8 months!

Aiden turned 8 months and grew so much in just two weeks!  He now claps his hands (loves patty-cake!), pushes himself to a sitting position from crawling, and pulls himself to standing.  I often find him holding onto the bars of his crib after a nap. He looks so much bigger to me since even his 7th month!

And Oliver, a most helpful big brother, will regularly get the stool and climb up to get Aiden's toys for him when he is upset.  He gets the basket and dumps the toys so Aiden will not be sad.  Oliver even looks for Aiden to make sure he is around when he hasn't seen him in a while (after nap time).  And a regular ritual is hugging his brother good night.  Such a tender heart!
