One More Month Till The Big 1-2!

My not so little baby is 11 months old now. I still can't believe his 1st birthday is only one month away! As he's pretty much warped into a little human with feelings and opinions, he is more fun yet also more crazy! 

In one week, four teeth have erupted (after being toothless for most of his first year). He can almost support himself when he stands upright (till he realizes he has no support). He says "mama", but I'm still trying to figure out whether he means "Mommy" or "more". He is super mobile, which means I'm in super trouble. And he's an Indian, just like his mama (loves copying what other kids do)!

Although life has been crazy lately, it's also been fun. Luke is definitely ALL BOY (those who have raised a girl know exactly what I'm talking about when they see this kid). 

Just chillin' (at his first church retreat @ Redwood Glen)

FACE MASH!! (total boy!)

My Life

From 8 - 8, my life is pretty much consumed by my almost 1 year old! How did my all these months pass me by so quickly?! I've become addicted to carrying my camera around like a tourist-y fob (yes, with the dangling band so it's easier to whip out my camera) just so I can snap tons of pictures of my boy.

Yes, homeboy would rather be naked (no joke!). 

For some reason, I find this picture super cute!

Hot weather = picnics at the park.

I'm running out of new ideas to do with this boy. If anyone has any suggestions, please share! Though I really don't think Lukey minds that we practically do the same thing every single week.

A whole play area just for Lukey!

Sunny Picnic

Lukey had a picnic play date with his buddy Micah.

Super mugger!

Random Adventures

Crazy Lukey goes on random crazy adventures on a daily basis!

 He's inherited Mommy's "gimme gimme gimme" face.
 

 Daddy & Mommy will soon be suckered into buying him a train table.
 

 Preparing for preschool (in the Fall).
 

 Lukey & his dino shirt have the same expression!

He doesn't know about quarters and "vehicles" moving yet.

10 - Double Digits!

This might be the fastest year of my life! I can't believe we're in double digits and there are only TWO more months till my little big guy turns 1! A reality check moment happened when I read my email this morning and Amazon was no longer sending me "baby" emails, but "toddler" ones. Is my baby a toddler already? Yikes...

Thank goodness I only have 2 more monthly pictures to take. This guy will not sit still and refuses to smile during these takes.

One of his favorite hobbies, bothering Dot!
