Ahh Spring

Spring was so nice. I say was nice because as I look out my window it is snowing right now. But we were all getting a bit of cabin fever. Luke has loved just going out in the yard and crawling as far as he wants. He also seems to have developed a taste for Mel's mix (it is just a special mix of dirt for square foot gardens, but it sounds better than letting him eat dirt :) But this weekend we went to the part on Friday and found out that he LOVES it. He will go down the slide and clap at the end, and the swings well you see the video. So much fun we had to go back Saturday with Bry. You only get a glimplse of his laugh, but it is heavenly!

Up we go.

Today Luke crawled up a few stairs. Hooray... Oh oh. He has been sitting at the bottom of the stairs thinking about it for a days now (not the whole time, on and off :0) anyway finally he figured it out and took the plunge. It is so funny how one day he can't do something and then the next day all of the sudden he has it all figured out. He is amazing, kids are amazing. Now he has to learn how to go down. Presently he just sits down in the middle of the staircase.

No more smiles for the camera, all GQ

Luke has decided to stop smiling for the camera. I don't know if it is just that he is fascinated by it or what but he gets this face on every time the camera comes out... so funny.

Also he has started clapping. So he can now do the first portion of patty cakes. Now if I could just teach him that I am not Rapunzel.

Luke Crawls

Luke crawled for the first time. ( I cheated on the post date so that I could remember the day) He has been really close for a long time. But today he figured out how to get his legs out from under his body and cruise. Now he loves wrestling with Murphy. He is all boy!

Adrenaline Junkie

Valentines Day morning we awoke with a start, well a thud more like. Bryan knew right away what it was but I couldn't think for the life of me what that sound could have been. He rushed to the nursery, I followed. There was Luke...on the ground. We stopped screaming immediately when I picked him up. I guess he was just anxious to spend the holiday with us. But wow do kids this young normally jump out of their cribs? I'm wondering how he could do this if he couldn't even crawl. I always thought he was advanced but I'm not sure that this is the type of advanced we were going for :) So right away we moved his crib down to the lowest possible setting, and it looks more like a jail than a crib, but safety first. Just glad he was safe, and a little curious to see what the next trick will be.
