Lucas is getting so smart. It is fun to watch him figure things out. He knows where things go now. You can ask him about things and you can see he understands. If I ask the dogs, "Do you want to go out?," Lucas runs to the front door to help let them out. When he is starting down the stairs, he thinks he can do it standing up. If you tell him, "Sit down," he knows what that means, and he sits to go down the stairs. When we put Stitch in the kennel, Lucas knows that the dog gets a treat, so he goes to the laundry room where the treats are. Then I give the treat to Lucas, and he drops it into the dog kennel. He is not talking yet, but he makes a "ba" sound sometimes when we we are leaving. He also says "ma ma ma ma ma" and "da da da da da," but I don't think he know exactly what he means. He can climb onto his little swing set now, so he can go down the slide by himself. He has finally figured out how to climb up and sit on his rocking horse, although he was determined to stand on it first. He loves to push buttons. He turns the TV on and adjusts the volume. He pushes the page button on the cordless phone's base. This is all pretty simple stuff, but it is amazing to see him figuring it all out.
