Luke is 18 months old

Luke is 18 months old already and we can't believe how much he has grown! He runs all over and tries his best to keep up with his sisiter. He attempts to climb up on everything and is constantly pushing chairs up to the counter to get to what he wants. He doesn't let the "big kid" steps at the park slow him down at all! He will try his best to climb them all by himself! We wonder if this will end up with lots of ER visits in the future for our fearless little guy!

Luke continues to have a great appetite, just like his daddy! He eats almost everything we put in front of him but he is starting to pick and choose what he wants on his plate. He LOVES dessert and will happily have one more bit of dinner for a cookie, popsicle, or lollipop! He loves to snack between meals and his favorite snack is goldfish and pretzels. He loves to drink milk and creamer, just like his sister! If you've never tried it before, give it a taste! It's really good!

Luke picks up new words almost everyday! We are always asking him to repeat words after us and he is getting pretty good! He can name all of his grandparents, some farm animals, and some body parts. He clearly says "Hello", "Bye Bye", and "Snack". We still use some sign language with him, like "more" and "hungry", though those are happening less often as he is finding the words now. We know it is only a matter of time before he is speaking in sentences!
