At 8 months old, Luca's strength and mobility seems to double by the day! He is sitting and crawling, and even starting to pull himself up in his crib.
When he doesn't want to be held, he twists and turns in my arms, crawling up my belly and chest until I finally put him down and then, like a little wind-up toy, he motors across the room doing his little army crawl on his elbows and knees...and don't get me started on how impossible it is to change his diaper these days!
This month I started putting him in the stroller without the carseat and he is LOVING the freedom and increased scenery,
often holding onto the bars in front of him with such excitement that he looks like he's boarding a ride at Disneyland!
I just started giving him bath toys to play with while he's in the tub and now he could easily spend an hour in the water if I let him. He loves playing peek-a-boo, he takes over the spoon as I try to feed him, and his first two teeth have broken through - and boy, are they sharp! He continues to jabber away, even making da-da and ma-ma sounds, though we sadly admit they are still nothing more than syllables at this point - one of his favorite phrases is "da da nyang nyang," which mom reminds me was one of my first, too.
He is starting to focus on the cartoons when I put the TV on Nick Jr. - and they're starting to grow on me, too. And he is really enjoying all of his toys, especially the ones that light up and/or play music - though, his favorites still seem to be remote controls and cell phones. Also, he is becoming quite the little Tarzan in his doorway jumper...
