8 month Check In (ok 8.5 month...)

Well it may be closer to 8 and half months now but HEY it's still the 8th month!

Our little tyke is getting SO BIG. He is almost completely out of his 6 month clothes, save for the more generous sized ones, and in to 9 months clothes (ok some of them are still a little big...). On his 8 month birthday he weighed in at 19.6 lbs!  

Lucas is getting closer everyday to crawling.  He has almost gotten his knees completely underneath him on several occasions, especially when he is trying hard to get something just out of his reach.  

He has become a pro at sitting up and  rolling over both ways, although his transitions from sitting up to laying down aren't the softest...there are a lot of bumped heads, but they are quickly healed with some good ol' love and kisses from mom and dad. Speaking of his head, the little bit of hair that he has seems to be getting thicker every couple of days. I will say that it's not quite the color blonde that elijah had (toe-head), it actually looks like it may be strawberry blonde!  We will see though, I think we will need to wait another few months for more to come in to really see what color it will be....and for how long at that. ;)

Lucas loves his big brother. Loves to watch him, loves to listen to him, loves to just be in his presence.  Let's just say Elijah is learning to return the sentiments... hahaha, this may be a 20 year learning curve though...HAHA.

All in all Lucas is a very happy and chill baby. People are constantly commenting on his disposition. We are pretty darn proud of our once colicky baby and what he is growing in to.
