Our Little Walker

As April draws to a close and spring nears, Luke has been busy practicing his rapidly improving walking and swimming skills. His wobbly steps are now much more stable, although he still has the occasional stumble, usually when he's in a hurry. He loves to walk over to daddy while he's working, greet him with a smile and motion for 'uppy' so he can see what dad is up to on the computer. He's continuing with his swimming lessons and is doing great. He shows no fear and other than being distracted by all of the other people and babies around him, seems to be learning quickly.

He recently showed off some of his walking skills by crossing the finish line at the March for Babies last weekend to much applause from family and friends. Here's a video:

He also has 3 more teeth growing in, making his adorable smile even cuter and also seems to finally be getting some hair on the sides of his head growing in along with his new 'toothers'. We've been introducing him to more "big boy" food as often as we can like pasta, vegetables, bread (his favorite) and today he even tried some chicken and eggs. He's also starting to use the sign language gesture for "more" while we're feeding him which is cool to see. He's still working on the 'sippy' cup and doesn't quite grasp the concept yet, but in due time we're sure he'll have it mastered.

Our little boy is getting bigger by the day, we'll be sure to keep you all updated. Thanks for reading!
