7 months old!

Luke is 7 months old and quiet the happy baby! He is approximately 19 lbs and is 27 1/4 inches long. He is wearing only 12 months clothes now and we are hoping he will stay here for a bit. He continues with a similar sleeping pattern of: napping from 9:30-10:30 am and 1:30-3:30ish pm and sleeping from 7:30pm- 4:30ish am. He is still nursing two times a day and drinking three 6 oz bottles of formula. We are still using the sot formula as we aren't sure if he has outgrown his lactose intolerance, and just don't want to chance it!

This month, Luke has tried the following new foods: carrots, peas, and butternut squash. He loved each of them! We did attempt to give him banana's once but they were to thick for Luke to eat. Laura has continued to make all of the food Luke has eaten and she hopes to continue until he is a year old. However, now that school has started, we will she if she has enough time to keep up with our little eating machine!

New discoveries Luke made this month were his tongue. He loves sticking it out at everyone! He thinks it is funny! He is also able to sit up on his own for extended periods of time. He can reach for his toys on his own, as long as they are close enough for him to reach them! Sometimes, he ends up on his belly and then he rolls over right away (he is still not a fan of his belly!)

We wonder if next month with bring us a mobile baby boy? We will just have to wait and see!

Bounce!

We recently took out the Johnny Jump-Up to see if Luke was ready to use it. He didn't quite get the hang of it but Caitlynn quickly remembered exactly what to do and was quick to show Luke the ropes!

Going to Bed Book

Every night, we read Luke "The Going to Bed Book". Caitlynn loves hearing the story and often sits in Luke's room while we read it to him. She has heard it so often, she now knows it by heart. She saw the book on the floor and decided she wanted to "read" the book to him all by herself. Here she is:

Horse Back Riding!

While we were in PA for a wedding and staying with Mimi and Popi, a local farm was open for horse back riding. Caitlynn also loves looking at horses but have never gotten to ride one so we decided to take her. She was a bit hesitant at first and she did not want to wear the helmet (probably because she didn't want helmet hair!). She eventually wore the helmet, sat on the horse, and was ready to go! She went around the arena one time with Ryan by her side, which was just enough for her. Maybe next time, she will want to go all be herself!
