Happy 8 Months!

Can you believe it??? Lucas is 8 months old already! He is a happy boy, which makes for a happy mommy and daddy! Here are some things that Lucas has accomplished in his short 8 months of life:

- He can army crawl with the best of them.
- He can pull himself up to a standing position (but only using the bread box drawer, we are working on this using other objects).
- He LOVES to stand.
- He is eating all fruits and veggies and having a taste of whatever Wally and I are eating for supper.
- He is an amazing sleeper. I can count maybe 2-3 times since he started sleeping through the night at 3 1/2 months that he has woken up in the middle of the night.
- He loves to go for walks in his stroller.
- He is nosy, just likes his parents.
- He has been to the zoo 3 times.
- He has been to more professional baseball games than any other 8-month old I have ever met.
- He has the BEST laugh and gets a kick out of the craziest things.
- He LOVES his Nala (our dog).
- He says no words yet, but Wally and him have some crazy cavemen talk that I swear they are able to communicate using.
- When I shake my head and say "no, no", he gives me the cutest smile. (I don't think this will be as cute down the road.)
- He is TERRIFIED of the Dyson.
- He has 5 teeth and is a teething champ. We used orajel only one time and I think it was more because I felt bad for him, and not because he needed it. I consider us VERY lucky!
- He can maneuver his walker like no 8-month old should be able to.
- He found the toilet paper in the bathroom and finds great joy in pulling it and trying to eat it.
- He reaches out for you and touches our arm when sitting next to us. I like to think that is his way of showing affection or just making sure we are still there :)
- He is PERFECT (in our eyes).

The little guy wasn't much in the mood for pictures tonight so I will try to get some tomorrow night instead.

Disclaimer (for my mom and Carly): All of the above are true and not falsified in any way. This is our Lucas and we would never make this stuff up. :)
