Luke 12 Months

Long time no blog... I am extremely behind on this post!  Our little man has already celebrated his first birthday and we cannot even believe how fast the past 13 1/2 months have flown by.  Here are some pictures and stats on Luke at 12 months:

At 12 months, our dude had 9 teeth and was weighing in around 21 pounds.

He was (and still is) an eater.  Luke loves it all, except Macaroni and Cheese.  Breakfast consists of a waffle, banana and some yogurt.  Lunch is a mixture of veggies and fruits, sometimes some chicken or turkey and something crunchy, like a cracker or some goldfish.  Luke made the switch from formula to whole milk in about 24 hours.  He loves milk and apple juice.  

Naturally with turning one comes a celebration! We had a baseball themed party for Luke and it was great.  So many of our family and friends were able to come to the party, Luke was beyond showered in gifts and handsome clothes and we had a blast!

Here are some Birthday party pictures!

The scoreboard was my first chalkboard to ever draw... and trust me, I am a lot better now!

We served hot dogs, potato chips, chocolate chip cookies and old fashioned glass bottle soda.

The favors were bags of peanuts, a little crazy for a 1 year birthday--- but it was baseball themed and was a perfect treat for the guests.

Luke's Smash cake, it was perfect!

I was not joking about the gifts!!!

So stinkin' cute!

Our Little Family

Happy one year to our baby boy, we love you!

Happy Valentine's Day

Taylor's cousin and her sister in law are a great  team at capturing our sweet Luke...  Here are some super cute Valentine's Day pictures that they took of our little man!  Check her out on facebook--- Freeze Frame Photography in Alvord, Texas!!  You will love it!

He is pretty cute.. don't you think???

11 months old

Can you believe that in less than 4 weeks we will be celebrating Luke's first birthday?!?  It is crazy how fast time flew over the last year...  11 months, it is going to be a fun age-- there is a lot crawling, very fast crawling, and some furniture walking & now he's taking about 6-9 steps at a time... CRAZY!

Luke is a now a table food eater, that makes life easier on us at meal time!  He loves peas and carrots, and really love is an understatement.  A typical breakfast for Luke is 1/3 of a banana, some cheerios and a little Yoplait baby yogurt.  It is perfect!  Lunch is a veggie and fruit, snack is crackers, some fruit or maybe left-over lunch that he did not finish.  Dinner is veggies and some fruit too!

Luke has 8 teeth and I am pretty sure he is working on 9 and 10 at the moment.  He has had a blast with all of his new toys.... so much so, that he now has a playroom in the house.  Luke loves opening cabinets, loves playing in (really, IN) the fridge and the kid would rather be outside than anywhere else in the entire world.  He loves playing outside.

Taylor and I are knee deep in birthday party planning--- all I can say it is going to be ONE GREAT BIRTHDAY FOR LUKE!

and he was done!  

10 Month old Luke

Can you even believe that Luke is already 10 months old... I mean, seriously!  Where does the time go?!?

10 Month Stats:

weight: more than 19.12, but I am not exactly sure

height: 27 inches

eating: EVERYTHING, not really but he sure is eating a whole lot.  We are loving all of the Gerber snacks.  The yogurt melts and cheetoh looking chips are by far his favorites.  He just lights up when we pull some out of the bag for him.  We have tried table food here and there but as of today, he is not a huge fan.  The newest baby food Luke has tried is the Turkey & Sweet Potatoes.  

talking:  definitely saying ma-ma and ba-ba.

playing/doing: speed crawling, knee walking, furniture walking, standing, closing doors, riding on toys, crawling through toys and being so stinkin' cute.

teeth: one new tooth has arrived, so we are up to 7 teeth as of today. 7 teeth, can you believe it?!?  

And as usual, here is the Luke picture overload, enjoy!

Monogram Swap

I have 4 monogrammed boy's onesies, sizes 6 and 9 months.  

2 green onesies with brown letters and 2 blue onesies; 1 with white letters and 1 with navy letters.

 I am giving them away in hopes that I can snag some awesome "Luke" or "L" or "LCA" or  "LAC".  I will gladly mail these to anyone interested for free!  Just email me at taylorandnicoleanderson@gmail.com.

Thanks so much!

Christmas 2012

Well, Christmas with a baby is very FUN and exhausting....  We enjoyed every minute with Luke.  He had a great time and loved all of his gifts so much.  We had 5 different gatherings over the past 5 days, which is how Luke snagged all of these goodies!

Needless to say, the plans for our guestroom to change over to a playroom have started.

Here is what Santa left for Luke, he was a very good boy this year!

My Niece, Haven opening her gifts.

Wow, a trike!

Precious cousins... Luke, Haven and 1 month old Kennedy

Our little fam.

While we were gone, it snowed st our house.  Luckily, we were able to get home in time to play outside.

The 4 wheeler is also from Santa and came in handy yesterday.

Now....Onto New Year's!  

Merry Christmas
