Luke is TWO!

On June 26th, 2010 at 9pm my water broke.  I was not expecting it ( who is?) because I didn't go into labor with Ryan.  We quickly got everything ready to go, woke Ryan up and drove him to my parent's house.  As I left Ryan that night, I started to cry.  He was my whole world and I felt so bad that everything was going to change for him.  I was unsure how I would be able to love another baby as much as I loved Ry.  Little did I know... 

From birth, Luke has been happy and peaceful.  He makes people smile just by looking at him.  He is one special little boy and we have no problems loving him.  He bring so much joy to us and Ryan.  We can't imagine life without him!

His personality is really starting to shine now that he is two.  He know how to charm and can get most anything from me by looking at me with those beautiful blue eyes while he says " peas, momma?" He is talking quite a bit.  There are times when he tries to say something to me, but I can tell that he just doesn't have the words to express what he is thinking.  It will be fun to see those thoughts come out over this next year as he learns more and more! 

Things to Remember About Two Year Old Luke

1. He loves baseball.  He uses anything he can get his hands on as a ball and bat.  For example, a paci and a bowling pin.  It works.  He says, " Hey, batter, batter... swing!" And he can sing "Take me out to the Ballgame". He enjoys watching baseball on tv and especially at a stadium!

2. He is always on the go.  He runs fast and anywhere we go.

3. He is a pretty good eater.  Although he is quickly learning about the " good stuff".  His favorite foods are hot dogs and french fries!  Anytime we drive by In and Out or Chick-fil-a, he will point out that that is where french fries are.

4. He loves Ryan.  He is excited to see him each day and will copy anything he does.  He also loves Ryan's friends.

5.  He is super friendly.  He says hi to all the strangers and loves to give people high 5s then "bones" then a handshake... in that order.  Someone just taught him " spirit fingers", so that gets thrown in there too sometimes.

6.  He loves music and loves to dance.

7. He asks me every night to "nuggle" him.  I love it.  He says I love you, but is sounds like " I wub u".  He also calls me "omma" sometimes.  It is cute.

We just adore our little Luke!
