I can't believe it- Our baby boy is 16 months old. Here is a summary of what he is up to...

- Saying tons! New words- snack, shape, bam (banana), snow, puffs, cookie

-He gives sweet little hugs. At night when I am putting him to bed, I get lots.

-He can find his belly button.

-He closes the dishwasher door when I roll in the cart.

-He turns on the water for his bath.

-Luke is officially off the bottle. He did very well during the transition.

-He takes one nap a day- usually about 1 hour and a half.
-He sleeps from about 8:15-7:30- sometimes longer.

-Luke wears 18 month clothes and size four diapers.
-He eats just about everything, but really focuses his attention on bread!

-He is walking really well. He can go pretty fast now.

-Climbing has started!

-Electronics are his true love- cell phones, computers, cameras, anything!

-He will watch short Sesame Street video clips.

-He loves, loves, loves to dance! It is super cute.

-Luke has nine teeth. - four on the top front, one breaking through way in the back, and four on the bottom front.

-He still loves to brush his teeth- which will make his Aunt Rachel proud!

-Luke is starting to get quite opinionated!

Happy Valentine's Day!

We had a busy Valentine's Day! To end it, we went to Brick Oven with my mom. Supper was great! Luke had a banana- his new favorite besides bread- excuse the mouth open while eating, he was laughing! Luke socialized tons with quite a few people. I think he will be our governor one day.

Big Steps

Luke's first order at Dixie Cafe- macaroni, applesauce, green beans, milk, and of course- bread.

Tonight was the first night my baby has gone to sleep without a bottle. He was asleep by 8:34. Pretty good considering the big transition.

My Baby and My Grandpa

I love these pictures. The rocking chair that Luke is sitting in is my grandfather's father's chair. He loves it! How cool is that?

Relaxing with Natalie

Last Saturday, we went to Jake and Natalie's. Bryce, Heidi, and Ava came over too. Luke and Ava played together. They started going to the same babysitter last week. It was sweet to see how they interact. We stayed pretty late. Luke was so ready to go that he went and sat in front of the door and then got in Ava's carseat.

Eating Muffins

Looking at the snow and saying, "Snow." It is so cute.

A little reading

This is a summary of our second snow day of the week. It has been wonderful! I was on my way to work when it was called off, so I happily returned home. We had a great day. It was too slick to get out, so we just played and relaxed!

Snow Day Fun

We had a snow day on Monday! The snow just covered the grass, not the roads. It was beautiful! We were able to get out for lunch, but then just chilled out the rest of the day.
