Luke at 16 months

Time continues to fly with this little man!!!!  We are soaking up every last bit of sunshine before the gloomy winter sets in!!!  I'll be curious to see how he handles the winter with his obsession to be outside!!!

Watching the lawnmower man!

Sister torture!  I caught her before she actually popped it, but Luke seemed to know what was coming!

Who needs a pool when you have a bucket!?

Harassing  Chillin with Leila

Fist bumps are his new thing!  And once he's on a roll he wants to fist bump any stranger that passes!

Soccer and baseball are his absolute favorites!

When he connects, it really goes far!!!

Our handsome man!

I have had this bike seat since Hailey...Kai got a ton of use out of it when we lived in Mannheim and I imagine Luke will also since both girls now can ride bikes or scooter efficiently!

One of the last Ice Cream man visits of the summer!!!  I used to get him a cup, but he has to have a cone like the big kids!

The Green boys bought this with their allowance!  Luke somehow knew just what to do!

This age is so rewarding when you can SEE the learning!!!  The night before this picture, Kai set up a "library" in Luke's room with the lego table, a stacking block, and books.  Wouldn't you know that the very next night, Luke dumped his legos and repeated the EXACT same set up!   It was also a big lesson for the girls on Monkey See-Monkey Do with good and bad behavior!!  He's always watching!

Hangin with the big kids!!!

He is giving Kai a run for her money with his climbing!  You name it, he'll climb it...couches, dining room table, bar stools, dressers, playground equipment, window sills!  I'm praying that the crib isn't next!!!  I will definitely fight him on that one!!!  He loves going to sleep at naptime and nighttime so hopefully the love will outweigh the adventure!  (And I have no idea how he got into this cart without it tipping over!!!!)

His blonde highlights are just too much!!!!

We love you, Buddy!!!
