One

Luke Michael, today you are ONE YEAR OLD!

I tried so hard to get a picture of you this morning but every single one was super blurry- why? Because you are constantly one the move! You are still a ridiculously fast crawler and have no interest in walking. You cruise some (especially if I strategically place Cheerios along the side of the ottoman!) and will take steps while pushing your walker- but you don't bend your knees, so it's a challenge. You are quick to drop down and crawl to get what you want!

At this point you take two formula bottles a day (morning and night) and drink whole milk with breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner. You'll also gulp down a cup of water throughout the day. You love "ham seasoned" green beans, cheese, breads, fruit, and pizza, although you will really eat everything we put in front of you. At the moment you get really excited over Baby Goldfish and yogurt melts.

Over the past month you are more intentional when you are playing. You love to push cars down the ramp on your garage, stack cups in the bathtub, stack your Playschool gears, and are great at cleaning up. It's so cute watching you put your brother's Legos back in the container! You've also started to hide your face behind something when playing peek-a-boo, which is just precious!

You love your Mommy and Daddy- but it's your big brother that holds a special place in your heart. You love watching him and trying to do what he does. You love to wake him up from a nap and wrestle with him in his bed. You also really, really love when he talks, sings, or makes noises at you- you crack up!

Happy, happy, happy birthday, Luke!

We love you to the moon and back!
