8 months

Luke is 8 months old already! Can you believe it? He will be a toddler soon, and we are certainly not ready for him to be "on the move". In the past few weeks, we have enjoyed Pilots soccer games and spent time with our extended family. A real treat was seeing Vibha, a friend from grad school. She came to Oregon to attend a wedding and we spent the afternoon with her yesterday.

Luke was sick for the second time of his life last Friday and Saturday. He had a very high fever and the doctor diagnosed him with some sort of virus that creates blisters in the mouth, on the hands, and on the feet. It was a bit scary for us to see him so sick last Friday, but he recovered quickly and was back to his normal self by noon yesterday.

Our little guy is trying to figure out how to move. From a sitting position, he tips himself forward on his hands and gets into a crawling position. From there, he either lands on his belly or flips to his side. He also likes to pull himself up on anything to get to a standing position.

Enjoy some recent pictures!


Almost crawling, Luke?
