Firsts. While we were in NY for our annual Rathgeber Reunion Luke had a bunch of firsts. Sad that Chris wasn't there to witness them - but we sent him lots of pics. Wanted to jot some of these things down so we could remember. He's 7 1/2 months old now. Getting to be such a big boy.
While in NY (for 2 weeks) Luke -
*Got his first 3 teeth (bottom middle, top right incisor - or fang, as we call it, and the start of the top left fang). He was such a good boy I didn't even know his teeth came in. Hardly even fussed. But would wake up 1-2 times a night. I should have known something was up.
*Started eating real food and sitting in the highchair. (Cheerios, puffs, yogurt melt things, NY bagels-of course, pretzels, and caught Aunt Patti feeding him a Fiber One bar at some point too.) He won't eat baby food anymore, only real people food.
*Started scooting/army crawling. And pretty fast, too. He was doing it a little at home, but in NY he started going forward, and not only in a circle and backwards. Now he is up on all fours and has started crawling but hasn't really taken off yet.
*Ate his first handfuls of sand. And thoroughly enjoyed it I believe. Cousin Tucker is teaching him everything he knows :)
Other things Luke is up to -
*Going to the Kids Club at 24 Hour Fitness now with mom & dad. And cried the last 3 nights so we have to pick him up and our workouts get cut short. He's turning into a mama's boy!
*Got another tooth coming in. Bottom middle.
*Can sit up from the crawling position. So cute, went to get him from his crib the other day and he was just sitting there talking to the wall. haha, love it.
*Starting waving hello lately. So adorable.
*Chris and I both think we heard Luke say "mama" the other night. Not certain though.
*Sounds like he's on his way to saying "dada" & "duck" as well.
*Starting turning pages when we read instead of just eating them.
*Loves when he does something good and you clap for him. He's starting to attempt to clap himself.
So fun to watch him learn new things all the time. Thankful everyday for a happy, healthy baby!!
he is so handsome, what a good looking kid!

ReplyDeleteSo happy you had such a great time with your family in NY. Definite memory making times.
Luke is so stinkin' cute! Can't believe how much he's doing now, it's such a fun stage!
ReplyDeleteLuke is the cutest!!! I love his little outfits/swims trunks too, he is such a stylish little boy:) ... It is so fun that he is doing all of these new things! I can not believe how fast it all goes. It is so fun to see him and Quinn interact/play! They will be the bestest buds before we know it:)
