8 months.

Lucas turned 8 months old on Saturday. He is 20.2lbs. We had our first encounter w the croup. I was in Nashville when he got it and from the stories I got from both sets of grandparents, it was ugly. Poor baby!

We are still working on crawling. Army crawling and scooting were easy. This whole getting on all 4's and moving forward is what he won't do. We practice everyday and he just doesn't want any part of it. He would rather sit, stand, or roll to what he needs. I'm out of ideas as to how to get him to progress. On a happier note he's really been into giving me kisses. I love this! He opens his mouth so wide and closes his eyes! Melts my heart.

We started feeding him stage 3 foods. He is such a good eater. I am amazed at how much he likes everything. Peas are the only thing I have seen 'the face' with ha. Here is a pic of tonight's chicken noodles and he got a little on his new Jammie's. My favorite by the way! :)

Football games were on so we decided to watch the games and take our bath in the living room! He had fun! got water everywhere. Ha!

Baby's first Halloweenie :)

This year we got to dress up Lucas in his first Halloween costume. Although he couldnt do much of the 'Trick-or-Treating', it was still fun to see him in his Bengal costume. I took him up with me to Lapel to see his little cousin Callie Jo. I wanted to get the kiddos together for some pics since they will be spending lots of time together when I come home to visit! I must say, she was the cutest little elephant I have ever seen! Not to mention, she looks like me as a baby anyways :) Here are a few pics from the holiday! It was a Jungle at the house this year :)
