Odds and Ends

A few weeks ago we bought Lukas a new playmat. He likes the fact that it is like a puzzle because I'll find him pulling at the different pieces to it and chewing on them.



In the above picture you can see that he is surrounded by toys, however, after he was left to play for a while I found him like this:




Who needs toys when you have blinds, right? He certainly has fun with them. He plays with them every time he gets close enough.

Lukas has also figured out exactly how to sit. This time I'm not talking about Mommy balancing and hoping he holds the pose long enough for a picture. Oh no, this is honest to goodness sitting. He decided, while at a friends birthday party this past Saturday (the 13th), that he knew how to sit. I put him down and he just sat. Of course he also gave me a look like, "what Mom? I knew how to do this all along I just didn't want to." He's getting so big!! I can't believe he'll be 6 months old this Friday!
