The 12-Month Stats

Luke had his 12-month doctor's appointment today and all is well.


He weighed in at 26lbs 13oz, which dropped him to the 95%. But for height he is still over the top of the curve at 32.5"!


He is going to be a tall, skinny guy!

The Birthday Cake Photos

Monday was Luke's birthday, of course!
Here are the birthday cake photos.

Mommy and Daddy are very proud.

Such a charming little devil.
He reaches for the cake. I am worrying about where this is going to end.

His first taste of the sweet sweet chocolate and he is back for more.

This time he really digs in . . .
. . . and shoves the cream filling in his mouth.
The beginning of the end.
This baby went straight into the bath.
Order is restored.

Luke Is One Year Old!

On March 16, 2009, Luke will be one year old! I couldn't wait until tomorrow to post, so here are some photos from the last few days.

Here he is having fun in the push car that Aunt Tara gave him!
In celebration of Luke's birthday and because Grandma and Grandpa Siorek are visiting us, the whole family went to the Oregon coast this weekend.
Luke watching Elmo videos on YouTube.
I believe this is the one where Elmo helps Grover say the Alphabet.

A trio of nice photos from Grandma Siorek.



Luke reading one of his favorite books, Yummy Yucky.

Pushcart

Today Luke became the proud owner of a little pushcart from Ikea. He loves to walk with the push cars at Day Care, but we didn't have anything like that for him at home. He will only walk by himself if he is holding on to something.
He was so excited. He cruised around the house giving rides to his stuffed friends.

He didn't stop until we told him it was time to get ready for bed.

Even after he got into his jammies, he had to get some last laps around the house. Look at how tired he is, but he still wants to push his cart! We literally had to pry the cart from his hands to put him to bed.
Here is a video I cobbled together from a few different clips. Watch the face that Luke makes when he bumps into the wall with the cart. The expression of annoyance is surprisingly grown up.
