11 months? Really?

I cannot believe it. I know every mom says that "time flies" and they can't believe their little one is so many months old. Well, I join that group of women because I can't believe that Luke is coming up on 1 year. Wow.

(He really enjoyed a piece of bread with strawberry jam on it)

Christmas was a blast! We stayed here with Dave's parents and even spent the night at their house. There's nothing like enjoying the holidays with people that you love.

Luke is a walking maniac. Just give him an open space and he will take advantage. Our apartment is small so he doesn't get the chance to do that very often. But when we are at his grandparents house he just walks and walks and walks. Such a cute boy. He weighs 21 lbs and is 31 inches long. His favorite game is to have someone chase after him. The funny thing is that he gets distracted as he is running away from you and has to stop to check out the ball on the ground or the shiny magnet on the fridge until he remembers that he was being chased. It makes me laugh every time.


My aunt got Luke this adorable Sunday outfit for Christmas. Unfortunately, he is a rather big boy and didn't fit into the 12 month shirt. We rolled up the sleeves and didn't button up the shirt so that we wouldn't choke him. But we did find another use for the tie. It looks rather cute with a onesie.

(Just another day at the office.)
Wow. This picture really makes him more like a little boy than a baby. I don't think I am ready for that yet.

OTHER NEWS:
Dave got a full-time job on campus at UVU. He loves it and even has his own office. He plays "nooners" basketball on campus as well as with our ward. Luke loves to watch him play and wants so badly to go out and join him on the court. My sister is serving a mission in the Maryland Baltimore mission and I miss her terribly. I am expanding (or discovering) my cooking skills and trying to give Dave more of a variety for dinner. It's fun! But expensive. So I try not to get carried away. I am going to the temple once a week with my friend Aimee (I started last week), and I love it! I am so excited all week long to go again. Dave and I also went last Saturday after quite a while of not going together and it was spectacular. I had an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for baby Luke. He was sent to me specifically to be his mother and Heavenly Father has so much trust in me to take care of this little spirit. What a privilege and joy.

He woke up. I am needed elsewhere. Thanks for reading!
