ONE STEP...TWO STEP

YAY, I am so ridiculously giddy with excitement... Luke decided to take his first steps this evening.

Firstly, I must just add, that I am really glad he decided to wait until his daddy was home. It's the one milestone I think we definitely BOTH wanted to be there for. Secondly, how awesome is it that we had the camera's out, and got the footage.

So here it is... "One small step for man...One giant leap for Baby Luke" lol

P.S I look like a giddy dork when he walks, and please excuse my messy house in the background... that would be courtesy of our little Luke who is like the Tazmanian Devil, rushing through our house like a tornado on a daily basis, ensuring that nothing remains in it's original place...

In other news... not a whole lot has happened around here lately... we have been working on our vegetable garden, but that'll be a separate blog, and trying to get things organized for Luke's birthday party. We want to have a BBQ, but need to get our yard and pool sorted out, and clean the backroom which has access to the porch, and re paint the family bathroom, cos I don't want a gazillion people seeing my currently nasty bathroom (the people who lived here before us did REALLY bad paint and fix up jobs - it's been really frustrating to try and make rooms that they destroyed in their awful attempts at painting etc to look clean and neat)

Luke has started getting really affectionate lately... that's a totally new concept for us because he has always hated being held tightly, being cuddled and swaddled etc. Now, he occassionally, though just for a minute will rest his head on my shoulder and enjoy a brief back tickle, or sometimes he will stand by our legs while we are sitting on the couch, and rest his head on our knees. LOL.. it's so sweet.

We also discovered the other night, that Luke has more teeth than we thought. He has just cut his second tooth on the bottom, which we have seen coming for a couple weeks... but in addition to his 2 bottom teeth, we learned that he has 4 more cutting through on the top... in fact it feels like a couple of them might already have broken through. So in no time at all my gummy smile boy is going to have 6 teeth showing in his mouth. WOW!

Here are some recent photo's of our HANDSOME little man.

We are so proud of our little boy!
