19 Months!

Luke has grown so fast and is looking so much like a little boy now. We went to his 18-month well-visit check-up today...a month late. Here are his stats: height 35.5" (90%), weight 27.13 lbs (60%), head 48.5" (60%), and body mass 15.1 (50%). Those percentiles are compared to 18-months old children but I imagine he isn't grow too much in a month. He has been 95% or so in height since he was an infant and around 75% in weight. He may be evening out a little. Noah was very high in percentiles and started averaging out around 2 years old. We will see! Here are some recent photos and updates of his growth...

Luke is getting better with a spoon but still gets pretty messy!

 He LOVES trucks, tractors, and all things that move! If we are reading a book that has a pages dedicated to tractors or trucks, we can only read that page. He immediately goes to those pages or those books if they are in sight! He will even name them...bus, tractor, truck, dump truck, etc. A couple of his common phrases are "Daddy car work" or "I do it" when he wants to ride something. You can actually have a conversation with him! I am daily amazed at how clear his talking is and how he pronounces each syllable. It seems like he will say another word or two each day that he has learned from the daily book reading we do. Such a sweet voice!

The other day Luke got to ride one time around the field in an 8-wheeled John Deer tractor with Daddy and Rusty Roush seeding/planting wheat. He loved it! 

Luke's love of 'moving things' involves trains. He loves 'choo choos' as he calls them!

Another of Luke's past times is working. He is always working in some way; pulling a shopping cart or wagon around the house, pushing the trash can around, or collecting treasures around the house. Outside he likes to push this skateboard around especially when it is muddy and he gets to go around in his diaper!

 He loves riding his tricycle too. He calls it his 'bike.' 

 The boys loved playing in the kitchen cabinets. I did some 'spring cleaning' this fall. I've never had to do Spring cleaning since we haven't been in a single location more than 1 1/2 years since 2001. We've been at this house over 2 years and I actually needed to dust the inside of the cabinets! That sure was a job...but it is easier than moving!

 Noah invited Luke to ride with him. Of course, Luke wanted to do it because he likes to do everything Noah does. Love them!

Happy 19 Months Luke!
