12 Months Old

Lukas is ONE YEAR old! I cannot believe how quickly this past year has flown by! He's so amazing, and is just the smartest kid I know.

Lukas at 12 months:
- is about 20 lbs
- is about 32 inches long
**he has his 12 month "well baby" visit on May 8th, so we'll know more accurately what those numbers are then....for now it was just Mommy and Daddy measurements
- can say Mom, Dada, mo (more), duh (done), bah bah (bye bye), Meh (Melody, our youngest cat)
- will sign more and done...he's also starting to shake and nod his head, but not always accurately
- is standing on his own
- is beginning to walk...he usually only walks on his own when he doesn't realize that he's doing it
- still can be entered in the sport of "speed crawling"...jeepers he's fast!
- babbles all day to Mommy and Daddy (when he gets home), however everyone else thinks he's a very quiet boy because he hardly talks in public
- is very inquisitive...he loves to figure stuff out, from puzzles to "how does this work" he's on it
- is very observant...in a new environment especially he will watch it until he knows everything about it before he does much of anything (this also means that he watches everything Mommy and Daddy do and attempts to do it himself....oh goodie we're going to have to be very careful)
- has a radar sense about technology...if there's any kind of technology, no matter how small or hidden, he will find it and want to play with that above everything else
- is very independent...he wants to do things his way and on his own time, and nobody can tell him different (this also means he's starting to throw tantrums when he doesn't get his way....I was hoping to wait a bit on that one)
- loves food...the only thing he will not eat so far is broccoli (and we think that's a texture thing because he ate pureed broccoli just fine)
- just started drinking milk and loves it!
- is growing like a weed because he's eating us out of house and home
- is starting to actually sit and read a book with someone...go figure books are not just for turning the pages
- has bruises on his legs almost constantly because he is such a daredevil - he just barrels on through
- has 8 teeth (four on top and four on bottom) and is working on all his 1 year molars (so painful!)
- loves his Mommy and Daddy more everyday!

Fun in the tree!



Sticks are....yummy?



Can I please have that?
