Today is Luke's first birthday and we don't know where the year has gone! It really seems like yesterday we were going to the hospital for Laura's induction. Time has gone by so quickly and we always seem to be running after someone in our house! We took him to the doctor's yesterday and he weighs 22 lbs 7 ozs and is 29.5 inches long, which is only the 50% for both. We have no idea how he doesn't weigh more than this considering all that he is able to eat on a daily basis! He got two shots today and cried for less than a minute. He really is a tough little guy! Unfortunetly, the doctor discovered he had the beginnings of an ear infection and was given antibiotics to knock it out of his system. The doctor said it could be a sign that more teeth are coming in. Overall, the doctor was happy with his growth and development and thinks he will be walking sometime soon!
Luke now sleeps from 7:30pm-7:00isham. We are very excited that he has given up his 5:30am bottle! He still takes two naps a day: 9:30-10:30am and 1:30-3:30pm. He is still eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and enjoys at least two snacks a day. New fodds he has tried this month are: grapes, blueberries, oragnes, beans, strawberries, and rice. He also tried birthday cake at both of his parties and especially loved eating the icing. He kept asking for more!
This month, Luike discovered he could stand up all by himself without holding onto anything! He gets so excitied when he does this but hasn't taken any steps yet. Ryan was sure that he would be walking by now but Laura thought it would take longer. Luke can now say "dada", "mama", and "bye-bye". Laura started to teach him sign language and he knows how to ask for "more". He uses this sign all the time when he is eating!
This month's special memories were when we celebrated Luke's first birthday two times! We had a family and friend party at our house. Both parites were football themed, which fit Luke perfectly as we call him "our little linebacker". You can see pictures from boht parites in previous posts below.
