Growing up!


We missed our Lukie guy so much while we were gone in Europe. We took a couple pictures of him the morning before we left and kept them on our camera so we could look at him any time we wanted while we were there, here are a couple of them...

Even though we missed him so much we knew he was having lots of fun with his grandma and grandpa Bagley and that he was getting so much attention and love, so it was all okay!

While we were gone my parents and fam taught him some pretty cool new tricks like...throwing a ball, putting the rings on the plastic ring toy stick (not sure what it's called!), hitting a button on a toy to make it spin, and hitting the sweeky santa on his santa book so it will make noise!

Since we've been home, it seems like he's been learning new things everyday. I swear he is growing and learning so much right now, it's so fun. He is at such a fun age.

The other day Luke took his first steps! Since then, every day he practices his steps a little more. I think the most steps he's done in a row so far is 4. He can stand up in the middle of a room with nothing to hold onto and lower himself down too. When he stands up like that he just starts smiling so big and you can tell he is so pround of himself. He stands, takes some steps, and usually ends up plopping down on his tush. I'm sure he'll be walking pretty soon here!

He is also learning the concept of putting things away or at least putting things back where they came from. He likes to rip my newly folded landry out of the baskets and them put them back in. Yesterday he dumped out some garbage from a garbage basket (it was just a few peices of paper so it wasn't gross garbage) and then put the peices back in, and he is so proud of himself!
He is so fun and learning so much everyday! It's so fun but then also kind of sad, my little boy is growing up so quick!

Halloween!


Here are our Halloween pictures! As you can tell Luke was a cute tiger. Around Halloween we started doing the "rrrawwrrr" sound to him gearing him up for his tiger outfit. He started doing it back to us just in time for Halloween! Now he still likes to do it but now he adds some spunk to it by also clenching his fists while he does it! It's pretty funny! He especially does it when he's either frustrated or excited.

Halloween, with the cutest tiger ever! :)
