8 Months Old

June 26, 2010

Lucas is already eight months old and I am so sad how fast the time is going. He just started waving "bye-bye" on demand this morning. He is trying so hard to pull himself up into a stand. He is not crawling yet, but could be soon...he seems more interested in standing and walking then he does tyring to get around on all fours. His top right tooth is poking through, which explains all of his drool. He started shaking his head about a month ago and will do it if you shake your head at him first.

The other day I was feeding him applesauce that I had made. I asked him, "Do you like Mama's applesauce and he shook his head no" I thought it was hilarious. We recently placed him in the big tub for his bath and he loves it! He splashes his hands in the water with his mouth wide open and then sprays himself in the face and laughs. It is pretty darn funny. We signed him up for eight weeks of swim lessons, which start next Tuesday. We are excited to see him in the water.

He is sleeping and napping really well. We put him down at 6:00 for bed and he sleeps until 6:00 the next morning. He usually takes two pretty good naps during the day.

We are working on clapping and sign language and he is getting so close to picking those up too.

I just can't believe in four months he will already be a year old. Were does the time go?

Teething?

Actually, I am not sure if this is part of Lucas' teething or if this was the first time he found his tongue! I had to post these because they are pretty funny. :) He did this about a month ago and I have not seen him do it since :(

Playing in the Sheets

Making the Bed...I don't think so: Remember as a little kid how fun it was to take all four corners of a sheet, throw it up and then run underneath it while trapping the air inside? Lucas was helping me make the bed and I was trapping him along with the air underneath the sheets. He loved it! I thought I would share our fun time making the bed.

7 Months

May 26th,

I just can't believe how fast time goes by. Lucas is already seven months old! We had our weight check up today and he is doing well. He weighed 16.12oz; he is just at the 25% for his age, which is getting better. Lucas started his blabble talk about a week ago and it is awesome! It is mostly Dada dada gaga gaga baba baba...we keep trying to practice Mama mama, but he just won't spit it out yet. :)

Last weekend Casey went rafting and Lucas and I were on the porch waving bye-bye to "Daddy". We came inside and Lucas said, "Dada" I am sure it was just a coincidence, but it was so perfect.

Deception Creek Hike

We decided to take Lucas on a little hike at Deception Creek. Ed took these pictures of Lucas sitting in the moss! We had a great time. We found the camping spot for the kiddos first overnight camping trip.

Mommy Needs a Bib Too!

I was fully warned that this would happen so I have been waiting for him to start spitting his food at me. Well, Lucas figured it out today. Here is a video of Lucas learning how to blow his lips together with food in his mouth so it sprays EVERYWHERE!!! Enjoy. I need to go wash our clothes, now.
