Trent weighs about 19 pounds at 8 months.  Trent 's new tricks this month include pulling himself onto his knees, standing at every chance he gets, and climbing on everything (even though he can't really climb that well.) On his 8 month birthday he started scooting around, not really crawling, but moving!  His favorite toys are his purple octopus and playing with the cord to the ceiling fan and Mimi and Papa's.  This month was packed with fun fall activities and then we celebrated Trent 's first Halloween.
