8 months

I realize that my child is now 9 months old and I'm just now posting an 8 month picture. However, I had to at least put it on here...better late than never. Walker's 8th month was a wild one! Not only did we have his first snow AND his first Christmas, but we also got tubes put in his ears. The procedure was on December 22. He did great!! It was definitely more nervewracking for mommy and daddy than it was for him. Once Dr. Jones drained his ears he told us that it was a good thing that we had done the procedure since he had fluid on one of his ears that was as thick as molasses! We could tell by that afternoon that he could hear better and he acts like he feels so much better now. Plus we're not constantly worried about ear infections anymore. He has allergies so the drainage was a constant worry for us. He goes back for his follow-up appointment on Tuesday so hopefully all will be well with his ears. Another big development at 8 months was the army crawl! He looked so cute scooting across the floor on his elbows and toes. :) Also, you'll see in the picture that he's in his p.j.'s...that's pretty much how we spent all Christmas break, and it was fabulous!
