Big Walker!!






Hi Luke!

You are SO MUCH FUN right now!!! Let me tell you what you are up to these days!! First of all-- you are walking-- all by yourself!!! Each day you take more and more steps by yourself and today you just blew daddy & I away with how bold you are getting!! You continue to be a big ball of fun -- you laugh and smile all the time and we just think you are the best little guy!

A couple days ago, mommy was carrying you around the house (you love to be carried, by the way!) and as I was walking, I kicked your little soccer ball around the house and said "kick" every time I kicked the ball. Well-- the very next day when you were doing "walkies" with daddy holding your hand-- you kicked the ball over and over again!! Good job, Lukey!!!!

You and mommy go to music class on Thursday and we both have so much fun. The class is taught by a wonderful lady named Musiic and she is all sunshine and smiles and she lets you crawl on her lap as she strums her guitar. All the other babies are sitting on their mommy's laps -- but, Lukey-- you have things to do and there is no time for sittin'!! In class, we sing a song that goes "open, shut them-- open, shut them-- give a little clap, clap, clap" and as we sing the song, we open and close our hands. Guess who knows how to "open, shut them and clap, clap"!!!? YOU do! And-- you know when to do them-- so cool!

You also dance when music comes on the stereo. One of daddy's paintings is above the stereo in our living room and when the music comes on, you look at the painting. We think that you think the music comes from the painting!!!

Another fun trick you do now is stick out your tongue when we say "Where's your tongue?" The funny thing is-- you stick out your tongue when we say "Where's your ear"! You are so silly!

It's so hard to believe that in 22 days you are going to be 1 YEAR OLD!! Gosh, baby, time goes so fast! I wish I could slow things down so I can hold you and dance with you around the house forever. Such special moments-- each moment with you is! Who is the luckiest mommy in the world? I AM!!!

Lukey-- you are love-- big, big love and I adore you so so much!!

Love,

Mommy
