Luke is 7 Months Old!?!!


Luke turned 7 months old today (October 8th)! We do not have a 7 month check up at the doctor, so we have no stats, but we do know that Luke is a BIG boy. He is wearing 9-12 month clothes and size 4 diapers, and we have actually bought him some pants to wear now that it's starting to get cooler outside. He spent pretty much the whole summer in just onesies. Wearing pants has been a little bit of an adjustment for him, but we figured he had to learn sometime!

Luke is still the happiest baby we know.

He loves to sit up and play in his little gated play area. He loves it even more when Katie comes in to play with him! He is really good at reaching for things, and he can lean WAY over to grab something and sit right back up. He likes to push up like he is thinking about crawling, but he still hasn't gotten up on his knees yet. He is awesome at pivoting and scooting on his belly.

He started saying "Mama" a while ago, but then decided not to say it at all for a couple weeks. Just last night (in the middle of the night - he still wakes up one or two times a night), he started crying for "Mama" again, so things are back as they should be. The only sounds he really says are "ma-ma-ma" and "bah-bah-bah." He has not really attempted to say "Da-da" yet, though he may have accidentally said it one or two times.

Luke has eaten all kinds of foods now - yogurt, squash, green beans, peas, applesauce, bananas, broccoli, carrots - almost anything that is available in mushy baby food.

Luke is still awesome about going all over the place for Katie's activities and all the fun stuff we have been doing lately. Katie has had soccer, ballet, choir, and swimming lessons during the month of September. Luke is great about sitting and happily watching from his stroller or our lap. He is just the happiest baby!!!

We love our 7 month old!
