HE'S GROWING TOO FAST!!

lukas is now 9 months and crawling all over the place. exploring is his favorite past time right now. he crawls around the house and finds all the little leftover foods laying on the kitchen floor under the cabinets, all the little specks of dirt from people's shoes, and of course bothering his big brother by trying to play with his toys, no matter which room he tries to hide them in.


recently he's taken up extreme sports. he's figured out that he can stand by pulling himself up. no big deal, right? that's completely normal for a little guy his age. well, along with the standing, he's figured out how to crawl up the stairs, one step at a time. the other day i caught grandpa sitting on the stairs cheering lukas on while he painstakingly put one hand on the stair, then the other hand, then one knee, then the other knee, until he had successfully crawled up the entire flight of stairs without any help at all. it took about 15 minutes for him to do that. also, the entire time he was trying to concentrate on the task at hand, jeriah was doing his best to distract him by running up the stairs and then sliding down on his tummy, over and over again. he thought that was the funniest thing to do at the time. i'm sure jeriah was thinking that if lukas falls down it wouldn't be his fault. he didn't touch him.


here is a cute pic of him doing his standing thing...
