Luke lives for the one day of the week when Daddy mows. He talks about it all week long. He also talks about it the ENTIRE time that Dad mows. He just runs around the house saying "mooooahhhh" and "cuk" repeatedly. He also gets to take a couple of spins on the tractor too which he LOVES!

"Cuks"
Luke's newest favorite thing is a truck (or "cuk" as he loving refers to them). He loves trucks of all shape and size! We finally broke out the fire truck our neighbors gave us when he was born. He has grown into it. I remember when that truck was twice the size of him! Keep truckin' Luke!

Month Seventeen
Dear Luke,
This has been an unusual month. It is different because it feels like it has gone by in about 45 seconds. I don't know where it went! We have gone non-stop this month. Some of the highlights have included the airport, fishing, The Butterfly Palace, and Bass Pro. You are pretty impressed with fish, trucks, and wheels so there are always lots of fun things to see around here.
You are currently very excited about spoons. You ask for a "stoon" every morning when we sit down to eat breakfast. You like to attempt to feed yourself and I am trying to sit back and let you practice. It is sometimes difficult to watch you smear yogurt all over your face but I am getting the hang of it.
Daddy and I took you to Jumpmania on a rainy Saturday. You learned all about jumping and how much fun this activity can be. You now try to jump on your own but you haven't quite made it off the ground yet. I think it will be a while before we get there but you love to practice.
Your words are becoming more clear every single day. It is true. I've heard kids are like sponges and you are proving that to me. You help me around the house and learn new words every single day. You put the plural ending on a lot of words which I get a kick out of. When you look where we keep all the cleaning supplies you call them "soaps". Sometimes I open up the door just to hear you say "soaps".
You go to daycare at the gym and all of the ladies love you there. They say you are one of the happiest kids they have seen. There is nothing more we want than for you to be happy! We have had to remember to pack you snacks for the gym because you constantly try to tackle and take other children's' snacks. You also are a little aggressive with the babies. You try to hug/love on them so we have to remind you to be gentle. You love babies and puppies. You try to show them just how much you adore them with squeals and tackles!
Dad has started chasing you around the house making very strange noises. This pleases you to no end. You squeal your head off and run as fast as your little size 6's will get you to the other end of the house. I think this is one of your favorite daily activities and I KNOW it is one of his!
We are three weeks into swimming lessons. The first two weeks all you did was swallow water. We were all miserable. It was very hard for you to hold your breath. This last session was by far your best. You went under water and did so well. You LOVE swimming in the pool. You grin from ear to ear as soon as we get to lessons and don't stop until we have to get out.
I just cannot tell you how much fun this summer has been for us. I have two more weeks off with you and we are going to enjoy them to the fullest. Thank you for being our incredible, sweet, baby boy!
Love,
Mama and Daddy

Emily's First Fishing Trip
We took the kids fishing at the Rutledge-Wilson farm. Emily was finished fishing after about the first ten minutes. She wanted action and we couldn't blame her. Angie and Kati Ann fished for an HOUR solid. They wanted to catch a fish for Emily so badly! Angie wound up catching a fish on her last worm. She saved the day! The fish wasn't exactly a trophy but it was enough to spark Emily's interest. She was begging to go fishing again when we were packing to go home!
