these shoes are made for walking...

These are Luke's new "big" boy shoes :)  Now that he is a walking machine, my mom, Lindsey and I took him to stride-rite to get fitted!  He measured a 3 1/2 therefore we got a size 4.  The salesman thinks he should be good in this size for about 3 months!  The salesman said that a lot of babies go back to crawling or act as if the have cement blocks on their feet when you put shoes on them to walk...well that is exactly what Luke did!  As soon as we put them on he did not want to stand up and just wanted to crawl.  Supposedly this lasts for a few days...we were told to just keep putting them on for a bit each day...it didn't take but a day and he did start taking some steps with them on!  He still seems to like to walk more with them off, but he is definitely getting the hang of it :) 

In other news, I have to say that I had a wonderful 1st mother's day! I am so incredibly lucky to be the Luke man's mom!  It is unexplainable how much I love that little guy!  He is the sweetest!  It was an all around great day! 
We had both fam's to our house for brunch!  It was so nice to have everyone all together to celebrate! 


We decided to take Luke to the park mother's day evening :)  It is crazy how stone faced Luke can be sometimes...lol.  He is such a happy baby, but definitely takes things in and can get a super serious look on his face!  I think that he had a pretty good time, but it was kinda hard to tell! 

 just chillin!

 there's a little smile :)

 of course he had to try the mulch! yummy

Luke may not of had much expression at the park, but yesterday Lindsey came over and let him play in her car...well lets just say he thought it was AWESOME!  He was just cracked up and thought he was HOT STUFF!

 cracking up!

 ya, whats up ladies?

 put your hands up! ;)

 peek-a-boo with auntie linds :)

 10 and 2...haha

this was the reason Lindsey stopped by...she brought this wonderful edible arrangement and a gift certificate for a pedicure for me for mother's day!

BEST SISTER EVER!

10 months!!!

Luke is 10 months old!!! Like I say every month...I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!  Time sure does fly by!  He is becoming quite the little walker!  Each day he seems to take more and more steps!  I love watching him just take off...he is so wobbly and so stinkin' cute!  He pretty much always walks with his hands in the air and his mouth open...lol.  I tried to get some pics but he wasn't really into it today! This is what I got...

As you can see I tried before and after his bath with no luck...oh well!  He is just too busy for a photo shoot ;)  He is a man on a mission!  Luke does not stop from the moment he wakes up until the moment he goes to bed (with 2 naps inbetween of course ;)  When he wakes up in the morning he is READY TO GO!  He pretty much "talks" the whole day too!  We still get the da's, ma's, ba's, laughs, and happy screams...we are working on putting dada with adam and mamamama with me.  He is officially into any cabinet or drawer he can possibly get into...he has now shut his fingers in the cabinet twice :( 

It is definitely fun to watch him play with his toys...and actually "play" with his toys!  Before it was more us playing and him watching or trying to grab, but he will actually sit for short periods of time and play...too cute!  He loves to try and get as many toys as he can out!  He is definitely our entertainment!

Oh and his other big thing is when he is crawling to get away he takes off with his head down to the ground and crawls super fast!  It is pretty funny...he always does it when he is trying to "sneak" away or get into something he knows he probably shouldn't :)

I did manage to get two quick videos of him taking some steps!

2 other randoms :)



Luke is such a huge blessing in our lives!  I/we are SO extremely thankful!
