Crawling? Birthdays?

Luke is getting so close to crawling, he can get up on his knees and arms, but can't quite get that forward motion going, he'll have it soon no doubt!




Later in the day, Luke went to Ryne's first birthday party where he watched Ryne eat his cake with interest!

Trip to Illinois

Luke and I recently flew to Illinois for my cousin's wedding. Luke got to meet his papa Floetke's side of the family and take his first airplane ride! Luke did great, he fell asleep shortly after take off and slept through the landing.

While we were there, Luke went swimming in the heated pool at the hotel.




Luke had a great time partying at the reception, he danced and entertained :-)

Luke meets Violet

My friend and roomate from college, Vim, and her 10-week old daughter Violet came to visit us while we were in FL. Luke loved watching Violet, and I suspect she thought he was pretty cool as well :-)

Trip to Cypress Gardens

Luke visited his first theme park, Cypress Gardens, in Winter Haven, FL. He got to ride on the train with his Papa. He had a good time waving (mostly at the little girl in front of him).

Luke's Uncle Neil sure knows how to make him laugh!

Family Vacation

This Memorial Day Josh, Luke, Noah, and I made the trip to FL. We were able to attend our good friends Linc & Lindsay's wedding (Josh was a groomsman) and my cousin Holly's High School graduation (we'll forgive her for going on to FSU). While we were home, we took Luke to the beach again, but he didn't enjoy the water like he did at Christmas. He did have a good time playing in the sand, the little bit that we let him. Mostly, he just looked fashionable in his hat and shades :-)
