Duke is 45 Weeks Old & Has Taken His First Steps!

A big accomplishment for Duke this week - he started walking!!!  On a sad note, lots of mom's photos got lost :(  Due to an update gone bad all her photos going back to May got deleted - but she had most of them backed up so just lost a week worth of photos.  However due to Facebook she could download a few to share with you.  Besides the big first steps the end of the week Duke took a trip to Sea Life at the Mall of America to visit some fish!  At first Duke was very frightened!  Mom had to take a break after the first 10 minutes for a early lunch break but after the 2nd attempt he felt right at home with the fish and loved standing up on the glass and looking at them swim right by!  Take a look at this week's fun, sorry sooo short but lots ahead as he is about to turn 11 Months old this Sunday.

How about food for Duke - duke is eating lots of string cheese, bread, crackers, puffs, yogurt and plenty of pureed food.  He will eat pretty much anything you put in front of him.  Mom has steamed carrots and he loves those.  He has eaten pasta mom has made but only likes it the first time around, left overs don't seem to be a favorite.

Nothing like a little afternoon nap

Yup Duke still loves to be put in a box, so we thought we'd see if Jet likes it too.

Duke reading his book ;)

Enjoying bath time with dad

Loving his cups again

Both Duke and Jet playing with their toys.

Duke loves to look through the gate going downstairs - he also loves to open and close it.  Duke loves to close and open any door theses days.  We almost lost him when he closed himself in a room ;)  So curious about how they open and close!

These are photos from the Sea Life at MOA

Playing with the glass as the fish swim by.

Trying to be as tall as him.....it will come with time.

Mom is amazed with how much Duke is starting to stretch and thin out - his arms seem so long these days to her.
