2-0!

20 Months. That is how old my little boy is tomorrow. In just 4 more months we will have a 2 year old. A 2 year old! Seriously...where has all the time gone? It has gone by so fast, it's like we have only blinked and he is 20 months.

He is learning and doing soooooo much. I absolutely love this age. I have said that about every age...but this one is just so much fun. He is becoming his own unique little person that knows how he wants things done and has little characteristics that make him Luke.

What makes Luke "Luke"??

--He very much loves to people watch. It doesn't matter where we are or what we are doing...he will stare. Of course not in a bad way...but in a way to figure out what is going on or what the other people are doing and why. And when he does it, he will usually take his little hands and hold them together in front of him and mess with his fingers. Like he is really thinking hard. (but come to think of it...he has always held his hands like that since the time he was born (seriously) to now....its so cute!)
here he is just a few hours old (notice the hands!)



and here he is today... (staring at his little friend Ava)


--He LOVES airplanes and birds. Everytime he hears either...he will stop and point up and then look for it and say "eh eh" until we notice it too and make a comment about it. I think Brandon and I have decided we are going to try to take him to an air show because he would be in heaven!

--He really likes to swing. Whether it be in our baby swing in the back yard or the big boy swings at the park.



--He won't wear sandals of any kind. But...he will wear his crocs without socks. And at one point Brandon got him to put on his sandals with socks. But he would prefer to wear his tennis shoes. He loves to wear shoes around the house too.

--He has learned how to do a somersault. (and will gladly do one everytime you ask him to lay down to change his diaper)
**sidenote...I am loud..so you might want to turn down your volume on your computer! sorry!! I blame my mom's side for how loud I am :) )



--He has really worked on perfecting his sweet dancing skills.



--He has gotten embarrassed lately. Especially when someone else has seen him hit either me or Brandon. He also is now more private about his pooing. He will totally go to the other room.

--he loves candy. I don't know if "love" is the right word. He will always take whatever kind of nummy num num you give him...no matter what it is. He will stand there and say "nummy" till you give it to him.

--He likes to watch the Backyardigans and The Wiggles.


--He is a very very sweet boy and will just come up and kiss you whenever. And will always undoubtly give you a kiss when you ask for one.

--He likes to read. But only likes 1 or 2 books for a period of time and then switches.

--He is really into looking at family pictures lately. He points to each person.

--he has a love obsessing with his "lankie" (aka...blankie) He has loved that thing since he was 3 months old. (Thanks Kathy!)
(almost 4 months old...)

(just the other day)

What does Luke NOT like at 20 months??

--Having his hands sticky
--When his pant leg is stuck on his knee...he will obsess until it is pulled down to his ankle
--being scared
--holding your hand when you MAKE him
--time out
--sandals


Our boy has grown so much over the past 20 months. It's still hard to believe sometimes he is ours. He is such a blessing and teaches us so much everyday. and I'm not just saying this cause I'm his mom, but he really is a good little boy. We love you Lukie!
