Pumpkin Patch

Update

Ok, I know it's been well over a month since I've posted! This is my busiest time of year with work and I've been a bit overwhelmed. Add to that, I finally gave in a joined facebook, I haven't had much time to make new posts. I know, excuses excuses...

Luke is learning new things daily! He officially is walking and prefers doing that to crawling now! He eats all foods and loves all the typical kid favorites, pizza, mac n'cheese, cheese... He is finally sleeping through the night, 8:00pm-7:30am and mommy and daddy are thrilled! He also is on a great nap schedule (finally) and again, I couldn't be more thrilled! He says up, hot, light, and babbles like crazy. He says mama and dada and just within the past few days associates those words with us. He blows kisses, waves, and will mimick (or try his best to) any gestures you make. He knows the motions to the itsy-bitsy spider song and will mouth the words (letters) to the abc song! It's truly amazing the rate in which babies learn and grow!

Luke loves his nanny who spends 20 hours a week with him. She is absolutely wonderful and teaches Luke so much! Ben and I are blessed that we have Aom in our life and so is Luke!

I don't really have many new pictures to post, but I will take some new ones for next weeks post!

Update

I know it has been over a month since I've uploaded new pictures. It has been a very busy month!

Luke is walking all around the house using furniture, walls, his high chair, and toys for support. He has learned to wave, play patty cake, and give high fives. He had his 9 month check up a few weeks ago and is 29 inches long (a little tall for his age) and 20.6 lbs (average for his age). He is full of personality!

Update

Luke officially started crawling on 5/22 he had been scooting for about 1-2 weeks prior to that. Soon after learning to crawl he began pulling himself up on things. Now he is starting to walk along items, like the couch, bed and between the kitchen chairs. He babbles a lot saying bababa, mamama, dadada, and papapa. He likes to blow raspberries on arms, legs, really anywhere that there is bare skin he will blow raspberries. He is a very happy baby! We are very blessed!

Luke has learned how to climb up the stairs and how to open and close drawers. He is such a quick learner!

Caboose Park!

Last weekend we took Luke on his first trip to the playground. He loved looking around at all the kids and all the playground equipment. He got to go on the baby swing all by himself, Ben took him on the "big kids" swing and we both took him down the different slides. We all had a blast!

Happy Father's Day!

Here are some new pictures of Luke! He loved spending father's day with his daddy. He had a surprise visit from his Pop and enjoyed playing in his alligator pool! Happy Father's Day to all!

Luke Carl...

Missy's Graduation!

Luke and Melany

Luke absolutely adores his best friend Melany! If Mel walks into the room, Luke is captivated. Mel doesn't pay much attention to Luke and prefers that he not touch her. But Mel comes running when Luke is crying and comes in every night when we put Luke to bed to say goodnight! In these pictures Mel was outside waiting for someone to let her in, Luke was looking out for her :0)

New Pics!

Luke's new ride!
