8 Months Old

Luke turned 8 months old on Sunday and is turning into such a little person. Here's what is new since last month:

• Crawls on all fours easily
• Pulls up to stand on anything including a wall
• Cruises around the furniture
• Can sit back down from a standing position without falling over
• Says dadada (still not directed at anyone)
• Feeds himself cheerios and puffs without help (see pic below) Luke can also feed himself other things as well. Yesterday I was feeding Luke bananas and cereal. The phone rang so I went to get it and when I got back he had grabbed the bowl and food was everywhere. It is hard to see in this picture but it was all in his hair, inside his ear, up his nose. I know this wont be his last mess! Here is another pic of his teeth. They are really coming in fast. He looks so cute with teeth and he likes to bite everything. Yesterday I caught him biting the coffee table.

Oh and Luke is finally starting to get better after a week of being sick. Today is the first day that his appetite has returned. Poor thing probably lost some pounds after the week we had. I have never seen a virus this contagious. The final count was 8 family members infected. Anyone who came to my house to see Luke from Tuesday on got sick. It was quite a week and we are starting to get cabin fever! I think tomorrow Luke and I will be able to get out and run some errands. I have never been more excited to go to Target!
