8.5 months

Tristan is 8.5 months old. hes got the army crawl down pat, and can get across a room before you realize he's gone. he gets up and rocks on his hands and knees. he's started pulling himself up into a stand too. he spent the whole church service on sunday pulling up on the back of the pew. he talks up a storm. hes been saying "mama" for a while, but he figured out "dada" a couple of weeks ago, and david is thrilled. hes been getting up with him sometimes on the weekend to let me sleep, and they have breakfast and do "man stuff" before mama gets up. his top 2 teeth have cut through this week, so hes up to 4 now. hes going through his first phase of seperation anxiety, and doesnt like anyone but mama or daddy to hold him right now
