Tomorrow, the little man turns eight months and we are getting closer and closer to my return to work and his introduction to daycare. We are still struggling with naps and they still aren't happening in the crib. Sigh- I really don't know what else to try and fear that they are going to hate me at daycare. As a result of the napping dilemma, we get out and about a lot. In the last few weeks, we've been to the zoo, the Washington County fair and a myriad of park and swim trips.
It amazes me how such a young baby can physically stay awake. He seems determined not to miss a thing- except crawling. Zachary apparently sees no need for that. He still screams as if we are sticking bamboo shoots under his nails when he is put on all fours. He is capable of rocking and scooting but the wailing that occurs must make the neighbors think we are killing him. Instead, he is all about standing- he wants to be vertical all the time. Too bad he hasn't figured out how to get in that position by himself.

Sounds a lot like Ben. He has finally started to use his feet to help him push himself around. He loves to stand and even walk with one of us holding his hands. Hasn't figured out how to pull up yet, though. They'll figure it out eventually, right.?
maybe he'll just skip crawling and go straight to walking. Ambitious little guy! Sorry to hear about the napping, that must be so frustrating. i know that drove me absolutely crazy when my kids didn't nap...day care may actually help. sometimes kids do things for other people that they won't do at home for their parents. Sounds like alot of fun visiting all those places though! Does he sleep in the car or stroller when moving?
I'm sorry about the return to work. :( I, myself, very much dread that already.
