Sam at 8 Months

So we're a bit late...he's actually edging towards 9 months as I write this!

At 8 months Sam was 17 lbs, 8 oz and 26" long. Still much smaller than Amanda at the same age (I have her down as 19 lbs, 1 oz and 27.75" long at 8 months). But he's catching up, and he's definitely come a long way in the last couple of months.

The big news in month 8 was mobility! Sam was doing a lot of scootching, squirming, bouncing, and rolling by the time he hit 8 months, and shortly after the 8 month mark he figured out "regular" crawling (though even now he's not very quick at it).

A few random photos of Sam in his 8th month:

And of course you can look at any of the million photos of him from our Disneyland trip, or see the whole month 8 photoset on Flickr!
