Our little Lukey pie turned 2 on Saturday. Unfortunately we were all (minus Luke and I) recovering from influenza A so we were not able to have much of a party or go to Council Bluffs and see the Lego Movie like we had been planning for the past two weeks. Instead we stayed home, rested, ate out at Runza, cleaned up Mikey's puke out of the pick up from the ride home, and had some birthday cake...
Luke will tell you right away that he is two! He really enjoyed his special day and was very proud of his tractor shirt and cow cake, but not until he had pouted about his new present (an avengers tent), his breakfast, and having to wear the new shirt (typical two year old!). Luke is a smiley and easy going little boy. He gets along very well with all of his big brothers and sister. He is a little clingy to mom and dad (we call him our lap dog because he is always wanting on our laps!), but he loves to be around other kids and especially grandmas and papas:) Luke loves to play with cars and trucks and puzzles and balls. And he wants to do whatever the big kids are doing. He decided for himself that he needed out of the crib and onto the table quite a few months ago. And recently has declined the baby spoons and bowls for the big ones. But he still refers to himself as a baby and is not at all offended by the title! Luke is talking more and more each day and it is so fun to listen to him and try to figure it all out. Like his older siblings he is never out of something to say! Luke still takes a great nap and is sleeping well in his crib. He thinks he needs out of that too, but mom and dad are not so sure! He isn't a great eater although he thinks he wants everything on his plate. He prefers to drink his milk and juice/water mixture from his sippy. I simply cannot get enough of his little pitter patter run that he has! And he is always excited for daddy to come home. We love you little buddy! Happy 2nd Birthday. Can't wait to see what this year has in store...ready or not you will be a big brother soon!!!!
