No Sitting Still for Us!

Luke is definitely on the move at all times! He does not like sitting still and wants to explore everything. This is so fun to watch, but has resulted in several bumps and bruises over the past week. A few days ago I walked into the kitchen to make Luke's bottle. He was right at my feet and then I turn around and see him standing on the second step of our stairs! I freaked out and ran to get him. When his daddy got home he wanted to test it out, and sure enough Luke crawled all the way to the top. Needless to say we now have a gate at the top and bottom of the stairs. Luke has also been loving his new walker that Tula and Pop gave him. It has a fun activity board on the front that he can't get enough of. Luke has been using it to walk all over and his balance is getting much better. He is even standing for up to 30 seconds without holding on to anything. I don't think it will be long before this boy is walking on his own.

Climbing on top of boxes is fun too!

He also enjoys knocking over the stacking cups. Brian will make 2 towers on either side of the room and Luke will crawl back and forth over and over just knocking them over. He always has a smile on his face like he is so proud he was able to knock it over.

With all this moving and shaking it makes for one tired little man.

This week we were also able to hang out with the ladies. Here is an updated diaper picture. Ellie and Kate sure are catching up.

We went to the Dallas Arboretum with Ellie and Kate on Tuesday. We enjoyed a lovely picnic and the weather was gorgeous. Luke loved being outside and the grass was so soft he was able to crawl everywhere. (Oh and in the pic below you can see one of those bruises I mentioned earlier on his cheek)

Luke and Ellie were mesmerized by a bird in the grass.

Here is Ellie and Kate with their mom, Tori. They turned 6 months old this week.

We had a great time walking around looking at all the flowers. Luke did have a meltdown because he was so tired. He finally gave in though and took his much needed nap. I wonder what new things next week will bring...
