8 months old

Here are Colby's 8 month pics.  As you can tell, he's already become quite a little poser for the camera.

 if you look closely below, you can almost see his first two teeth

As almost another month has gone by since these were taken, Colby is doing well.  He has had a couple ear infections, but we have been able to treat those with drops.  He doesn't like them much, but it's not affecting his sleep.  We did decide to let him cry it out while sleeping.  The first day was yesterday.  He cried for two hours in the afternoon before he gave it up and took a 3 hour nap.  Last night, he was asleep within minutes.  He woke up, though, (which is why we decided to let him cry - because he would be asleep and wake up in the night and not want to go back to sleep.  This became a habit when he was having trouble with his ears).  He then cried for about 30 to 45 minutes before he fell asleep. Becky got to fall asleep on the futon downstairs while he was crying.  She thought that was pretty cool.  Hopefully it will only take a couple more nights and he will have falling asleep on his own figured out.  He did take a nap after day care tonight and only fussed for three or four minutes before falling asleep.  Othewise, he is doing well.  He is a very happy little boy, and we enjoy watching him grow.  Big sister just adores him and can't wait until he gets just a little bigger so he can play toys with her.
