Playtime

Near the end of August, Luke's cousins, Hunter & Cole came over for lunch. They all played together for a while that afternoon. Here is Hunter (almost 5 yrs). We didn't manage to get Cole in our picture.

I'm having a good time with my cousins!!!

 

Enjoying the Great Outdoors

Luke loves being outside. These pictures were taken mid-August on one of our less humid days. I spread out blankets in the backyard so he could play for a bit. Unfortunately we don't have any shade in our backyard.

Let me see the camera!

Oh, I'm so cute!

Chillin'

 

Big "Shirt" to Fill

Here is Luke trying to crawl while wearing one of John's T-shirts.

 

Nap Time

Just another one of those funny sleeping positions.

 

Guitar Lesson

These pictures were taken in August. John was showing Luke his guitar.

 

Welcome to B.A.S.I.C.

The first weekend of August we went to a family retreat in Hardin, KY at Bob Warren's place (B.A.S.I.C.). This is Luke welcoming everyone in front of the Manna House. He actually wasn't waving in this picture. Just good timing. However, as of now, Luke can wave. We have lots of pictures to post so you'll be seeing some of Luke's new tricks in pictures we'll post over the next several days. For now, you can enjoy the pics of our first summer vacation.

Posing on the Swing

 

This is Luke with his new friend Alyce. She called him "Yute." We had the privilege of sharing a cabin with the Westerfield family during the retreat. Yute and Alyce had fun times playing together. 

Heartbreaker

BEFORE

AFTER

Whoa...what did I do??? Poor Alyce. Luke has no concept of personal space. He loves touching faces right now so he thinks he can touch anyone he meets. Hopefully he'll learn soon that not everyone wants to have his finger in their eye or mouth.

A Picture Story

Peek-a-Boo!!! I let Luke get into my laundry basket of sheets after pulling them from the dryer. He enjoyed his cozy little nest for a short time. Not too long though. He's a boy on the move.

 

Funny Face.

 

Hey Mom, I see my toys!

 

It's a tough life bein' so cute.

 

Watch out Mama. Here I go.

 

Weee......This was an assisted fall from the basket.

 

Jammin' with my Guitar

Here's Luke with his Wiggles guitar. I found this at a garage sale. I found him holding it like this on his own. Pretty cute!! Luke really enjoys his new toy. Watch out Uncle Woody!!! We may need a Wiggles performance at a future birthday party:) Better start practicing!
