10 Months Old!

Lukas is getting to be such a big boy! He is more active than ever, and if we could somehow harness that energy we'd never have to pay a power bill again!

Lukas at 10 months:
- is still crawling anywhere and everywhere as fast as he can
- pulling up on everything and barely holding on once he's standing
- has stood all on his own for as much as 30 seconds (he's going to get the hang of the standing alone thing soon)
- has already had a bloody lip (from bouncing in his crib), a scraped chin (from trying to crawl to fast and "tripping" over himself), and many other bumps and bruises
- is babbling in "sentences"...he's starting to put inflection in his babble (it's really cute)
- is eating some table-style food (he likes to chew the food he's just not very good at picking it up)
- has mastered the straw style of sippy cup (and loves being able to drink juice all on his own)
- still eats almost anything we give him (the only thing he turns his nose up at cheese and so mac and cheese is out for now)
- loves to be outside
- still loves to swing
- reads books as if they are going out of style (although at this point he'll only wait long enough for you to say one or two words before he turns the page...but hey, he's "reading")
- thinks his mattress is his own personal trampoline
- thinks bath time is simply the best
- loves exploring...and not just exploring the house, he loves to explore his toys and make sure he knows exactly what they're doing and why
- knows the meaning of the word "no", but has decided that it's a game (don't worry, we'll get that worked out)
- has a very contagious smile and laugh (we have a lot of fun in our house!)
- love his Mommy and Daddy more and more every day
