Lucas: Eight Months Old

I seem to be getting later and later with these posts... Cant imagine why :)




Lucas turned Eight Months Old on July 10th.  Here are some of the things he is up to:
  • Goes to bed promptly between 9:00-9:30. He likes to sleep mostly on his side.  And, with mommy in the big bed!
  • Still no sleeping for long stretches. A good night is when he wakes twice - midnight for binky and around 3 or 4 am for a feeding.  A bad night is when he wakes 6 or more times for 'who knows why!!!'
  • He eats two meals a day and is enjoying a lot of new finger foods like grilled cheese, cherries, mac and cheese, wheat toast, rice, pancakes, and Meat House turkey and steak tips
  • Can use pincher grasp to pick up small pieces of food and feed self
  • Says Da Da
  • Can put a toy down and pick up another
  • Reaches toward person when they go to pick him up
  • Started rolling back and forth and skooching on top of head and heels to get places
  • Up on all four's rocking back and forth (ready to crawl???!!!)
  • First trip to Boston (July 5th) and went to the aquarium and the Duck Boat Tour
  • First fireworks (July 4th - did not like them)
  • First boat ride on Sabago Lake (July 8th)
  • First amusement ride - Saratoga Springs Carousel - June 26th. Loved it!
