Luke at 11 months!

 

Hi Loved Ones!

 

It's been a long while since I have properly updated and Luke is already 11 months old! I didn't get to do his 10 month old photos because we were away in Europe and it was hard to find time to do it. I hope to post our photos from our trip to England and Portugal soon and you will get to see Luke at 10 months... But today, here are some photos of him at 11 months! The count down to his 1st birthday has begun -- and I'm not ready to have a toddler!

 

Unfortunately, he has been sick over the last few days and when I took these photos on Saturday, he had just started taking antibiotics to fight off his first ear infection, so he was not at his best. It was hard to get him to smile much but he still cooperated. :)

 

He has developed so rapidly since the last 9 month blog! In the last 2 months he started to crawl, then crawl fast, push himself up, cruise and is now standing for up to 10 seconds at a time by himself and has taken 2-3 steps! I am not ready for him to walk -- wait, did I already say that I'm just not ready to lose my baby?! ;) Well, there is nothing I can do to stop him! He is so mobile and literally into everything in sight. He also learned how to clap and sometimes will wave! And he is definitely understanding more and more what we say and has started following directions -- like to "No Luke, you cannot put your hand in the toilet!".

 

He continues to be a very sweet and happy baby and has just been the greatest blessing to all of us. Daniel adores him each day more and more and wants to be around Luke as much as he can. We love you so much baby Luke! Yes, you are still our baby! :)

Not easy to get him to sit still!

Trying to walk!

Our two sweet boys!
