First Watermelon

I'm 8 months!

I am eight months old already! For the first time a month will not be highlighted by any visits to the doctor's office, because I am doing fabulous! My talent list now includes: feeding myself mushy things and pulling up on anything that will hold still long enough. Recently I earned the nickname Crash Man Luke because I am forever crashing into something. My great joys of the moment include racing Mom to the litter box and clearing shelves of any reachable objects. I also love dancing, bike rides, hanging out in the Mei tai, my silly sister and playing with water (even if that water is just Emma's bowl). Presently my most difficult thing is sleeping at night, I'll stand up when I should be sleeping and find myself stuck that way and needing assistance to get back down and soothing to return to dreamland. My tired parents are hoping that I soon learn to get down on my own, but it's sort of nice to visit with them all night. I've been told that someday my reign as baby may end so I have to check in every two hours or so to make sure my voice is still heard. Sure enough, Mom or Dad is right there every time!

haircut time!

Woo Hoo! So much cooler (and blonder!) now!

push cart

Kelsea thought it would be a good idea for me to push her in the wagon, so we entertained her for a short while. Standing is great!
but awfully hard work
as soon as I decided it was lots of fun Kelsea took the wagon away. You can tell Mommy caught her doing something she ought not by that goofy look on her face.

Why lay flat on the floor when there is a perfectly good dog and block available?

Can I eat it? Can I climb it?

These are two questions foremost in my mind. The speaker as it turns out is not the tastiest, but okay for climbing.

7 months

I'm seven months old! I love to climb: Actually I can get my knees up on these bars too, completely off the ground, but then it gets a bit scary and Mom always rescues me instead of taking a picture of it.
Now there is proper crawling, but I often drop to my belly still because it's quicker.
And I can pull up on the chairs like so
I still think Daddy is the funniest
And love to cuddle at night.
