As of Monday, we now have a 2 year old little boy running through our house. Unbelievable! I thought I would get used to the idea since his big sister already hit this age, but no, I'm still in denial my "baby" is two!

| This is how our newest 2 year old likes to watch cartoons :) |
We had a nice little party for him on Saturday (Valentine's Day) at our home with both sets of Grandparents and Uncle Derek in attendance. When he woke up from his nap and saw all the decorations and food out, he was extremely excited even through his tired eyes. I tried to have most of his favorites for his birthday - strawberries (made them chocolate covered in honor of Valentine's Day) and orange/banana salad. He is not a fan of sweets
at all (just the opposite of Meredith), I still made jello cake cupcakes with blue frosting, sherbert punch, and had some birthday cake-flavored ice cream. Low and behold, he gobbled up the cupcake and ice cream!

We are so proud of our little Luke and blessed each day of the past two years we have had him in our family. He is such a funny little guy. He started saying lots of words around 20 months and in the past few weeks, he has begun forming phrases. Some of my favorites are "nigh nigh mama" (night night, mama) and "mama peas" (mama, please). He says "bapa" for Grandpa and "mamoo" for Grandma. He has said "sissy" for Meredith as long as we can remember. You will always find him holding something in one of his hands; Nowadays it is always a marker. I can't wait to see what the future holds for this little guy.
