A Day in the Life: Luke is 14-months!

I just can't believe it! Where does the time go?! It's getting a lot harder to take pictures of him now that he's running, but I still have to try, of course. It's fun watching the hubbs chase after him, and Luke pushing him away when the hubbs tries to cut him off (from running in the poop, lake, off the curb, you understand). I love how Luke can be so independent, trying to discover the world in his own way, on his own terms free from me and hubbs but yet, clings to us when he's tried, demands that we hold him in the mornings when he wakes. I love that he loves to be held but also loves to run free, I feel like we get the best of both worlds.

Here's what Luke is doing at 14 months old.

- at 13.5 months: 25.6 lbs, 30.5"
- Sleeping habits are, for the most part, consistent. He goes to bed, still, at 8 pm and wakes about 7 - 7:30 am. He rarely wakes during the middle of the night, if he does it takes a few minutes for us to rick him back to bed (yeah, we're still doing that, don't judge!).
- He still eats like it's been days since his last meal. Seriously, we wonder when this will change, as we've heard it does at some point but at the rate Luke's going, I think he has enough reserve to get him through Winter!
- His behavior - eh! He needs to start talking because I'm over the whining, quite frankly. He points to what he wants and grunts, it bugs me. I don't know why, really, but it does. When we tell him no and/or take something away from him, he runs in the opposite direction, throwing a fit. It's funny so I laugh (to myself, of course, I'm not that mean!).
- He points and pushes his highchair towards me when he's hungry and I'm in the kitchen cooking. It's funny until he runs over my toes.
- He's really great about following directions: Luke, throw your diaper away, Luke, put that back, Luke, shut the door, Luke, go get daddy, Luke, drink your milk, Luke, bring mommy her shoes (lol).
- He still loves his burp cloths, at bedtime and anytime he gets sleepy. He still loves rolling around in laundry, clean or dirty, he doesn't care (gross I know. Hubbs says that he can't wait to share this with Luke's girlfriend in 20 years, lol).
- He's into bubble baths. Loves eating the bubbles and drinking the dirty water (eww!).
- He loves laying in bed with mommy and daddy on weekend mornings, watching cartoons. During the week he points to the bed and will cry if we don't let him lay on it for a few minutes to get his fix.
- Aside from the whining and throwing a fit when he doesn't get his way, we're really loving this stage. We love how he opens his cute little mouth when we ask for a kiss. Or when he roams around the house looking for the other one of us. Or how he pushes himself between me and the counter when I'm preparing his meals. How he runs to the bathroom when we say it's bath time. How he shrugs his shoulders up to his ears and grins in excitement when he sees one of us coming towards him.

Here are a few pictures I snapped tonight, playing with my new lens <3 href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrsxoxo1598/5149875653/" title="IMG_4132 by mrsxoxo1598, on Flickr">
