10 months!

The last 10 months have flown by and now we have a not-so-little "baby" who is about ready to venture out on his own two feet WITHOUT our help!

The picture below seemed to sum him up pretty well at this age- note the dirt goatee-- he found some by the door and ate it.  He eats more table food than baby food and wants whatever the rest of us are having whether it is food, toys, books, etc... He is into everything these days and is quite active!  Lucas is a snuggle bug; he hugs and smiles and laughs with us so freely- he is a bundle of joy!

 A picture from Lucas's sink bath the other night- the LAST he'll ever have-- this little guy is way too wild for such a small "tub", but this reminded me one of myself so I thought I'd share both...

 Lucas prefers to walk holding onto us or some other structure with just one hand.  As of about one week ago we have observed him taking 1-2 steps unassisted now and then before falling.  He is certainly not afraid of walking and if desire was all it took, he'd be running by now!  
A few recent videos of him moving around...
