Lukeydoodle Turns 10 Months, gets 2 teeth, and LEARNS TO CRAWL!!

So the last week or so has been quite eventful for my little man. He has had two bottom teeth and one top left lateral incisor, but in the past week, he got a bottom right lateral incisor and his left front top tooth came in. The right front top tooth is going to pop through any day. He has also gotten much more mobile. His "crawl" is sort of an army crawl still, but he is definitely figured out how to get from place to place. Tonight I was making dinner and he cruised into the kitchen and pulled all the Tupperware out of the bottom drawer. Baby proofing here I come! I ordered a gate for the top of the stairs and with no time to spare.

Summer is quickly escaping us, it is actually quite cold tonight. I love the fall, but I am going to miss the beach, the bike rides, the boat, and spending so much time in the yard. In two weeks, school is going to start and Malachi is going to be a first grader. I have mixed feelings about him starting school. On the one hand, he is so ready; he is an information sponge and loves to learn. On the other hand, I want my baby back. Having Luke reminds me of how much Kai has grown. He asked me to rock him to sleep tonight and he has to curl up to be in my arms now. It's definitely bittersweet.

Tomorrow is our last tee ball game. Malachi seems to have enjoyed it, although we haven't figured out how to get him to focus while he is there. I am just glad that he wants to do it, I think it is really good for him to learn how to be a part of a team.

I have been feeling rather domestic with Chad being home in the evenings and weekends. I am trying to make dinner every night, make all of Luke's baby food, and get us to sit together as a family. Tonight, I started what I want to be a tradition for us. I asked Malachi to tell me his "high" and "low" points of the day and asked him to tell me one nice thing he did for someone else. I want him to get in the habit of telling me each of these things every night. Tonight, he said his "high" was getting one of his stuffed animals, Sarge, back and his "low" was not getting to build his castle outside. (He was reading his book and didn't come out with me when I was out there). The nice thing he did for someone was not getting mad at Grayson when he knocked over Malachi's lincoln log building. Eh, we'll get there.
I'll post some new pictures later, I am too lazy to go out to the car to get the camera.
