Just a Mommy Brag

Lukas is so close to walking it's unbelievable. He is walking barely holding on to the furniture, holding on to your hands, his walker, the wall, etc. He's getting really good too, but he just hasn't quite figured out how to balance completely on his own. This is a video I took of him last Wednesday.





This little guy is so smart, and yes I'm biased. He can now say Mom, Dada (for Daddy), buh buh (for bye bye), and mo (for more). He will also uses the signs for "more" and "all done". He knows what the hand sanitizer is for, and whenever we get some will indicate that he needs some too by wiping his hands together. He will try to put socks and shoes on his feet (thankfully his own, not trying to wear Mommy or Daddy's shoes). He knows where his toothbrush is kept and will try to get it out so he can brush his teeth every time he's near it. He has mastered putting the lid back on his own bottle, and will take it off just so he can put it back on. He is starting to sort. For example, if he has a mixture of snack foods on his tray he will pick out the goldfish to eat first since they are his favorite. He's starting to figure out how to "do" puzzles.

He's just been doing so many new things lately I wanted to brag a little. I'm simply amazed at how fast he can pick up on things if it's something he wants to know. He is so attentive, so we're going to have to be very careful in the future since he will be watching our every move.

Squid is one of the cutest and smartest kids around. Y'all got really lucky, and he's lucky to have you.
