My baby is 1!

I can't believe it has been a year since Luke was born.  It seems like it has just flown by.  The first few months after he arrived were hectic with Clayton finishing his Masters degree and gone or busy with school work a lot. 

He's such a happy baby...except for when he's not.  He has learned from the best (his big brother) how to throw a three-year old size temper tantrum when he doesn't get what he wants.  But when he does get it, he's all smiles.  His face just lights up a room.  Even his eyes smile.

And where he got it, we really don't know, but he's got the curliest hair.  Blonde curls all over his head.  It's funny to look back at pictures before it turned curly.  He doesn't look like the same little man.

He's walking like a crazy man now.  Almost running.  He started taking steps around Thanksgiving and by Christmas was moving around pretty well.  Now he's all over the place.  He only crawls to get to something to use to help him stand up, then away he goes.  And he's my climber!  He climbed into Andrew's rocking chair months ago.  A couple of weeks ago, I caught him climbing into the chair and up over the arm of the couch.  Man, I'm going to be in trouble.  He climbs on anything and everything he can.  I'm sure one of these days I'll find him on the fridge or something crazy. 

So, Happy Birthday, Little Luke!   We love having you in our home and in our family.  We are so blessed by you each and every day.  We Love You!
