Orlandi Family Tree: 8 Months Old!

On his 6-month birthday Luigi rolled over both back to front and front to back.
On his 7-month birthday Luigi got his first tooth.
On his 8-month birthday...well, really 8 months plus 3 days...Luigi got a second tooth and began to crawl! The video of his first crawl is posted at the following YouTube link:

Luigi has been trying to crawl for several weeks now. His yoga poses are vastly improving, as he has been experimenting with different types of movement that might propel him forward. He does a fantastic "down dog", "pigeon", and "forward fold". Here is a great example:

Mommy and Luigi are having tons of fun together. We still attend several playgroups and walking groups each week. We try out parks and stores, go wine tasting and explore nearly every facet of Petaluma. Here are some of my favorite photos from our outings.

Fort Baker.

Discovery Museum in Saucelito.

Benicia Waterfront with Grammy and Uncle Scotty.

Bodega Bay (Daddy came on this outing too!)

Wine Tasting at Chateau St. Jean.

Playtime with Annie.

Mother's Day was fun. We spent the day with the Yoders. And we were happy to see Luigi warming up to everyone...my large, loud family was a little much for Luigi at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Now it looks like we might even have found some babysitters!
