8 months with Luke

Luke Robert is 8 months old today, and I truly don't know how this is possible!  I blinked, and he's two-thirds of the way to a year.  In some ways, it's been a blur, but in others, it's been crystal clear and bright.  He brings so much light and joy to our family!


Luke is a momma's boy, for sure!  He always has his eye on me when I'm in the room.  There have been a few instances of major separation anxiety lately.  I sure love my sweet boy.  

He is scooting around/army crawling everywhere!  He will lift his bottom up and get on his knees, but can't quite figure out the crawling yet.  That's more than ok with us, as we're still enjoying the less mobile stage. :)  

Luke has 4 teeth, two top and two bottom.  They are getting more visible when he smiles and are so cute!

He is getting a better hang of the food thing.  We have been doing traditional purees mixed with some baby-led weaning ("real food").  He has tried all kinds of "real food" - cantaloupe, brussels sprouts, turkey meatballs, and more - but his very favorite so far is mango!  He also looooooves pouches and is getting good at drinking them himself. 

Luke is officially down to two naps!  I am master manipulator when it comes to getting both kids to nap at the same time.  I usually get anywhere from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours of overlap if I push Perry's nap later.  Woo-hoo!

Luke is just super smiley!  He loves swinging, rolling around, playing peek-a-boo, rolling the ball, watching his sister, looking in the mirror, and chewing on tags and shoestrings.  And he still LOVES his big sister!  She gets the most smiles and laughs by far. :)








We love our blonde, blue-eyed boy SO so much!
