8 months old and conquering the world!

Man, he just isn't content to stick with one thing. He has conquered crawling, so then he decided to take on the stairs. He can go up them but not down. Once he discovered that, he was on to standing up. He is great at pulling himself up on things which means I am in even more trouble. The kid didn't even give me a chance to get used to him being mobile. If he starts walking soon I am going to be in over my head!! Unfortunately he isn't very stable so he hits his head on everything when he falls over. Last night we put him in his crib and he didn't know how to let go so he started screaming until we laid him back down. We played that game for about an hour and then he ended up smacking his head really hard on the back of the crib when he let go of the side so we decided to break out the port-a-crib hoping there were less things for him to get his little hands on and maybe a little softer on his head. Luckily it worked. He doesn't know how to climb on it since there isn't really anywhere to grab with in his reach. So we'll see how long he ends up in the port-a-crib for.
