8 months old

Luke is now 8 months old and is busier then ever! He weighs about 21 lbs and is 28 inches long. He goes to bed around 7:30 pm every night and wakes up at 5:00ish am for a bottle then goes back to sleep until 7:00 am. He also takes two naps each day from 9:30-10:30 am and 1:30-3:30ish pm. Laura is officially done nursing so Luke is now just on formula and food. He drinks four 7 oz bottles at 5:00ish am, 11:00 am, 4:00 pm, and 7:30 pm. He also eats rice cereal at 9:00sih am and has a fruit and/or veggie at 1:00 pm and 6:00 pm. New foods Luke has tried this month were mango's, apples, and pumpkins. Laura has still kept up with making all of Luke's baby food and he has continued to love everything he has eaten!

This month, Luke figured out to grab food off of his tray and feed himself. He has now tried Cheerios's and Puffs, which he quickly learned were yummy to eat! He now enjoys both of these as "extra snacks" during dinner time.

Luke discovered how to roll from his back to his belly at the beginning of the month. Now, he is able to roll around all over the place to get what he wants! He enjoys being on his belly more often now and sometimes even pushes up and scoots backwards. we are sure crawling is just around the corner for Luke!

Special memories from this month were Luke and Caitlynn now have a new cousin! Ryan's sister Jill and her husband Mike welcomed Hannah Bella on October 6th at 6:34pm. She weighed 7lbs 5ozs and was 20.5 inches long. You can check out pictures of her on their blog that we follow: Raspanti Family.
