One more...

One more harmonica video from the day after Christmas.  It was quite funny how he would just play it as he walked around the house.  :)

Climbing on the Playground

Here's a neat video of Luke climbing up the chains on the playground equipment, then wanting help to walk across the bridge.  Classic cuteness!

Emma's New Bike

Lots of the cousins got bicycles for Christmas, so a big group of us went to a school playground to play - some with their new bikes.  I got this clip of Emma riding her bike - not sure exactly what all she's saying, though.  :)

More Harmonica

A couple clips of Luke practicing on his new harmonica as he wanders around the house - guess it was a successful present!  :)

Calling Grandma

We got Luke a play cell phone and a new motorcycle.  He decided to call "Grandma" (not sure which one) to tell her about his new motorcycle ("gykee").

Learning the Harmonica

We got Luke a harmonica for Christmas, and he figured it out immediately!  Pardon my cheesy squeals in the background - I assume I'm just super excited that he knew how to do it right away.  :)

Opening Christmas Present

I realize I'm posting these almost a year later, but I can't let there be a gap on the blog, and there are pretty cute things Luke and now Jonathan are doing NOW (12-21-10) that are very cute and need to be shared with the out-of-state grandparents and relatives!  The thing I'm noticing the most in these old videos is just how much Luke has grown in a year - even though it seems like he hasn't grown that much in still pictures.  He's talking MUCH better and is clearly just an older boy now.  Fun to see how much he's changed.  :)

Private Concert

Luke woke up early from his nap and I let him hang out in there for awhile before getting him. When he started "singing", I had to capture his little mini-concert for you! The middle of this video has some rhythmic talking that I think is him singing. Not too concerned about notes at this point. :)

Swinging

Luke was giggling more before I got the camera out, but I still captured some of the cuteness. I never tire of his happy laugh!

Wrapping a Present

Luke had always been REALLY excited about this Christmas present for his Uncle Andrew ever since we bought it - a candy bar! So, when I finally got around to wrapping it, he took the initiative, went and got his step stool and came over ready to help. I went ahead and explained everything to him even though he may not understand it all right now - I've gotten in the habit of telling him lots of details since I'm often surprised by how much information he actually DOES retain. If I'm going to take the time to help him wrap a present, I might as well explain what we're doing. :) Notice how he keeps saying "more tape!" :)

Somersault

Luke learned how to do a somersault! The second one in this video is the best one I've seen him do. He still will only do them on his bed - not just on the floor. :)
