seven months old (i know i'm late!)

Luke is seven months old!  Well seven and a half months old by now.  I'm a little behind the ball on this one.  I haven't even taken his progression pictures! 

At seven months old Luke:
weighs 20 lbs 7 oz
is 27 1/2 inches long
is in 12 months clothing
wears size 4 diapers



Luke is still toothless!

Lots of Drool but no teeth yet!


















Luke can sit up on his own now and reach for toys without falling over.
Look at all those muscles!

Luke loves his bath time fun!

He loves bath time!

 
Luke mostly eats pureed foods at meal times but we are trying to start feeding him actual fruits and vegetables.  He is still trying to figure out how to feed himself.
 
 















Luke loves sucking on his toes

nom nom nom

He is starting to try crawling.  It is pretty slow going right now but i'm sure he will pick up soon.  Sometimes he has to put his head down to help him crawl because his brains weigh too much  ;o)


My brains are too heavy






He loves standing at his entertainment table but he still needs help to stand.
 
 
 
He loves twirling things.  He likes to spin them with his fingers.

Sweet 17 Months

Luke: weighs approx. 27 lbs not sure how tall has 8 teeth and one coming in wears size 5 diapers wears size 2T clothing wears size 6 shoes Takes 1 nap - approximately an hour and a half during the day Almost always sleeps through the night Someone asked me the other day what Luke was like.  I was a little taken aback because I couldn't find the words to say to explain him.  Mostly because he's such a complex little guy.  So in honor of his (almost) 17 month milestone, I thought I'd try to capture some of his essence.  Luke is such a bright ray of sun.  He is generally pretty happy and he loves to laugh.  And when he does he laughs way deep, down in his belly.   his big ole grin He also loves food.  There are so many times that I feel like there is no possible way he could STILL be eating.  But he keeps saying "more" and signing more.  he's a happy boy for food! He also likes to be scared.  Many hours are spent by running around a

Letters

some of these lines have been floating around in my head for several weeks now and they just came together tonight.  It's one of those things that I just couldn't get out of my head until I wrote it down.  letters written letters read letters from souls who are dead letters carved upon a grave letters are the things I save letters written on those lines letters penned from hands that are mine letters in a spot near to my bed letters memorized in my head letters inked upon my skin letters from a voice within letters with a sense of peace letters that are meant to ease letters written letters sent letters confirming what I meant letters ushering the peace I've found letters soothe my crying sounds letters containing things unsaid All I have are letters written letters read

Advice I WOULD have given

I had to write a letter of advice to a fictitious 16 year old girl giving my sage advice about the business world.  Of course I thought of Brittany immediately and even though she isn't here for me to tell her these things, this is what I WOULD have told her if she had asked.  The professor told me that it was "really lovely" and "one of the best letters from the class".  I thought I'd share because why the heck not.  Maybe one day I'll have a baby girl to tell these things to......          Dear Brittany, I am flattered that you think so highly of me that you are seeking my advice.   I have found these ideas immensely helpful to me and I hope you will find as much success with them as I have.   Being a young woman has many advantages, but I have always believed that a woman should be able to support herself no matter what life brings her way.   Because of this, I am a huge proponent of education.   In addition to getting your Bachelor’s
