Luke's Diary: 12 Months

Hi Mommy's Blog Readers!

I'm a little late with this (because Mommy can't seem to get organized), but I'm FINALLY here to tell you about our last month!

The month before we turned one, we spent with Grammy and Grandpa and Mommy in Colorado, while Daddy was starting his new job in Albuquerque. There are so few pictures of us with Grammy and Grandpa, though! Mommy says she'll make sure that doesn't happen again when we get together to visit.

 

It was still cold, but we spent time outside a lot of days. One of the funnest things was riding around in buckets with Mommy or Grammy pulling us:

We spent a lot of time in Grammy garden too. It's beautiful, even in the winter:

Mommy always says to me and Sissy on days like today: "Babies, you are EXTRA cute today!"

It was fun playing inside, too. Mommy had taking care of the two of us down. And Grammy and Grandpa helped her a TON!

We started brushing our teeth this month:

One of our favorite things was to climb into a little cupboard space Grammy made for us...so fun!

We have tons of fun together, Sissy and I. One of our big things is to be "Bubs-a-sarous" or "Sissy-a-sarous", which means Mommy says, "Hey Bubs, want to be Bubs-a-sarous?" and then she picks me up and helps me lunge towards Sissy and goes "Rawr!" really loud like I'm a dinosaur. It makes me and Sissy laugh and laugh!

Grammy's been teaching us animal sounds. She'll say, "Sissy, what does a cow say?" and Sissy says "oooooo!" and everyone gets excited. She can also do a dog: "ar ar!"

More outside time:

And pushing a chair around the kitchen...that was fun...

I never wanted to eat unless I had my foot hooked just so...

And I have this total THING about lemons. All I have to say is, YUM.

And I'm climbing like crazy. Mommy's friend Sandy says both me and Sissy are going to be excellent rock climbers! (PS you can't see it, but my climbing was supervised here...always, always supervised...)

And, Mommy let us help her make veggie enchiladas one day. We loved helping her cook.

Wrangling two kids at bath/PJ time was kind of challenging. We're kicking and splashing in the bath some nights like crazy! Mommy would bring us into her room after the bath and we'd chase each other before she could catch us to diaper us...we made Mommy laugh so hard!

Oh, and Zo started walking this month! And I took a few steps, too!

And somersaults...somersaults are another big thing. We'll get in summersault position ("Head down, butt up," Mommy will say), and then someone helps us flip over...it's so fun.

We turned one in Albuquerque on March 15...Sissy'll tell you about that later in the week. We loved our month at Grammy and Grandpa's! Mommy says if we feel half as loved and taken care of by her and Daddy as she does by her parents, we'll be lucky kids.

Bye!

Love,

Luke
