FINALLY!!!!

Jeremy and I are so proud to FINALLY announce that Luke is walking consistently by himself. I tried recently to expose him to several friends his age for him to observe them walking. People would say to me, "wow, he's a fast crawler" and I would say, "yes, because he should be walking". He's walking in twos...left, right stop, left, right, stop. He gets so excited when he reaches the other side of the room. He's so happy with his new found talent. His officialy walk-date is August 28, 2006 (he turned 15 mos on August 24)

Who can sleep sitting up?

Jeremy found Luke sitting up while sleeping and you can see he's dead asleep. Jeremy got it on camera as well--I can't wait for Luke's wedding to show off all these pics!

Isn't he a doll? I have had a few people in stores come up to Luke and say, "You're so cute, you could be a girl!". I'm not sure if that's a compliment...I just give a half smile and we go along our way. :).

Luke A. Hardymon, DDS

Okay, so I have more proof concerning my predication made when I was 6 months pregnant with Luke. For your memory, I had a dentist appointment when Luke was 6 months in utero and during the whole appointment, he was moving everywhere especially when the loud instruments where going. He loved it--I just knew he was smiling.

Now I have more proof. Luke absolutely loves brushing his teeth. He likes to do it himself and he loves when you do it. He actually gets pretty upset when he's brushed for 10 minutes and we say that's enough. He loves it.

Fever

Last week, before our company for the weekend came, Luke came down with a pretty high temperature (102.5). He never really came down with a cold from it but I definitely think something was in his system. Anyway, when I picked him up from his nap, he was burning up so I stripped him down to his diaper to stay cool. After a long nap, he wanted to go back to sleep with his bear for another 2 hours! Thankfully, we had a great weekend with our company and nothing serious came of this.

Naked Time!

Here, Luke does not like to be lotioned down...which we do after each bath. He's seeing where he can escape!
Here Luke is checking out the bath tub. Look at those tight buns!
He's escaping!!!!!

Enough buns pictures. I want him to talk to me when he gets older! :)

Cruising--with some help...

Luke loves his walker! He loves getting around and turns to me to grunt when he bumps into a wall.
Here Luke is trying to scare me to give him the camera. It didn't work but I liked seeing all of his teeth!
Darn shoe!
I want the lense cap...I want the lense cap...

First Hair Cut

Luke is not too crazy about this! He starts out with Dad and says "no way!"

So then mom tries and we get through it. I was scared of the claws of the hairdresser as I am sure Luke was too!
We took a final picture but Luke is snarling and I look possesed so I decided not to post it! Here is Luke riding the pony afterwards so you can kind of see the final product. He wasn't crazy about the pony either--he had a tough day!

Swim Lessons

Here are some pictures of Luke at swim lessons. Jeremy had July 3rd off so he got into the water with Luke. Luke loves the water.

Welcome!

Hi Everyone.

Thought this might be a quick, easy way to update on how our family is doing. Check back often!

Here is just a reminder about Luke's fun 1st Birthday. I have a lot of pictures to upload onto my camera...so I'll get to that.

Luke is enjoying a lot of time at the pool lately. We go probably 1-2 times per week. He loves it. In his class this week, we were working on blowing bubbles and he'll put his lips to the water trying to blow...he drinks more water though than he would like. He's learning.

He is also cruising so much--and he thinks he's really cool. I'll post pictures of him using his walker (he reminds me a little old man). He's so cute!
