Luke's a year and half

My little 18 month old baby.  I suppose I should not always call him the baby now but I guess it's the curse of the last born child--always the baby!  He is just sparkly--silly way to describe a child but he is one of those personalities that shines through all the "naughty-ness" and has the charm that you just can't learn.  His new nick name from his big brother is "Naughty Head" and it just fits!  He is adorable and takes lots of pride in entertaining people.  He is so social and loves the big kids to play with more than most kids his age.  The talking is coming--slowly--but it is getting there.  Luke just loves balls, throwing and kicking, and he is really good at it too!  I guess all the practice field time watching his brother has made an impression. 
He has the best hugs now and a funny little lizard kiss.  He is learning animals and says "woof woof" then pants when you ask him about a dog.  He loves planes and birds or just about anything in the sky.  He NEVER sits, moving all the time.  I don't know how he does it but he can really reach ANYTHING--and a curious little nature to add! 

Talking and eating is starting to happen and he is growing like a mad man.  Officially he is 24.6 pounds (25%) and 34 inches tall (75-95%).  Built so different than Ian -- Luke is a linebacker and Ian can rock the skinny jeans.  So different it's great and I think they will always be best friends!!  And finally we have a big break in teething.  All of his teeth are in!  YEAH

So what is Luke saying now???
First word oddly enough was shoe.  (He is obsessed with shoes...)
He is saying da-dee, mumm, IN.. or Ian, Pap (Papa), sit Buzz, Buzz, duck, more, ball, bye, kit (kitty), buk (book), ban (banana), and any b's are his favorite words.  Seems like there are more but he is still not much of a talker yet.  He is a do'er!  Goes for what he wants and doesn't let saying what he wants get in the way. 

Such a passionate and adorable little guy.  Keeps me on my toes all the time!
