Our little boy is not so little anymore. His last weigh in (at 8.5 months) he weighed a whopping 22lbs.
But aside from his physical growth, he is just developing so fast, and learning new things every day. It's very exciting to watch him figure out something new all the time.
I am still not sure that Luke is going to crawl... he gets on his hand and knees, and can kinda shimmy a few feet, but he does it very unwillingly, and usually whining and crying the whole way... he HATES tummy time. Now walking on the other hand... that is his ultimate goal. He will walk with you holding his hands ALL day if you allow him. He recently (first time was in the baby care lounge at Amsterdam airport) figured out how to pull himself to a standing position in his crib. Since then he has done it more and more regularly. It's kinda funny going into his room and seeing my little man standing in his crib.
Today, he reached a new 'mobility milestone'... he pulled himself up on the coffee table. Now you probably don't think that is a big deal seeing how he does it in his crib, but it actually is. Luke for some reason has been very skeptical of holding onto anything aside from his crib and your hands. I had tried a few times to get him to stand at our furniture, but he would just sit back down and cry for you to give him your hands.

Anyway, so our little baby, is very quickly turning into an active little boy. He is a handful, but he brings us a lot of joy, and we love having him in our home.
Here are some recent pictures of my little monkey:
