Top 10 ways to make baby Luke smile

(Based on extensive research conducted by Mama, Daddy, Eleanor and Amanda)

10. Turn him upside down (Daddy does this).
9. Let him crawl on you.
8. Show him a tub of water (he took his first "big boy" bath today, on purpose, not accidentally)
7. Go through a doorway from a big room into a hallway (especially one with an EXIT sign: I think this was his favorite part of the apple festival).
6. Bang on a table with him.
5. Show him the baby in the mirror.
4. Say a funny word (Eleanor had him in stitches the other day with "bugaboo").
3. Play "peek-a-boo" with him.
2. Tickle him behind his knees, under his chin, or on his feet.
1. Smile at him. He will almost always smile back, often with a much bigger smile than you gave to him.

I realized today that when Eleanor was this age, she slept about 10-11 hours total every day. Luke sleeps about 13, more when he can get it. What a huge difference.
