Mason's 8th month

We started giving Mason more table food (bananas, avocado, nectarines, lots of soft fruits). We enrolled him in swim lessons, and he is doing quite well. We have lots of playdates for socialization and mommy adult time. He is standing without holding on to things and saying more sounds like "da-da" and "growling" (lol). We started teaching him some sign language and he is becoming more and more independent (but he is still a "ma-ma's" boy, but I'm not complaining). He is prone to tons of bruises right in the middle of his forehead from crawling into things. He almost has all of his 4 top teeth.
