Happy 8 Month Birthday Luke!


I know I say this every month, but geez has another month really gone by? You are so close to being 1!! You've had a big month, between getting your little chompers and some ear tubes and saying Mmmmm-Ma. You are getting to be such a big boy too. You are definitely packing on the pounds (I meant to weigh you this evening and I forgot - sorry) but you don't have a ton of rolls. You are more of a "solid" kind of guy! Last month you weighed around 19-20lbs and were almost 28 inches.
You have been working a lot on your pincer grip thanks to Gerber Puffs! You could eat a whole container every night! Well I guess you could empty an entire container, but only about 1/10th make it into your mouth. You are getting so close to taking off. With a little "Mommy/Daddy Boot Camp" every night, you are getting so much stronger and staying on your hands and knees a lot longer every day. Blake didn't crawl until 10 months and didn't walk until 15...why do I have a feeling you are going to beat that! You are such a cutie. I call you my little "growlie bear" because you make this funny growling noise AND because you have a tendency to be a grumpy little bear if you don't get your way.

Oh baby boy, we love you so much and it's hard to believe our family has now been complete for 8 months! It feels like you just came on board. So many good times ahead...and we have a special surprise for your 9 month birthday. Your first airplane ride! Mommy and Daddy decided we all needed a break from this Minnesota winter so off to the sunny state of Florida we go!
