Grandpa and Luke enjoy cuddling...and from here Luke can stare away at the ceiling fan, he's mesmerized by it!
Really, Mom, do you expect me to eat this?!
So, Luke hates food. Seriously hates it. Baby food that is. We've tried a variety of things and he makes the most disgusted little faces. Such torture! Luckily Allie is always right there to say, "Oh, looks like he doesn't like it..." and then she'll usually polish it off.

Dan was away for the night, so I took the kids up to Grandma and Grandpa Eaton's for a sleepover. They had the best time...Grandpa and Allie kicked and splashed in the hottub, Allie filled measuring cups with her favorite treats (m&ms), and she invented a new game called "big ball ~ little ball" up on the pool table!
And after non-stop fun, she finally cuddled up sweetly and fell asleep to tickles. Very typical for Allie.
Luke is such a plump little man! We had to take the cozy, fuzzy lining out of the carseat because, as you can see, there's just not much wiggle room for him and the thick blankey!
Luke is now sitting up all by himself and puts his hands down to steady himself. He's very pleased with this! He did this at 6 months, but now he's already pulling himself up to a standing position every chance he gets. He just pops up on those sturdy rolly-poly legs! And we can't believe he's trying to finger walk already! He can spin in circles on his tummy, but only counterclockwise. You can just see how determined he is....and just how busy he is!
Luke puts everything (EVERYTHING!) in his mouth. Especially other people's fingers, like his Grandma Jan's!

Everyone gears up for the Easter egg hunt! From left: Uncle Cole, Grandma Jan with Shaylyn, Bryson, Madelyn, Allie, Brandon, Ashlynn, Grandpa Brandon with Luke, Kaitlyn.
Seriously, could he be any cuter? I realize I post more pictures of Allie since she's always on the go. But Luke watches her closely and he's learning her tricks...and some of his own, too! He's sitting up, a little. But he's so darn excitable, that he flips and flops all over the place. It's hilarious! Basically, he's happiest when I'm holding him and Dan and/or Allie entertain him with silly antics! He's a sweet and very good little boy....we're so blessed!
The exersaucer is fun and all, but I know Luke wishes it had wheels, like the walkers in the good ol' days!
Bryson is so silly.... Allie could laugh at him all day long. He loves making silly faces for her and she just laughs and laughs. The kids have always enjoyed pulling this bench out right in front of the cozy fire....whenever we visit, it's out and the kids always enjoy their snacks together on the bench! She adores her cousins and talks about them day after day after day after we see them.
Allie thinks flipping up and over the back of the couch is the best game ever! She even started giving her flips names, thanks to Grandpa!
Another favorite activity: rock climbing! We were surprised (and alarmed!) though when we saw her climb this boulder in her saltwater sandals and Easter dress. We helped her down right away!
Allie loves jumping off the picnic table ....over and over and over again! And apparently even an Easter dress is not going to stop her! She has always been a climber and a jumper, so we're glad we have her back in gymnastics this spring!
Allie was so thrilled with this Easter bunny sugar cookie we made together. She'd been waiting all day long to enjoy it! And it didn't last long!
Here's Allie hunting on Easter Sunday up at my parents' place.
