8 Months

This 8th month blog post is coming a little late as I have not had a lot of free time lately with John traveling for work and with Luke being a little stinker and not taking naps.  Luke began scooting backwards and pivoting on all fours this past month.  He even tries to pull himself forward with his arms.  He didn't master the crawling in the 7th month...more to come in next months blog post! Over the 7th month we took Luke to the Orange County Fair, Disneyland to ride the Pirates of the Caribbean ride for the first time, and swimming.  He loves to be out of the house so we try to take him out as much as possible.  As long as we make it a short trip, he does great when we go out to dinner.  He loves to sit in the high chair and eat dinner with mom and dad.  He is eating stage 2 foods and starting to get the hang of puffs.  He also started drinking from a sippy cup with a straw.


8 Month Stats:

Its getting harder to take his picture with our Mini Milestones...He kept grabbing at it to put it in his mouth!
