The daring 8-month old

Isn't he the spitting image of his uncle? *(sorry, dad!)

And we have liftoff this week -- he's able to now use furniture to help him stand up supported.

Many bumps and bruises all week long.

But you wouldn't know from the look on his face 5 minutes after the deed.
His crawling style has refined somewhat -- quite like a soldier (according to babycenter.com) "bellying through the underbrush"
 .

This is an expression we wear frequently now.
