"IT WOULD BE AWESOME"

Oh, how I love my Lukey boy! He certainly is "one-of-a-kind." Tonight after getting him dressed in his pj's he told me he wanted to wear his, "Nite's." I told him he didn't need to put shoes on because he was just going to bed. His reply, "It would be awesome." So, we put his Nike's on...and it was awesome. He loves his Nike's...and his "hiting boots." Luke likes shoes, period. Luke is a silly little guy. He loves to laugh and make others laugh. He likes babies, bikes, fruit snacks, copying Wyatt, dancing, jumping off high things, running really fast, and cuddling. He has quite the little opinion, from what he will wear to bed, to what cologne he wants to wear for church. He is a stubborn little fella...very strong willed. Once he asked for gum in the car, and when I told him no he cried for 5 min. straight. He will bug me and whine for what feels like eternity when he wants something. He also gets away with a lot because he's just too cute. He is pretty quiet most of the time (for the first year and a half of his life), but has been trying so hard to make conversation. He says really good prayers and can repeat most anything. Luke is a really good sleeper...in fact, he has been known to sleep in until after 9 am! All the little girls love "baby Luke." Everyone thinks Luke is so cute, and that he has great hair. Luke is very shy and doesn't particularly like big crowds, even if it's family. He will stay right by me until the crowd dies down, and then he'll let loose. When he does take a nap during the day (rarely) he wakes up in a really bad mood and has to be held for at least 10 min. before he will stop crying. Luke likes to eat....especially sweets. Once when we asked him what his favorite food was he replied, "rocks." But he really likes cereal and chips. He calls Levi, "Uvi", and calls himself, "Ute." Jared noticed this and decided to help him with his K's. So now he says his name very clearly and really gives you the K. It's great. He wants to be independent and do things himself ("self!"). If we are running late and I pick him up to put him in his seat he will cry until I get him out and let him crawl up into the car seat. He doesn't care at all about not being potty trained. He likes to wear his underwear...over his diaper. Luke has a great big smile! Whenever I take his picture he wants to look at it right away. Once we get home he wants to take his clothes off immediately. He is very athletic and can throw! Loves the color blue. He loves his brothers and gives the best hugs and kisses.

For his 2nd birthday we got him this bike (no pedals) so he could learn to balance and never have training wheels. Even with the seat at it's lowest he couldn't reach until just recently(he prefers sitting on the bar because he gets better balance). He is really good at it now!
