Duke is 8 Months Old!

Look who turned 8 Months!!

He found out its a sticker!

Duke is 33 Weeks Old!

This week Duke has 4 new teeth and has captured the ability to say Da - Dad!!  Yes Duke had 4 teeth coming in at the same time, he is a trooper.  With all the teeth came lots of words, I should say baby words.  He sure likes to spit out what is on his mind and when he gets really excited.  Duke also found a new hobby, bouncing on the couch - yes mom & dad are right there but he loves it!  Duke also hit some new food milestones....he is onto the level 3 food which means mushed up meat and veggies, yummy!!  He is also tried up some mushy banana and peas mashed up during dinner and breakfast.  Now official crawl yet but he is for sure on the go in his own way, he also can stand on his own with the support of the couch or his toy table.  Check out all the fun we had this week!

Taking the puppy for a walk

Chilling with Jet

I love to jump in the corner of the couch

Bath time in the sink!

Do you see my red mark on my forehead?  Got it from taking his first hand forward to crawl and went down.

This is how Duke gets around.

I got some new toys!! Duke is looking for band members with his new instruments.

Enjoyed some swing time.

Yup I stand on my own!!

Check out how long my hair is getting.

I love to go for dad's nose after he feeds me.

Look at my two bottom chompers, and yes the 4 on top are there somewhere.

Checking out whats under the blanket.

Dad giving us directions from the chair.

Plenty of giggles for dad!

Story time before bed.

So serious as he tries to get going.

Looking for more toys.

Fun times at the beach.

Chillin with cousin Carter

Duke and mommy dancing.

He found himself in the mirror and started giving kisses.

Can you see the teeth!  Duke also loves the Itsy Bitsy Spider.

Duke is 32 Week's Old!

This week Duke is on the move!  He is attempting to crawl in his own way, mom & dad love watching him get around but also love watching him get frustrated.....he puts his head down and almost pouts because he tries so hard but yet just can't get it ;)  Duke is also becoming vocal, and mom is not happy about this one.  His first word is defiantly Dad Dad!  Along with dad dad came a lot more grunting.  When he gets excited, trys to move and jumps he will grunt and grunt!  This week was filled with lots of fun moments, enjoy the photos of our happy this man!  Mom and dad feel so blessed.

After bath time with Dad I had letters stuck to all my hair!

Just rolling around!

Starting to get into trouble....

Mom and Duke having fun with the puppy and enjoying a few rides around the house.

Giving kisses to the dog.

Loving the swing and the wind in his hair.

My pouter face.

I am moving.

Coming in at.......around 20lbs

Right after bath time.

After many attempts at crawling the head goes down for a quick rest, it is just so cute.  He takes about a 20 sec. breather.

Yup duke is working on his push ups and planks.

Being buddies, and then when Jet isn't looking goes in for the kill.....Jet's toy.

A good shot of the plank.

Fun times in the pool on a great MN Day.

Having fun while out for lunch.

Just chilling in the kitchen while mom makes pancakes.

Enjoying the last walk in the Baby Bjorn - due to his weight and height won't work any more :(
