Every day it seems as though something has changed about Luke. Over the weekend (at apple festival) he finally cut his first tooth! It's the bottom left (I think...) and he's only been working on it since he was born (chewing, drooling, etc.) The other bottom middle one is coming in soon. I've officially missed another chance to take a baby to the photo studio for some toothless grins.
Also over the weekend we noticed that he had changed the way he talks. Earlier he would hold forth on a whole range of topics using mostly vowels, now he has added consonants (true to form, the first words were "Da da da da da!" He still isn't quite sure what he's saying, though.) He still is very talkative, and he and Amanda babble to each other in the back seat of the car.
The "magic with cheerios" I wrote about earlier is over: today he managed to get about 80% of the cheerios I put on his plate into his mouth on the first or second try. I saw him grabbing the cheerio with his right fist, then poking the cheerio closer to his thumb with his other hand. He appears to be right handed right now (I realize that it is too early to tell, but he does show a decided preference.) He also has a better idea of where the cheerios go when you drop them. It's fun to watch him change, but also a little sad to see the baby I knew disappear and a new baby appear in his place. Luke, of course, is thrilled with all his accomplishments, He's just waiting to walk...
