ONE!!!

The birthday boy and his cake

Opening presents- Ella actually opened most of them

The handsome birthday boy

Trying to get pictures usually goes like this

He pulled Ella's paint off the table while i ran to the store and Stewart was watching them. Who knows how much he ate and then the rest he painted on the tile and table

Loves, loves to swim

A whole year has come and gone since our little man has joined our family. He is such a joy to have in our home and we all love him to death

At a year Luke:

- Takes two naps a day and still sleeps 12 hours a night (or more)

-Started walking at eleven months and now he hardly ever crawls (sad). His first steps were February 25th and there was no stopping him after that

-Busy, busy. He does everything with a smile on his face, like he knows he isn't supposed to be doing it but if he smiles he won't get into trouble.

- Chatters all day. He says: ball, dog, uh-oh, ruff ruff, ella, mom, and dad.

- Follows Ella everywhere

-Laughs and smiles all the time. He is very happy go lucky and I love it.

-Wearing 18-24 month clothes

- To say he loves balls is an understatement. He also loves cars and makes little car noises when he plays with them

-Loves to go to the park

-Loves to swim and have a bath. He has fallen in Ella's bath twice trying to get in when she is having a bath.

-Climbs on anything he can and has learned how to climb on the couch.

-Anytime a door or the fridge opens he rushes over to try and get everything or get to the toilet paper

-Likes to dance when he hears music

- Getting more hair, and I think it is going to be dark (maybe). It would be fun to have a dark haired child and blond child.

- Has had an ear infection for TWO months. Ugh. If it's not gone soon he might have to get tubes.

Stats: 26.2 pounds and 32.5 inches

We love you Lukers! You have brought so much joy to our lives.
