We can’t believe our sweet boy is
already 8 months old. The time sure has flown by, but it has been the best 8 months
of our life. Lucas has proven to be quite the character, and he finds himself
quite funny. Every day I notice another little thing he does that either
reminds me of Vinnie or myself.
Likes:
- Bouncing – this is still his favorite thing in the world to do. He will do it while sitting, while standing, while being held. Any chance he gets he bounces.
- People – he seriously is such a charmer. Any time we are anywhere he makes sure everyone notices him and how very cute and happy he is…(he saves all the anger for mommy and daddy at home)
- Staring – no one else seems to mind this little guy staring at them the entire time we are out and about, however, it makes his mom really uncomfortable… for the people he is staring at.
- Food – he has yet to dislike ANYTHING given to him. We have started him on meats and normal foods (mashed potatoes and such) and he seems to think it is all great.
- His videos – no matter what mood he is in, if we turn on his videos he perks right up and will just be lost in his own world.
- The dogs – every day he seems more aware of the dogs, however, recently he has decided they are the funniest things in the world. Any movement they make he laughs and laughs. He also likes to “pet” them… which generally ends up being him, poking them, in the eye.
- Playing with daddy - he loves to play with his daddy. He laughs louder and harder than any other time.
- Talking and singing – he is hardly
ever quiet, even in his sleep he wants to make sure we know he is still around.
First day at daycare!
Dislikes:
- Crawling backwards – just like last month, he STILL has not figured out how to move forward when crawling. His stance is getting better and better every day… but he still goes backwards.
- Being left by mom – since I have gone back to work he seems more hesitant to let we walk a foot away from him.
- Getting his nose wiped – he will do anything and everything to stop us from touching his nose… which has been really hard seeing as he has been sick forever.
- Teething – he actually seems to be
doing pretty okay with the whole teething process but he doesn’t want anyone
near his mouth at all. I think it just hurts too much to have anyone touch his
gums.
He is such a mommas boy
Accomplishments:
 |
| Sitting all by himself! |
- Sitting – YAY! he can FINALLY sit. I don’t really know what changed but one day he woke up and was just willing to do it, and now he does it any time we put him in a sitting position.
- His first tooth – he has gotten in his first bottom tooth with another one on its way…
- Playing with others – he started daycare this month… and I
will admit, mommy was pretty uneasy about the whole thing. But Lucas went and
made friends on the first day and has loved it. It is most definitely a harder
situation for mommy and daddy.
If you look close you can see the start of his tooth.
