Luke has been keeping me on my toes!

it just seems like he's been growing in milestones by the second! everyday is something new. he's now fully crawling (and FAST!), is getting into EVERYTHING (drawers, baskets, cabinets, countertops, pretty much anything within reach). he so not into nursing these days, would much rather get down to play and explore. he nurses for a few minutes, at best, and then fights to get up and down from my lap so i just let him be. i'm thinking this is why, though, he's waking every night around 12-1 a.m. to nurse, he's not getting enough during the day. i'm cutting him some slack since his top two central incisors are coming in and it can't be helping matters (poor baby). but check out what he did yesterday morning while i was making his breakfast (i was in the kitchen while he was playing in the living room).

by the time i realized, "hey, it's pretty quiet in there..." this is what i had to pry out of his little chubby hands! he ATE part of his baptismal invitation! i had this one specially printed in a 4x6 for his baby book, left it out on the ottoman (along with the baby book) so i could work on putting it in the album, and he ATE it! the pieces were no where to be found! i gave him a little scolding (though it was completely my fault for leaving him alone) and he replied with the biggest, cutest gummy grin! of course i wanted to laugh and smile but i didn't, lol, didn't want to send mixed messages. needless to say, breakfast preparation this morning was spent playing on the kitchen floor.

so yeah, he's just into everything, giving mommy a good run for her money. gone are the days when i could leave him playing on the floor for a few moments! i even sit him in front of the restroom while i go now (sorry - tmi)!!

here are a few snapshots taken over the past few days. these are the pics that are going to trigger memories years down the road ;) i just love my curious little boy!
