10 Months Old!

Well, it seems only appropriate that my first "real" post would be about some milestones in Lucas' life. Those of you who keep up with me on Facebook know that I have chronicling Lucas' growth this year in monthly pictures with two of his stuffed animals.  Here is his one month picture:

Look at that scrawny little guy! (SO CUTE!) Anyway, Lucas turned 10 months old today, and my, how far we have come:

I am so looking forward to taking all of these pictures (along with lots of others from each month) and turning them into a photo book after he turns 1. I have been keeping track each month of his favorite things and major milestones that I will include in the book, too.

This past weekend, Lucas reached BIG milestone...he is now a walker!  He doesn't do it all the time, since crawling is still much more efficient.  But, he is now pretty confident taking 8-10 steps at a time whenever he wants to.  It's so cute watching him do his little toddle across the room. We are working on getting a video, but that little red light just mesmerizes him so much that he can never do anything else while it is on.

Other 10 month things to remember...you can say "mama" pretty consistently (especially when you are tired or sad!), you love to point at things and have us talk about them, you love to knock down block towers, still love balls and climbing, talk A LOT in your own language, love to pet the doggies, still love pears and grilled cheese the most, but won't eat plain cheese anymore, think riding in the grocery cart is the highlight of your week! 

I can't believe it's only two more month until Lucas is 1...time to start party planning :)
