More Bike Riding

We went out again to play with Luke's bicycle that Sunday, and the lighting in this other location was much better than our first ride. So, I got more video and pictures here. :)

Fourth of July Slide

Just thought this was cute of Luke doing the slide in the Hughes' backyard all by himself.

First Ride on his Bicycle

New Bicycle!

We didn't have time to give Luke his new bicycle on his actual birthday, so the next morning, we got it ready with a rolling camera, and caught his first reactions on video. Unfortunately, it was not as dramatic and enthusiastic as I was hoping for, but I could still tell he really liked it. :)

Happy Birthday, Luke!

First Time at the Beach

We took Luke to the beach for his 2nd Birthday, and he LOVED it!!! He enjoyed the sand, but he REALLY liked the water! He would have stayed out there a lot longer if we didn't make him get out occasionally to warm back up (even though it's So Cal - the ocean water here is still cold!). The first part of this video is his first time in the water. The second part is where Nathan is teaching him to "chase the waves". :)

Birthday Toys

We let Luke open a few gifts the morning of his birthday before heading to the beach. Among those gifts & cards was this stuffed cow from his Uncle Andrew & Aunt Heidi and a bus book from us. He was happily carrying them around for a while after that - very cute!
