Little Stander

Winston has been free-standing for a few days but we are amazed how quickly he is getting the hang of it and trying to do it! Today he stood for almost 30 seconds!

Yay!

Winston had a big day yesterday. He got his second tooth (finally after weeks of crying and drooling!) and learned how to clap. He loves his new trick and has been clapping endlessly since he started!

"Rest" Time

I was planning to post this video today and say how much we are losing our minds with Elliott being in a destroying phase (it is a phase, right?) of having to touch (read: break) everything in sight. This is what happened during Elliott's "rest" time yesterday. But with the news of the morning, I'll just say that he can disassemble as many beds as he'd like!!

Little Cruiser

Winston is officially cruising (see below) and has been free-standing for a few seconds at a time!  Here we go!

Back to the beach

Last week I had a photo shoot at the beach and the boys decided to tag along just for something to get them out of the house.  Gotta admit, it felt good to be back to shooting with sand between my toes.  It was cold and we didn't stay long, but Elliott loved running around.  And by running around, I mean, mostly barrel rolling fully-clothed through the sand.

Isn't he looking so old!?!

Teething

Shirt

Learning to put on a shirt ... it's the small things!

Winston: 8 months

Winston is 8 months!  We are settling into our new house in LA (which we looove!) and they boys have done great with the transition.  After some work and sleep training, Winston is finally getting close to sleeping through the night.  He is doing great with his allergen-free diet and is so much healthier and happier without eggs and milk in his system!  Hooray!  He also got his first tooth a few days ago with a second one coming any minute.  He is still crawling and pulling up everywhere.  He can also transfer between objects and take a few steps when he is pushing a moving object.  We are calling his hair "strawberry blonde" but I have been stopped several times for people to ask me about his red hair, and have had a few comments like "Look at that little red-head!" and "Hey, ginger!" (are people even allowed to say that anymore? I wasn't sure if I should be offended).  It still changes in the light but is some sort of blonde/red mix!
