Listen up people….I’m now a ONE YEAR OLD!!!!! It is
officially official- I am now a big boy!!!!! No more baby bottles, bibs,
passies, onsies, or baby milk!!!!! I’ve been waiting my entire life for this to
happen! Let me tell you how much of a
big boy I am: I weigh 23 lbs (79% percentile), 30 inches tall (58% percentile),
AND my head is 18.5 inches around (75% percentile). Booooyeaaaaa. Exact measurements of a ballin’ big boy! I can walk and run, shut doors, open the baby
gate, climb stairs, put my shoes on (wrong foot usually), drink from a cup (but
I spill), chase Nellie, chew on my toes, and I can find food in the pantry and
bring it to mom. Pretty gosh-darn
exciting, isn’t it?

My birthday party was better than I could ever imagine. All my friends and family came, we played,
ate food, and I got to smash a cake and make a mess! I’ve never been so messy in nice clothes
before, and I’m sure mom won’t let it happen again. People even brought me gifts! How crazy is
that! I got TWO Radio Flyers (one from grandpa and monc, and one from Mimi),
tons of toys, books, balls, a water & sand table, AND my first golf
club!!!!! It was the most wonderfully fun day of my life!! Grandma and Papa
came a few days later and we got to eat cake all over again!!!

My favorite things continue to be taking naps with daddy,
going to the YMCA pool, going to lunch with my girlfriends, playing outside
with Mimi, and chasing Nellie. A big
thing will be happening soon- mom signed me up for Mothers-Day-Out. I’m not sure what that means, other than Mom
said I have to dress up every Tuesday and Thursday -I really don’t care for
that. But she did say that I’ll makes
friends and get to finger paint. So, I
guess I’ll go. Also Mimi told me every
Wednesday we’re going to go to the library and listen to some person read me
books. She even got me a library card!
#fancy.

In other big news, in August I’m taking my first airplane
ride to someplace other than Tampa….we’re going to North Dakota!!! Mom and
Grandma tell me stories about North Dakota all the time----and how we’re going
to go to the lake, eat ice cream with Uncle Jim, and one day go to church camp
just like mom and Aunt Ann did!!!
Ok Party People. I
hope you’ve enjoyed my 12 months of blog posts as much as I have. I’m not sure if mom will let me post
anymore. Guess it depends on my
behavior. If you need to find me, just
call mom, but if it’s a weekend, don’t even bother, I’ll be watching football
with daddy. Thanks for reading my blog!!
I’ll stay cute,
Luke
