Luke {11 months}

Luke Daniel

is now

11 months old

Although he is pretty happy about it, 

Mommy is having a tough time with her baby growing up so quickly!

It seems nearly impossible that this 

precious, funny, stubborn, adorable, and very sweet little guy 

has been here for 11 months.

At 11 months, Luke is 

20 lbs 2.6 oz and 28.5 inches

Yep, still our biggest baby though not by too much 

{Eli broke 20 lbs at 12 months and Alli at 16.5 months}.

I would love to say that at 11 months, Luke is a fabulous little sleeper, but that is not the case ;-)

When he feels well, he does pretty well ~ 

going to bed around 6:30 or 7, waking to eat around 4 or 5, then up for the day around 6:30 or 7.

However, as the pictures show, he is NOT feeling well right now 

and that throws any good sleeping out the window!

At 11 months, he still needs two naps a day but with "the bigs" school schedules, 

the morning one is hit or miss these days.

At 11 months, Luke loves to play ball and be outside watching his siblings and trying to participate.

Luke also has quite the little personality and loves to "tease" and act coy ~ seriously too cute!

The little stinker kept covering his monthly sticker with his basketball.

At 11 months, Luke has also mastered the fake, camera smile just like his Daddy.

He sees the camera and puts on the fake smile for Mommy!

Luke still adores his big brother and sister but is starting to form some opinions of his own 

and lets them know when he wants or doesn't want something!!!

His siblings still love him bunches and try to snuggle and play with him all the time,

though Eli isn't too keen on sharing his toy cars and tells Lukey can't have them because he will choke.

Although that is not bad reasoning, it's very entertaining to hear from a 3 year old.

At 11 months, Luke still gets around with his army crawl but has crawled on all fours a couple times.

He is also starting to pull up and stand!

At Sunday school this week, this is how I found him, trying to play and eat playdoh!

We are in no rush for him to become fully mobile and love watching him scoot around.

Outside, his favorite place to scoot is over to the sandbox.

Adorable but we have to work on him NOT eating the sand ;-)

Eli thinks it's fun to play with Luke and the "big trucks" and Luke loves the attention.

At 11 months, Luke's biggest new accomplishment is climbing stairs . . . 

He is so proud of himself and Mommy is frantically looking for the gates!!!

At 11 months, we continue to be in awe of this amazing little blessing from God.
Luke is a joy to each of us and his smile brightens our days no matter what is happening.
He is playful, loving and very cute in all he does ~ even his tantrums are cute!
We thank God every day for you Luke and cannot wait to celebrate you first birthday next month.
