Luke's Diary: 10 Months
Hi Mommy's Blog Readers!
We turned 10 months old last week, and today Mommy said I could tell you about what we've been up to the past month!
Lots of back-and-forth to Grammy and Grandpa's...we're trying to get as much visiting in as we can before we move to Albuquerque! (But Mommy says we'll still see Grammy and Grandpa all the time, so not to worry.) Grandpa always bounces me up and down on his knee all the time and says, "Hey Luke, want to ride to Texas?" Mommy says Albuquerque is on the way to Texas, so I already feel like I know where I'm going!
I'm big on pacifiers all of a sudden. (After having no previous interest at all in them.) Sissy could care less.
Grandma Charlotte was here over Christmas...she's so fun to play with. And Mommy says she's going to move to Albuquerque with us...we are so excited!
My new thing is I loooooooooove the dishwasher! Sissy does too, but not as much. I like to climb inside it if Mommy will let me. She's always hurrying to get everything out, especially the glass things. I don't see why, I'd be more than happy to help!
Here are some pictures of us playing at Grammy and Grandpa's:
Mommy can't carry us both downstairs any longer, so when we wake up from naps or in the morning, one of us will wait in the crib while Mommy takes the other downstairs. We are both pretty patient:
Here are a couple early-morning pictures of Sissy. She is standing on her own lots, and even took a couple steps for Daddy while Mommy was out of town! (Mommy's friend Kim said that that happened because Sissy missed Mommy and was trying to find her.) I don't really stand on my own or walk yet, but I do cruise all over the place holding on to furniture or my scooter.
Speaking of us being mobile, apparently something HAD to be done to keep us off the stairs, although I don't see why, both me and Sissy are EXPERT stair climbers! Mommy and Daddy went to the home improvement store and got wood and white plastic lattice and Daddy made an L shape that fits over the bottom 3 stairs and gets bungee-corded into place. Mommy says it's good to have an engineer husband. They call it the "Baby Stopper 5000."
And here are some pictures of me patting my dog Dexter, and playing with the little scooter Grandma Charlotte got us for Christmas. Oh and by the way, I've REALLY started talking. At the beginning of the month I was more making clicking sounds...Mommy said I was probably a dolphin in another life. Now my thing is making really animated ascending "hut" sounds that make everyone laugh and imitate me. I've also started doing some things with vowels and consonants like Sissy has been doing.
And here are some pictures of us with Daddy. He's still with us every day, but not for long because he got a really good job! That last picture is Daddy helping me drink sparkling cider to celebrate! We'll still see him in the evenings and on weekends...we'll have sooooooooooo much fun on the weekends. We will miss him, though. Mommy said we are so lucky to have had our first 11 months with him and that most babies don't get that so I am trying to be grateful and not sad. Anyhow, now I can brag about how my daddy works for Sandia National Labs doing all sorts of cool national security stuff! I hope me and Mommy and Sissy get to visit him at work! That will be fun!
So that's it! Everything is great as always around here!
Love,
Luke
