8 month old update

Connor finally started crawling on his knees yesterday instead of doing the worm. Joe and I were so excited. Hopefully he'll stop spitting up as much with this new development! He is pulling up onto everything in sight and is quite the chatterbox. This evening he is just laughing at anything and everything.

The Coakley family is excited to carve our first Halloween pumpkin tonight. We are going to carve a Jack-o-Lantern and then I am going to use the insides to cook. I haven't decided what to do with the innards yet, so any ideas are welcome!

Joe and I look at Connor and cannot believe that almost 9 months have passed. It has just flown by! He's eating at the table with us now each night for dinner and Joe and I have enjoyed family prayer over the meal.
