Learning and Growing

Due to our recent move things have been a little hectic in my life but I am here and this post may be a little long and/or may consist more of pictures then writing but here goes.

So we have had an eventful summer exploring all the things that you normally do during these warm months. Lucas had his first trip to the county fair and got his first glimpse at larger animals i.e cows, sheep etc.

As I mentioned we recently moved and the little guy had had an adventurous time exploring his new surroundings as he now as more space to roam and a room of his own. (Mom is glad about this one as he now sleeps through the night.)

As he is now almost 2 months older since the last post he has definitely grown! He just had his 9 month check and still right on track for growth. He is crawling with the speed of a baby cheetah and attempting to walk with no success. Although he can walk back and forth with support such as the couch etc. and can stand with no support for about a minute and a half max. at one time. Although if you try to get him to stand he refuses and plops down on his bum.

(Standing, I was lucky to catch it on film. This ended up being the longest he has stood so far)

(Happy boy! Loves to pose for the camera!)

As he is 9 months old and has a love for learning and exploring I do my best do remember that when he's being destructive or getting into things he shouldn't. To no avail although he has numerous toys, of course he loves daddy's video consoles with the lights and buttons better.

He is extremely tactile and loves to taste everything. He has recently started chewing on things more do to his teething. One of his favorite things to do is sit on or in things. I recently walked into our office and found him sitting in a plastic drawer just big enough to fit his little bum and legs. I laughed hysterically and had to take a picture because it was just about the cutest thing ever.

I'm amazed at what he comes up with. I love the anticipation of what his little exploring mind will find. I can't wait for more fun!
