Anyway, here is some of what our Luke-man is up to!
Likes:
-popcorn and treats, and food in general (as long as it is something he likes)
-having us tell him colors and helping him count
-singing. He picks up songs so fast! It's cute hearing him walk around singing songs.
-reading books
-going potty on the big potty. The first time he asked to sit on the potty my reaction inside was "noooooooo!!!!" I JUST finished potty training Mason like 7 months ago! I don't want to do it again! But Luke thinks its fun and it is good practice so I let him sit on the potty when he wants. He had the flu the week leading up to his birthday and he started to recognize when he had to poop, and half the time instead of having a nasty diaper, it went into the potty. That was pretty great.
-obsessed with Cars (1, 2, and 3), and Thomas the Train.
-his favorite places are the park and the zoo. And Mason's preschool. I swear he would not notice if I left him there!
Dislikes:
-when Mason steals toys from him
-when we won't let him steal toys from Mason (notice a pattern? lol)
-nursery. Oh man. This kid will not stay in there! It's been a real struggle
-new food; if he doesn't know what it is he will not eat it.
Other notables:
-finally cut his first canine in the last couple days of October, bottom left. Bottom right followed a few days later.
-his top canines came in the week after Thanksgiving
-he can scooter with the best of them! He loved his little scooter before it broke and was really fast. He got Mason's old scooter after Christmas and has already mastered it!
-Wearing some 3T clothes already!
-first haircut was in September! He was 21 months. Mason was 27ish months for his first haircut!
-super sweet, if you ask to trade toys with him he usually will. Also very good about saying please and thank you
-speaks really well and very clearly! I was looking back at Mason's two year post and there was a list of about 20 words for him that he mostly knew. But Luke is way past that. I can't even make a list because it would be forever long. He knows "on-ramp" and "off-ramp" and can use them correctly. He also loves telling us when he sees or we drive over a speed bump. We can already recognize 2-3 word sentences too. It's great being able to communicate well with him.
-mentioned this before, but he is a picky eater! He loves what he loves and will shovel that down, but there is a lot he won't touch. No bread (unless it is french toast), tortillas, cheese, hot dogs, scrambled eggs, or any other type of plain meat. He will eat soups and casseroles though no problem. He also loves noodles, and spaghetti is one of his favorites!
-at his 2 year check up, he was around 30 lbs and almost 36 inches tall! They didn't give me percentages unfortunately.
Since turning 2, this kid has developed quite the little attitude! Terrible twos kicked in full force! But we love him and love his little personality that is developing so quickly. Wonder how he will handle not being the baby in a couple months? We will see!!
And now for some pictures!
Oh man. This little guy melts my heart!
Seriously!
He wants to be a big kid so bad.
I can't believe how much he has changed in the last 6 months!
(from summer to when I am posting this)
My little bath baby!
Thinks he is so cool hanging out in the front seat and stealing my sunglasses..
Seriously. Obsessed with popcorn.
He is also a food thief!
He loves being outside. He also loves grapes! For a while he would only eat them while he was riding in the grocery cart, but now he will eat them at home too.
Loves his scooter! This one broke right after Thanksgiving
Lots of tackles on mommy while Mason has swim lessons
Loves food! Spaghetti and popsicles in these instances
His hair was SO BLONDE! I hope it gets bleached that light again this summer!
Wearing brother's hat and playing with brother's toys
I can't remember if he was sick in these pictures or not. I think yes.
Wacky Tacky!
Loves the park, and loves hanging on the bars at the park
He also loves my dad :)
He is a good sharer!
Both boys love making treats. Occasionally I am a fun mom and we make something together.
Nap time in our King City apartment. No black out curtains means I can get good pics of his weird sleeping positions!
Big kid swing!
Grandma spoils him with the beater :)
First haircut! I was so relieved not all the blonde went away.
He fell at the park one day and scraped his face. That was a fun week and a half while it healed
Luke loves Mason and wants to be just like him lol!
He found Sean's socks and insisted on wearing them!
I think this is the last time he fell asleep on me at church.
Obsessed with pots and pans!
He played with toys at grandma and grandpa's but also played with the pots and pans. A lot. He was often found sitting right there on the counter while I cooked dinner, and he heard a lot of "DON'T TOUCH"
This kid!!
Why is mommy a jungle gym?
Wearing daddy's glasses
We had some beautiful (hot) park days in King City!
Why do they insist on doing grown up things? I love when they can't see where they are going (I'm only half sarcastic)
He LOVES dogs. Loves.
And cats. This poor kitty took his "loves" really well
More stealing Mason's bike and helmet!
More outside time!
He is such a cheeser!
Story time with dad!
Playing at Mason's preschool
He was SO proud of himself for getting McQueen to actually be towed by Mater!
All the Christmas packages meant boxes galore. The boys loved making "boats" and running around.
Poor sickie with the flu!
On his birthday! Present time! And we switched his car seat to forward facing! He loves it!
Opening gifts! He got different play food for our kitchen, Sarge from Cars, a BB8 helmet, the bike, new pajamas, and a few new books!
He hasn't figured out how to pedal yet. I'm hopeful it will happen soon!
Cake and ice cream!
Oh yeah! An apron from Grandma J!
It was so fun having my parents come up! We did Christmas and Luke's birthday that day. We went to lunch at a pizza place a couple miles from our house, and Luke got a happy meal that he didn't eat because he was still recovering from the flu, and didn't have an appetite.
That night we had some of our friends come over for more cake and ice cream. The boys built tracks and chased each other around :)
We sure love this little goof ball!
