Luke is
EVERYWHERE and into
EVERYTHING! 13 months let's see, hard to even focus on what is new?! Crazy times here...Lukey has two new bottom teeth for a total of 4 on top, 4 on bottom. There isn't anything food wise he won't try! Anything we offer he will try and then demand more of it and stuff every piece we offer in his mouth all at once (we are working on good table manners...going to be a challenge!) Anything you are eating he wants, Hannah loves to share her food with him, which is good (we do promote sharing) but is also bad (Hannah is a
selective eater)and needs to eat every bite of her food! He loves mashed potatoes...can you tell?!
Playtime is anything but calm - when playing together Hannah and Luke are loud and rowdy, and of course someone always ends up crying for some reason or another - generally the two work it out and play very nicely alongside each other in the playroom kitchen, or with the Little People castle, farm, house, etc. (we have quite a collection). Luke likes to play ball and will always find one if you ask him to go find one! He likes books (Little Blue Truck books his fav) and any animal sounds book or song. We sing the
Elmo Has Four Ducks song all the time, Hannah sings to him too! Luke loves music and dance parties in the kitchen around or after dinner time are frequent! He bends his knees, bobs his head, waves his arms around and stomps his feet - pretty cute! Need to get that on video next time! Lovable, snugly, happy boy all around - Luke loves to be outside, running, swinging, digging in the dirt, playing with rocks, being pushed in his little bike or in the red wagon, chasing other kids or being chased! Loves the pool too - but mostly running to the edge (and leaning waaaayyy to close) and playing with buckets of water.
Bath time is always a fun time (and necessary) every night - Lukey loves playing in the tub - he will stand up and say
out when he is ready to get out which is cute! He has a bedtime snack of yogurt or sometimes a small pouch/container of fruit (babyfood) and goes to bed by 7:30ish after a song or story, short rock, then a kiss and he is ready for his bed! Up by 7/7:30am ready for food the next morning, he does still take a short morning nap and an afternoon nap...not sure when we will transition him to one, he plays hard and needs a rest! Full of energy - full of bruises and cuts too - our Lukey keeps us on our toes! Eventually though...he runs out of energy - sweet boy!
