Luke's 1 yr check-up

We had Luke's 1yr check-up with the Dr this week and our sweet boy is doing great! He's been following along the same growth curve since he was born and is still above the 90% mark in almost every category! Here are his stats and a few fun things he's been up too (or should I say IN too!) this past month. ;)

Weight: 24 lbs 6.4 oz---88%
Height: 31.5 inches---94%
Head circumference: 49 cm--->95%

Teeth: 8!! 4 top front & 4 bottom front
Favorite foods: steak(he loves it!) strawberries, cheese, peas....but we honestly haven't found anything yet this boy doesn't like!
Crawling/Walking: He took his 1st steps not long after his birthday, right into Josh's arms :) but he still prefers crawling (fast) everywhere. He thinks he's pretty big stuff that he can go up the stairs now! And Big Sis is always watching to make sure he's safe. She's such a big helper and so proud of her little brother!
Talking: Just a few words but mainly sounds like Ma, Da, Ba, and even one that sounds like Em :) He also loves shaking his head no and when he's caught doing something he shouldn't be he gets the most mischievous grin and says Uh uh uh, (which translates to no no no) such a little stinker, haha!
Favorite toys: his big tractor, fire truck, Little People barn and zoo, any type of ball he can throw or chase, and anything he can stand behind and push, like our kitchen chairs :) He also loves the soother in his crib, every night he falls asleep to its lights and music and in the morning he wakes up and pushes its buttons right away.
Personality: Luke is definitely all boy and in to everything, all the time. He loves to play and to "attack" you when we get on the floor with him. He adores Emmy and gets so excited when Josh gets home. He loves to watch Josh mow and will sit or stand at the back door and wave at him until he sees him. He has the most infectious laugh and eyes that dance when he smiles....just like his daddy. And he loves his mommy....and I love you too my sweet boy. ❤

Just like we did for Emmy when she turned 1, we had Shannon take pictures of Luke and our now family of four. And once again, Shannon has captured our family so perfectly! These pics are some of our absolute favorites....

Our Little Ballerina

Emmy Jane had her first dance recital over the weekend.....and it was precious! She started asking about "dance class" all on her own last fall but we weren't sure if she was really interested or not.....well she certainly was :) And she looked forward to class every week leading up to the big recital. Her little class definitely stole the show, they were adorable! Emmy had her own fan club in the seats, and was so proud. Thank you everyone for coming to support our little ballerina! We love you Emmy, and are so proud of our tiny dancer!!

Signing her program for Uncle Justin :)

Emmy smiled like this the entire show!! And this was taken when the show was over! ;)
We love you Emmy Jane!!
