1 TO 10 AND BACK AGAIN

Luke is growing up so fast. He's continuing to develop his own personality, likes and dislikes and learning more and more every day.
This evening, I spent a few minutes watching videos that we'd taken of Luke in the past year. My heart ached a little bit when I realised how much in even just the past 9 months, Luke has grown and changed. Right before our eyes he has been changing from a little toddler into a big boy.
I keep thinking how much Kate has grown this past year, at such a rapid rate, like all babies do in their first year or two, but when I looked back at those videos, I realised that Luke has changed almost just as quickly. I hope that in the chaos of having a new baby and learning to be the parents of two children, that Jake and I haven't missed too much.

This is a video that we got about a week ago. I knew that Luke was pretty much able to count from 1 to 10, though I partly thought that he was just rambling it off from memory in the form of a song or rhyme... I didn't realize he was actually able to identify each individual number. To our amazement, he could not only count from 1 to 10, but he could count from 10 back to 1 again.
What a little smarty pants we have.

I love my big boy so much. He's funny and silly and smart, and even though he's getting so big, he's always going to be my baby.
