Luke's Latest Tricks

Throwing

Luke has learned that his ball popper balls are good for more than popping out of that machine. As some of you have seen in some of the previous posts, first they were good for picking up two at a time - which was fun, until our little Newton discovered that watching them drop from his hands was even better than just holding them. And now the fun has evolved to throwing. Sadly, his new catch and release program, makes keeping up with the balls much more of a headache though. We started off this phase with 8 balls, and we are down to 4. Every once and a while, Luke still sits down for a few songs, but the fact of the matter is, the ball popper has lost a bit of it's luster. But fear not, ball popper - we managed to crank out another kid who gets closer to enjoying you every day!

Walking


We are still a little wobbly, but well on our way to walking a blue streak around the Thomas house. We are so thrilled that our little guy is walking. Mommy is even more thrilled when Luke is walking and there is an extra set of hands around to catch him since about 80% of the day Mommy's hands are tied up with another wobbly family member - one who's head is wobbly, not his feet (yet ) ... (thank goodness!)

Drinking From a Moving Object

This video and title is pretty self explanatory. (Thanks, Uncle Bob, for the fab water activity table)

Watering The Flowers (or His Face)

DISCLAIMER: We did not start out, in the front yard, with a onsie and some socks and shoes, we gradually lost the pants over the course of the evening as they got progressively more soaked from the watering hose!) At first, he wasn't to sure about the water, but by the time 7:45 rolled around we had to peel him away from it. Water bug! (Like his mom!)
