Ten month update

Luke's up to 18 lbs. 4 oz. When he wants you to pick him up he crawls to you, then, balancing on just his torso, he lifts his arms and legs off the floor and flaps them up and down giving you the signal. Today he added a foot tickle. He was cracking me up when he started scratching the top of my bare foot trying to get my attention.

He likes to take his toys over to the tile floor in the kitchen. He bangs them on the floor or drops them to see what they'll do. It was funny to watch him do this experiment with a sock and discover that it didn't make or sound or do anything.

He's also been really loud lately and has started making some sounds that involve blowing. It can get kind of messy if he does this while he's eating. He's also started trying to suck his thumb in the middle of meal time. I guess sometimes he just has to take a break to get in a little thumb suck.

On Monday we sent him to daycare with his shoes. Since he's been crawling around he's been coming home with a dirty foot so the shoes should help with that. Notice how dirty the bottom of his shoes are after just one day. Yes, this is what his foot looked like most days and we were calling him little Blackfoot. I did catch him sticking a foot in his mouth on the way home. Nice.
