Luke is 8 months old!

Luke turned 8 months old last week. He's making so much progress! The last two weeks have been full of 'firsts.' Luke started saying his first word -- "dada." (Does that really count... it's not an actual word, but whatever. No, I'm not bitter at all - I only carried him for nine months and then breastfed him for six - but sure, say dada - whatever!) And he's getting his first two teeth - his two bottom front teeth are both coming in at the same time. I kept trying to take a picture of the teeth, but they are very hard to see, so you'll just have to take my word for it. And they are sharp too!!!

Here he is trying to figure out the sippy cup - he's not sure which side is up...




Here he is playing with a new toy... and it has a steering wheel! Watch him try to put the whole thing in his mouth... And of course nosy Miss Pumpkin is very close by...





Trying to capture those new teeth on film... not so easy!


He's not crawling yet, but he's so close. He's trying so hard to move around. One day soon he's going to figure it out. And when he does, boy, are we in trouble!!!


And I just love this picture... he loves this teddy bear!! (It's the one Greg and I made for him at Build A Bear, and we put a giggle sound in it).


And finally, we took these pictures tonight... Luke was too tired to even finish his dinner. He fell asleep in his high chair...
