10 Months Old

Lucas is 10 months old today. He is getting so big! Here's some of the fun (and maybe not so fun) things he's been doing lately.

• He LOVES to read. He looks at books all by himself, and he sits on our laps and lets us read to him. He's always been a huge fan of books but lately it seems like he can't get enough.

• He is still sleeping through the night, now that we got daylight savings time and being sick out of the way.
• He is getting pretty good at throwing tantrums. Last night he had a melt down because daddy took a pen away. We have a little terror on our hands.
• He loves to shake everything (see video)
• He loves to play in the refrigerator and the dishwasher. He gets really mad if we close the refrigerator door before he has a chance to bolt over and get into it, which doesn't happen very often because he is getting to be very fast.
• He pushes everything around like a car - his toy cars, empty boxes of cereal, blocks, cell phones, remote controls ...
• He loves outside. He gets so excited whenever the door opens and really mad if you close it without taking him outside. He would stay outside all day long if he could and he doesn't seem to care about how cold it is.
  
  
• He is always talking non stop, mostly gibberish but we think we've heard a few mama's and dada's here and there. He makes the funniest noises, too (see video)
• He loves to crawl up the stairs at grandma and grandpa George's house. He hasn't quite gotten the hang of going back down again, but he's only tried it like 4 times, give him a few more tries and he'll be a pro. He's an expert at getting down off the couch, though.
• He also loves the puppies at his grandparent's house and he gets so excited when he sees them and tries so hard to play with them but they just aren't too sure about letting a baby poke their eyes.
• He loves to play peek-a-boo
• He can clap, but he does it with one hand open and the other a fist. It's pretty funny.
• He gives High Fives, but usually only when he's in his car seat.
• He loves to play in the bathtub, with or without water.
• He loves to throw stuff and have us pick it up for him.
• He is such a good eater, and he's pretty much eating the same foods as us now so I just make a little extra whenever I make a meal and just feed him the same stuff we're having. He had a grilled ham and cheese sandwich and bananas for lunch yesterday.

• He loves to crawl under or over stuff. If you're standing up he crawls between your legs. If you're laying on the ground, he likes to climb on top of your head.

• He loves to bang things together. I gave him this empty can as a drum and he LOVES it!

• And lastly he loves his daddy. He gets so excited when daddy comes home and refuses to play with anyone but daddy for an hour.

We love our little 10 month old.
