16 months


After 16 months Luke is full of even more personality, charm, humor, and energy.
Luke has learned and loves to do many new things month:
  • blow his own bubbles

  • fly an airplane (pretends of course, with airplane sounds)
  • dance like his Daddy
  • copy anything and everything you do or say

  • test his limits and see what reaction he'll get
  • eats well on his own with spoon and fork

  • chase frogs

  • point to and name things he knows: birds, airplanes, cars, trains, all his body parts, animals, objects, and pictures

  • say "Heywo" to EVERYONE, he loves attention from all and hasn't the least bit of stranger anxiety

  • 'talk' on the phone or anything that looks like it could be used as a phone

  • pound out some "Nugs"- something he has been capable of doing for a while- but this month he has been more of the initiater- without any prompting he'll offer up some "Nuh"
  • asks for kisses, again all on his own, such a sweet boy.

  • laugh- at you, at himself, and sometimes just for the sake of hearing laughter.... something his Mamaw taught him which he still does with delight. its infectious.

  • follow directions or requests-eagerly.... mommy likes this.
  • Answers questions with a sweet drawn out almost southern "Yeeaah"

  • watch "momo": movies
  • wash his hands

  • count to three

  • play ball- kick, hit, and throw balls-every -single- ball- he owns- particulary into the kitchen

  • push toys, cars, carts, strollers, his lawnmower, and anything else he can move- for miles.


  • being a big boy doing boy typical things, and sharing in these with his Dad.
