as well and it hurt my back. i took a long piece of fabric (a couple feet) or a bath towel) and draped it across his chest and under both his arms and used that to help him walk. gave me several more inches to work with :)
