I started putting Lukas in the Walk-Around Stationary Walker (AKA The Not-a-Walker) when he was two months old so that he would have some different scenery while went off to do things for Sophia. Unlike his sister, he actually likes the not-a-walker. Lukas was exactly three months and one week old when he began reaching out for things, and already in his first attempts, he’s showing that he’s all boy. The first thing he reached out to was the sparkly blue cloth waterspout of the whale on his not-a-walker and tore some of the blue sparkly off.
He still doesn’t have full control of his hands. He’ll stare at them as if they’re separate entities from himself, and occasionally they actually become sentient and reach up and pull his pacifier out of his mouth. One time he actually became mad about this and was frustrated that the mean hands wouldn’t put the pacifier back in his mouth.
