Toy Basket

We wanted to watch some of the Lakers game while Luke was still awake, but since it was pretty close to his bedtime, he tends to like to be entertained or distracted to stay happy. Well, I got out his toy basket and let him have access to the whole thing! This kept him busy for quite a while. :) (most of the basket had already been emptied at this point) I think it's pretty funny how he'd look at a toy then throw it back in the basket, then go for the next one.

Screw in the Basket

Luke figured out how to put the screw from his tool bench into the hole above the basket on his sports toy. Very clever!

Napping

Here's a sneak peak into one of Luke's naps. I went in to see if he was ready to get up because it was time, only he was sleeping so soundly. Since taking pictures makes noise, I thought it would be fun to take a video since I can set the camera to start (and beep) prior to going in his room in order to preserve his sleep. I hope you enjoy his peaceful little face as much as I do!

Eating a piece of bread

Here's another example of his first time trying something not cut up. He's still got a long way to go! When he's sucking on the bread, with a huge piece hanging out, I crack up EVERY time!

Eating a Whole Banana

This was pretty much my first attempt at giving Luke something "whole" to eat. I'd tried a graham cracker several months back and he just bit off a piece and choked on it. He still very much needs to learn how to moderate his bites, but it was pretty cute watching him try to eat the banana and figure out how it all worked. :)

Playing with Books

I let Luke have free reign over this once shelf of his board books, and he discovered that he can open and turn the pages on this Bible book all by himself! The cover is larger than the pages, so he can open it easier than other board books (which he really can't do at all yet). And then, once it's open, the pages loosen from each other a little easier than on other books. He was quite entertained!

Cruising Around

Luke does a great job cruising from thing to thing. He situates his feet and makes sure he's balanced on the new item before making the move over. Yeah, Luke!
