Robert Tyler is 8 months old! This has been a very exciting month with lots of new milestones. Beau started crawling just a few days after he turned 7 months! He also started pulling himself up to his knees and then quickly progressed to pulling up to his feet. He loves standing at the ottoman and looking at his books. He also got 2 more teeth, the top front teeth. So know our tooth count is up to 4! In the middle of the month we transitioned from 3 naps down to 2 and Beau has been doing great with the transition. We have 2 longer naps of at least an hour each. He has also learned to turn the page of a book which he is very proud of and loves doing! But my favorite new milestone is when he started giving Mommy sweet little baby kisses. It just melts my heart when he snuggles into my face and gives me a big, wet kiss. We also had Robert's Baptism this month, a trip to NC to see family, and his first Easter! What a special month with great memories!

| Beau has discovered that he can make funny faces. He's a big fan of the "scrunchy" face! |
Beau loves Murphy! He thinks he's so funny and Murphy can always get a good belly laugh out of him. So much of my day consists of chasing Beau chasing Murphy all around the house. : )

| Pulling up to his knees! Big boy! |
My parents, Beau and me took a trip to my Aunt Joan and Uncle Joe's house in Pinehurst, NC. We had a great visit and it was so nice for Beau to meet more of his family!

First time at the playground! He wasn't sure what to make of the swing or the slide but he loved watching all of the bigger kids run around and play. We will definitely be making more trips to the playground this summer!
