My first set of wheels!

Grandma Mehl stayed with us for a few days after Luke's Birthday and she spoiled him a ton before she left. She bought him his first push car and he is already busy picking up chicks around town. (Nevermind that the chicks have to ride in the trunk :) The car has a cup holder and he has become quite obsessed with it. He takes his sippy cup out and gets a sip of his drink, puts it back into the cupholder and looks up at us with a big cheesey grin. Apparently he is impressed with himself each time he does this and when we giggle at him it just encourages him to do it again ...and again...and again! Oh well, he's a well hydrated little boy these days!

He is starting to talk more and more and the babbling is slowly turning into words. He said "ball" this weekend when our friend Dave handed him a ball, so we were all excited. Ah, the little things :) He is also taking about 5-10 steps at a time, but he needs to be coaxed into doing it. He can definitely walk, but he knows he can get around faster if he crawls. In some ways, I can't wait for him to walk and in others, it scares me. But, he's going to walk someday and I am guessing he will stay a little cleaner on his feet than on his knees.
