8 month old bug a lug and a new home

I know, I know...where have we been? It's been a very busy few months for us!!!

Leo became mobile at about 6 months. It started with an army crawl. Then the real crawling started right before 7 months. In both stages of crawling Leo has proven to be very speedy!!! When he gets focused on something there is no stopping him. Needless to say, we have been running after him morning, noon and night!

All of this mobility blossomed right as we were moving into our new home. Charlie and I sold our home in the burbs and headed back into town! We could not be happier!! We are renting this great, warm and homey house in the Westbury area. Charlie is uber close to work and school, we have wonderful neighbors and we feel like we are right where we belong.

So on to the 8.5 old sweet baby boy. Not only is he crawling, but he is also pulling up to standing, crusing around on the furniture and walking with assistance. He loves to push around anything with wheels that let's him "walk" around. He recently mastered drinking water from a straw!! He also babbles non stop and has moved on from ga-ga to ma-ma, ba-ba and da-da. Leo laughs more freely now which is just music to our ears!

Medically things are about the same. We confirmed his milk protein allergy when we tried yogurt, but other than milk and corn we have not encountered any other food allergies. He's really taken to meat, Leo just loves chicken and turkey and now has meat with every meal. Thats also been great for his weight gain, Leo now weighs 18.4 lbs and is about 29-30 inches long.

I'll post pictures soon and I will get better about posts again. The move kicked my butt!! :) I have also downloaded an app that will let me get posts up from my phone so I am hoping that will help too.
