Luke's 7th Month "Golden Birthday"

**Disclaimer** I have more than a few reasons that I've been out of the blogging world for all of November, the main one being that my computer crashed!!!!  Ughh!!!!!  Thankfully, my wonderful husband remembers to back up MY computer, so I only lost a weeks worth of pictures (what else do I really care about on my desktop?!)  Unfortunately those pictures were of Halloween and the Military Police Ball!  I think I have enough on FB and my phone that I can eventually get into a post, but in addition to that travesty, sick babies that don't want to sleep, sick Momma who DOES want to sleep, company, holidays, and regular ole life has keep me beyond busy!!!!  Lots to blog about, just not sure when I'll get to it!!!
 
I suppose one's true golden birthday is when their year corresponds with their birth-date, but I figured we could celebrate at 7 months too!  (And he just happens to have a shirt with a 7 on it!) 
 
Lukey's new tricks this month:
*He can climb the stairs! 
*He LOVES to chase balls around the house...the girls have over-sized bouncey balls that fit   
  perfectly in his palm (yet are too big to put in his mouth!) 
*He's started to drool a bit, so I'm guessing teeth might be coming soon!
*He makes a bee-line for Leevi when he walks in the door from work!  Oh, it just melts my heart!!!   I've been saying for weeks that I need to get a video of it and I haven't yet!
*He can squeal and shriek with the best of them!!!!  We think Kailee is really loud; I think Luke is
  going to compete with her!!!
*He is still the sweetest snuggler!  When we walk into his room for naptime, he immediately buries his face in my neck and his hand goes to my hair...it's hit or miss if I'll put him down on his own or not; a part of me knows I should, but most of me says "who cares!"  :) 
 
We are enjoying every second of every month with this little man!!!!  A sweet tidbit from Kai:  one night before bed she said, "I'm happy that God chose this baby for our family!" 
 Sweet baby boy!
He is starting to stand alone for a few seconds at a time...I just happened to catch him here by accident when he let go of the ottoman!
Circus tricks! 
 He fell asleep in a sitting position...
 Best pup in the world!
 He was chasing a ball and got caught!
 And some cute video clips....
