Running in the Grass

So cute!

Playing Outside

Just a cute video of Luke playing outside. He had been saying a cute "Oh" after getting stuck on his belly when leaning over the short wall, but he wouldn't do it for the camera. :)

Conquering the Playground!

The last time we were at the park a few weeks ago, I had to help Luke up the stairs and stay with him on the play equipment the entire time (while I was surrounded by hoards of toddlers). :P

This time, he had since gained significant progress on climbing stairs and along with that - considerable confidence in general. So, I didn't have to go onto the play equipment at all this time! I have pieced together three videos that show a general progression through this particular piece of equipment. The bridge clip was technically taken first, but since it sits between the stairs and the slide on the equipment, it made more sense to place it in the middle. Now imagine Luke doing this over and over again once he figured out how to go down the slide!

Throwing the Ball

Pretty fun video of him running around the house and throwing his new soccer ball. :)

Stairs

Now that he's more confident on stairs, he wants to practice ALL THE TIME! He can finally go up them by himself, so that makes it all the more exciting. :)

Putting on His Hat

Just thought this was cute. :)

Walking in Daddy's Shoe

Just cuteness at how small and curious Luke is compared with Daddy's large shoes. :)

Body Parts!

This is the video I've been waiting to capture!!! It hasn't ever been good timing or appropriate setting (bathtub, etc.) for a video before. So, he's been able do do most of these for quite some time now, but it's finally immortalized for all to see!

Climbing Stairs

We spent the day with some friends and this is the first time we've had access to carpeted, indoor stairs for Luke to try climbing on his own. He managed to make quick work of figuring it out! As it is, he wasn't as interested in going up the stairs when I got my camera out (he had already climbed to the very top on his own), but learned how to make his way back DOWN the stairs just as I was filming. Cool, huh?

"Hi"

Here's Luke saying "Hi" to Cinnamon where he found her in the window. This is one of his favorite words lately. :)

"Fishes"

Luke started saying "fishes" when referring to Goldfish crackers. I'm guessing they must call them this in the toddler room at church, because I had always referred to them as "goldfish". Cute anyway!
