Having a bath (which is what he loves the most) last night
And so my little bundle of joy is 8 months today! Size wise he is more like a one year old, haha.
Baby Bears emotions are definitely becoming more obvious. He has learnt how to clap his hands when we say “one two three”(in Swedish), and sometimes if he does something cute that makes us all go “awwww”, he may repeat his act if applauded which is really funny to watch.
He has also started to show a little signs of separation anxiety. At times he gets a little shy or anxious around strangers, especially when tired or irritable, and when you're out of sight and not with him, he might become upset.
Even though he is not yet crawling properly, he still manages to get around, grabbing everything within reach. He leans forward to reach things, he can transfer objects from one hand to the other, and he likes to ‘bang bang bang’ a table or surface with a toy, spoon or anything for that matter.

Also, if we put him standing up next to the sofa or in his cot , he is able to hold himself up, hanging on for dear life and using the furniture for support.
Now, this newfound mobility means that Baby Bear is now entering the land of bumps and falls. These are an inevitable part of childhood, I know, and although my heart may occasionally skip a beat or two, I am trying to not get too upset and instead trying to enjoy watching him explore his surroundings and discover his limits.
Next move for me and Bear is now to buy safety items such as socket covers, door stops, door locks, corner cushions etc, to plan ahead for the next “bumpy” months.
