I took Luke to the nursery when we got to church yesterday. He doesn't like the nursery, so he hasn't been there much recently. I stood him on the floor next to a big basket full of toys, and attempted to extract my clothes...neck...hair...face... from his frantic grasp while pointing out some colorful noisemakers to distract him. He wasn't buying it. When I started to back away, Luke reached out his arms toward me and took a tiny step in my direction!
Luke has been standing on his own quite well for about 2 weeks now, and will stand up from a squatting position if I am above him, ready to pick him up. He loves walking when holding onto our fingers. But we thought his first unsupported step would still be at least a month away.
Luke has taken three more steps since then, but we haven't managed to document them yet.

Wow!! Way to go Luke! Heather and Jared, you have a smart and coordinated kid. He throws a ball well too, able to accurately throw it my direction most of the time.
Git yer camera ready!! Zoom-Zoom!!! Off he goes! Aiden will be most impressed, Taylor will be happy and Luke will finally be able to ‘run away!’ Granddaddy & Weemama are jazzed!! :)
Nana says, "Yay Luke!" clap-clap-clap
