Big Boy!

Luke LOVES to sit in the "real" chairs at the kitchen table. You can tell he just "feels so big!" He still eats in his high chair (thankfully!!), but I'm sure some day he will graduate to the "real" chairs to eat. It's really cute and he always has the biggest smiles for us.

20 Months Old!

Luke is officially 20 months old. He is such a fun loving little toddler. We absolutely LOVE hanging out with him. Lately, he has several new tricks. First, he gets in a position on the floor that looks like he's about to do a somersault; I don't know if they do this at his school or not, but all he needs is a little push, and he would do a complete 360. He also likes to turn on the music on the radio in our bedroom. Once he gets it on, you can't stop him from dancing. His favorite foods are still cheese, yo-baby, crackers of all types, and he REALLY likes chicken. He loves to read and can say so many more words and likes to point to the pictures. His favorite new word is, "belly button". It's so cute when he says it and then points to his own belly button. Luke also says "choo-choo" with intonation for train. It's really funny! He also likes to give Libby, our cat, a kiss! GROSS!! I better get used to it, since he's a boy. This is only the beginning, I'm sure!

Luke keeps us on our toes as he is constantly exploring everything and is very curious about his world. Happy 20 Months!

Overalls

My little baby is growing up so much! Luke is wearing his overalls in this picture, which is really quite amazing, because every time he wears them, he cries. I think they are too scratchy for him; I'm really not sure. But, he doesn't seemed to be too bothered in these pics! Enjoy!

The Spoon and Other Eating Adventures

Luke has really taken control of his spoon when he eats now. He loves to feed himself with his spoon that his great,great-aunt made. (I actually ate with it when I was a baby.) This "silver" spoon is not pictured here above. I will have to get a snap-shot of the spoon. It's really quite a mess, but he is doing a great job learning! Mommy just has to clean up A LOT more now :)

Beauty!

I cannot tell you how much I love this time of year when the temperatures rise. It has been in the 70s the last couple of days, and except for the terrible Mt. Cedar pollen, I have loved it! It is always so thrilling to me when my bulbs (crocus and daffodils) decide it's their time to bloom. It really makes my day - and it's free - they just keep coming back year after year for my pure enjoyment! It's the little things that make me smile. It's in the little things that I think God tries to show himself to us. Sometimes we get so busy, we miss it (Him). Thanks LORD for the hope of spring around the corner and for more surprises each and every day!

19 MONTHS OLD!

Luke is 19 months old! WOW! Time flies! He has been doing so well. He enjoys running (literally) around the house and playing with his toys. He has been eating well and sleeps great! He loves to read books with mama and dada. He has a great time at "school" each week with his teachers and friends. He also loves going to church each Sunday. He has been trying to say more and more words each week. His favorite words to say are light and ball. He also makes a really funny noise, I can't even describe it, but it's his word for music. It sounds nothing like "music" but we finally know what it means! He asks us to turn on the music in his room, in the family room, and in the car. It's too funny!

Just a few new pics....

Here's a couple of new pics of Luke....

Enjoy!
