Luke Standing

Luke has been pulling up, if that's what you want to call it, for a little while now, but I finally caught it on tape, so here it is:

Luke practicing his walking skills

Luke likes to use his walker as a push toy since he seems to only go backwards when he sits in it correctly! Here's a little video of him:

9 months

Wasn't it just yesterday that I was posting about Luke's 8th month?? How time flies. . . Anyways, Luke is really starting to get around now. He uses his legs when he army crawls, so he's getting much faster! He pulled up twice today on a toy and then on the furniture! He loves to cruise around on the furniture and actually walked a tiny bit while holding on to only one hand today. He stood up completely by himself the day he turned 9 months in the middle of the room without pulling up on anything! He got up on his hands and feet, balanced himself, and stood for a few seconds before falling over. I didn't get to witness it, but Eric was there to sneak behind him and catch him when he fell. He is quite the character(go figure)! His favorite thing to say right now is, " Aye guy guy guy". I'm not sure what he is trying to say, but it's pretty cute. He started mimicking my silly wide open mouth smile and does it all the time! It's hilarious! He's so interactive now and so fun!

We had an awesome trip to Colorado this last week and I'll try to post some pictures soon. We went for the Rocky Mountain Mustang Roundup in Steamboat Springs. We went with Eric's younger brother, Adam, and his family as well as his mom and her husband, Kent. They all have mustangs too(runs in the family). Eric came in 4th place out of 14 for the autocross race which is pretty awesome considering it was his first time racing! I got to ride with him on his fist lap which I really enjoyed and I think he is now officially hooked!! That area of Colorado was gorgeous! Luke did an awesome job especially since our trip out there took 15 hours because we had to avoid a big storm. He's such a trooper! He really enjoyed the pool at the hotel and the hotel was super nice! We got a huge 3 bedroom condo that we split between the 3 families. It was great! We had a blast and even though I might've got a little Mustanged-out, look forward to possibly doing it again next year.

Silly Baby

Luke was cracking up tonight watching Aspen eat her bone, and then later when she wagged her tail. I caught video of him laughing at her tail and just had to post it! I also included a picture of our cool little dude in his new shades Nana and Papa brought him from their cruise.

Summer Fun!

Ok, here are a bunch of pictures from this past weekend and from yesterday at the zoo! Eric's brother, Aaron, and our nephew, Jordan, came to visit us this weekend. Between parks, jump zone, hiking, and playing in the water in bricktown, we had a blast! Yesterday, Luke and I went to the zoo with my sister and nephews. It was a lot of fun and was the PERFECT day for it! It was a little overcast with a cool breeze!! Also, Luke has really got the hang of army crawling! I included another video of him from this morning! Enjoy!

Luke wasn't quite sure why he couldn't just grab the water and put it in his mouth!

He's quickly becoming a pro!

Look who's starting to crawl!!

I just had to post this video from today! I have a bunch more pics and another video to upload from Aaron and Jordan's visit, but I'll get to them later! This isn't much, but it's a start! Enjoy!
