My Little Man

It has been a fairly eventful month for my little man, Luke.

He has four teeth now (two on top and two on bottom).

He started what I call Commando Crawling at the beginning of April (he propels himself forward using mostly his arms and the tips of his toes while the rest of his body stays low to the ground). He is getting the hang of the more conventional hands-and-knees crawling, but he still seems to favor the Commando style. It must be a boy thing! He doesn't stay on his knees very long but he sure is one fast little bugger now. He really moves! It'll be fun in the coming months as he learns to walk.

Which probably isn't too far off considering his new favorite thing is to Commando his way to anything low enough for him to grab onto and pull himself to standing.




He hasn't started cruising yet, but he loves to stay and sort of sway from side to side or do this foot tapping thing while holding on for balance. It's cute.



(Really, Mom? Can you just put the camera down?)



And the other new development in Luke's life is his new haircut. Both of my children have been relatively bald compared to their peers. Audrey didn't have her first hair cut until she was almost two years old! Luke's hair was by no means long, just sort of wispy in awkward places - like right above his ears.

The Before:


(you expect me to smile after you say my hair looks awkward?!)





And the After:







It's kind of like a deer-in-the-headlights fist pump, but I'll take it!
