Purdue vs. Iowa

If anyone is watching the Purdue football game today...look for Doug! Yep, he is at the game. He is actually working as "secruity" with the Knights of Columbus. He gets to check peoples' bags and what not as they enter the stadium, walk up and down the stairs making sure people behave, and guard the field during half-time and after the game. Of course, he also gets to watch the game (for free). Hopefully, he doesn't freeze! It is a cool 33 degrees (wind chill of 23) today with the chance of snow before noon. Let's hope PU can pull out a victory!

Boiler Up!

Rocking Chair Ghost?

Movin'

My little man has decided that he can't sit still any longer. This morning, he was all over the living room. He was not technically crawling, but he was not always rolling...so I guess he is in the creeping or scooting stage. If that makes sense! He will occasionally pull himself up on all fours. I was able to capture it on camera. Notice what he is after? Guess I'll have to start some baby-proofing!

Until next time...

8 Months Old

OK, so I am a day late, but I know you really won't mind. Dallas had his 8th month birthday yesterday. He is growing and changing all the time. Which, I'm sure all you other moms know how that is. He has started to get up on all fours and rock a few times, but no forward movement. He is also starting to grab on to things like he wants to pull himself up. I guess I should continue to enjoy these last few moments of him not getting into things!

As far as his growth stats...I'm guessing he is around 21 or 22 pounds and probably close to 30 inches tall. Again, these are just estimates. I tried sitting him on our scales, and they read 19 pounds! I know that can't be true, he hasn't lost weight since his last check-up... wait, does that mean my weight is off as well? Nahh...

I have also tried taking a tape measure to see his height, but he pulls on it and wiggles too much! I guess you and I will have to wait until his next well-baby check-up on the 12th of December for the accurate measurements.

So...until then, just enjoy the pictures and know that he is definitely a growing boy!

What are you doing, Mom?Dallas' latest trick...sticking out his tongue!

Cheese!

Here's one of Doug when he was 8 months old...

There might be a slight resemblance...

Until next time...
