Dat's Day
Father's Day was awesome this year! We went to Grandma and Pop's house on Saturday for dinner. We had fried chicken. Luke was more interested in playing with toys though. He was so glad to be back at Grandma's house! Friday we met Grandpap and Gramma Dana for breakfast at George's. They go there a lot. All of the servers knew Luke because Grandpap and Gramma Dana brag and show tons of grandson pictures! Sunday afternoon we went to the farm to see Paw, Memaw and the whole Sperry gang. We played in the creek again. Luke and Emily especially liked chasing minnows around in a bucket. Finally, Sunday night we took Daddy out to dinner and relaxed outside when it finally cooled off. It was a busy but fun weekend! Happy Father's Day to all of the wonderful Dads in our family.

The Creek
Luke finally got to get his feet wet in the creek. I spent countless hours in this body of water throughout my childhood. It runs through my Pop's farm. There were so many things to explore. Luke got to run around with very little boundaries which he loved. He needed to be steadied pretty much the entire time in the creek but he absolutely loved it. As soon as he saw the water he went right in. We are going to try to make it a regular weekly stop during the summer.

First Zoo Trip
We hit the zoo today with Grandpap. We had the best time. We laughed our way through the park. I think Luke may have enjoyed the geese the most. They were just his size and about his speed too. He probably would have chased them all day if we would have let him. Luke liked looking at the giraffes and the petting zoo critters too. He still liked pushing the stroller the best. He loves to use his new walking feet in all environments. Each time I would try to put him in the stroller it was a struggle. This guy is becoming more and more busy and indepdenent each day!

Month Fifteen
Dear Luke,
Just when we thought you couldn't get any cooler, you proved us wrong. You started walking this month and it has been such an amazing thing to see! I would say your first real steps came on Mother's Day which totally delighted me. From that day on you got a little more brave each day. It only took you a couple of weeks to master the art of walking and now you are moving everywhere alone. Daddy calls it a "white knuckler" when you walk. This is partly because we hold our breath a lot of the time while you wobble and also because you clench your fists and hold them tightly to your chest while you shuffle along. You finally have a reason to wear shoes! You have went shoeless for pretty much 14 months!
You have become very independent lately. You want down to roam at all times. You don't like to be carried much anymore. You want to be down to explore! You are a hit everywhere we go. When we are out at restaurants you always announce whenever anyone is wearing a hat. You don't just say hat once. You say it at least 50 times. You say EVERYTHING at least 50 times. I think you get that from me! Daddy says I like to repeat myself. You are the first to let everyone know food is HOT. You also can clearly let everyone know without any doubt when you are ALL DONE.
You generalize things and it makes me giggle. You walk by watermelons and say "ball, ball, ball". You think anything that goes on your head is a hat. When I put on my headphones or my glasses you say, "hat, hat, hat". You have started to make some animal noises. You make a mean snake sound. I think it is my favorite.
You are just hilarious. Every single day daddy says, "I just get a kick out of this guy". You have your own little teasing, hilarious personality. Today we spent the afternoon crawling around in mud and playing with the water hose. Daddy sprayed you down and you giggled with each drop of water. The cold really shocked you but you seemed to enjoy every minute. I don't know if I have ever seen your dad so happy. There is no other place he would rather be than playing with you. You woke up the other morning and "DAT" was the first word out of your mouth. You moved through every room looking for him. Tonight we sat down to read books. It was poker night so dad was out. You sat down for books and immediately started with "DAT, DAT, DAT". You two are amazingly close.
I am off with you for nearly three months. I am BEYOND thrilled to spend this time with you. I've already had a couple of days off with you this summer and they have been some of the best ever. Daddy is off on vacation over the next week. We can't wait to take you to the zoo and do some fun firsts. We could not love you more!
