Birthday Boy

Happy Birthday (yesterday) to our baby! I can't believe he is one already. Disclaimer on this photo: the scab by his eye is from Sutton...he did it on accident and cried when he realized he hurt his brother. Poor Luke...I think when he gets older he is going to be a pro at wrestling. He already tries to get in on the action!

All of my boys have the best eyelashes...I love Luke's eyes, and his cute "toothy" smile. Oh, and the cheeks with dimples...those are yummy! We have two family parties this weekend to celebrate our little man, but yesterday we did a few things as well. We took him to get his first donut...got him some donut holes. He liked them, but he was acting sluggish. Then we went to swim class for Sutton and Luke was cranky the whole time. I realized later he was getting a fever and that his ear infections were coming back. So, he spent the second half of his birthday napping in his crib. But, we'll make up for it this weekend.

Luke is almost walking...he crawls around everywhere, and he does it quickly. He loves to pull up to stand on anything. He babbles and says a few words. He says "dada". I will ask him to say "mama" and he will say back "dada". He thinks it is funny and we do it over and over again...

Luke loves his brothers, and they love him. Lately both Sus and Max will pick him up by the armpits, from behind, and walk him somewhere. It's quite dangerous, and I have asked them to stop, but it's also cute to see them trying to care for their little brother.

He is in the 30th (ish) percentile for both weight and height. I kind of like that at this stage of his life, he is small. Helps me not to be so sad that my baby is growing up!

Happy Birthday Lukie! We love you!!!
