Luke's Diary: 8 Months
Hi Mommy's Blog Readers!
I'm here with the eight month update! I'm late because I though I could do the update at Uncle Ben's, but once we got there Mommy told me the pictures were all on our computer at home. Anyway, better late than never, right? Right!
We had a really good month going from 7 to 8 months. We're getting so big! Here's Sissy in a top Mommy had when she was a baby:
And me, dressed like a dude as my Daddy says:
One new thing...Mommy has started giving us baths in the upstairs clawfoot tub. Our Grandma Charlotte was here all of October and she got us rubber duckies...Mommy had some for us too so even though you can't really see it in the picture, the bathtub is crazy with duckies. Mommy says it's a ducky armada, but I don't know what that means. What I do know is me and Sissy LOVE baths, and LOVE the duckies!
I don't really like it when it's time to get out, though:
I don't cry much, though...usually I'm super happy-go-lucky, and so is Sissy. We're both crawling now (although I crawled first by a pretty wide margin). Zoey did the "scoot-scoot" (pulling herself forward on her arms while laying on her tummy) for a while to get around...one time she spit up and then pulled herself right through it and then continued to scoot around. She ended up covered with dirt and dog hair...Daddy said she was impersonating a Swiffer Wet Jet.
And, we can pull ourselves up to standing--Grammy says we're doing it super early. And Zoey is talking like crazy, bababababa, mamamamama, and making "ptt" sounds and dadadadada. She also giggles like crazy. I'll giggle too, some (especially if someone wants to play peekaboo with me or tickle me), but I'm more of the strong, silent type myself.
Speaking of peekaboo, Sissy and I played with each other one day, a chair in the middle of us blocking our view. We'd peek around and see each other and laugh and laugh, and then pull back where we were hidden, and then do it again. Mommy said that was the cutest thing ever.
After Grandma Charlotte went home, Grammy Peggy and Grandpa Steve came back from their trip. We even got to spend some nights over at their house with Mommy while Daddy was travelling for work. Grandpa Steve is so much fun. He calls me "Cool Hand Luke," or "Cool Hand" for short, as in, "Hey, Cool Hand, whatcha up to?"
Grammy has been giving us cold carrots to gnaw on (we can't bite anything off so they are safe). Oh, and we have teeth I forgot to say! Sissy has two and I have one!
Anyway, Sissy and I generally are good at passing things like the carrot back and forth, but once in a while we get frustrated with the other for taking something that we think is ours and things end in tears.
Oh, and it was Daddy's brithday near Thanksgiving, and Mommy wanted to make him something from us so we made turkeys out of our handprints. Arts and crafts projects are fun!
So all-in-all, a really good month. We're going to be nine months so soon! Not too far until our first birthday! But Mommy says please grow up slow...I mean, she wants us to be healthy, but she wants this time to last so much, she says it's so wonderful and we pretty much agree.
Love,
Luke
