I didn't think I would do this every month, and I probably won't, but Luke has been doing so many new things this month I had to document. Not that all of you care, but this IS his baby book. :)
Luke:
1. Has started speaking Luke language this week that includes "mananadababa" and other words like it. He says things like you should totally understand him.
2. Says Dada when he is trying to get Michael's attention or gets close to him.
3. Has taken a couple steps on his own and gets anywhere he wants to by crawling or cruising. He also walks pretty well just holding onto the walker.
4. Loves loves loves table food. Anything that makes him feel like a big boy eating like we do. Favorites include: cheese, chilli, and candy corn.
5. Scrunches his nose and shows his teeth when he's frustrated. (see above)
6. Has monster feet, is wearing 12-18 month shoes already.
7. Claps his hands. He does this after he sits down and is waiting for us say Yay. He also claps if he wants more of anythng because we are working on baby signs and it is sort of close. (see above again)
8. Loves to be held and suck his thumb when he's tired or hungry. I know I need to take advantage of the still cuddly phase while it lasts.
9. Has "outgrown" baby toys completely and only wants remotes, laptops, cell phones, electrical cords, and shoes. Oh and sticky mouse traps.
(We aren't roughing it out here in the country whatsoever, but we do have sticky mouse traps around the house and we HAVE caught four mice on them. That was all in two days and we haven't seen any since, Praise the Lord. City girl here was a little jumpy for those few days.)
