My baby is officially not a baby. *sigh* How did such a thing happen? A whole year just flew by in the blink of an eye! Wow.

Luke turned one year old this week. He is now officially no longer an infant. He's crawling, finally. He's starting to talk, which still amazes me. He's like a little person. I, however, am in disbelief.

The frail little baby that I had to bring back to the hospital only a couple of days after bringing him home, to ensure he was gaining weight and getting stronger, is now crawling all over my house pointing at everything that catches his eye and saying: Book - ah?

He's not only NOT a baby, but he's huge! He's wearing 24 months, he's getting all these adorable curls all over his head, and he probably weighs the same as Allie, who is going to be three in a week.

We originally had some concerns about him not crawling, but he's a crawling maniac now. I was giving him till his first birthday to crawl, before starting PT, and about a week or two before his birthday he perfected it. He crawled just like he does everything else: He's in no rush, he's laid back, he's happy, he goes with the flow, he smiles through life.

I've been neglecting this blog. Everyday I have posts written in my head, but they never make it here. For some reason, by the time I get on the computer my brain is so fried that I can't write anything. I'm lucky if I can check email and facebook. LOL I've mostly felt bad about this because I have neglected keeping tract of Luke's first year on this blog...or at all, actually. With Allie, I wrote every day, every first was documented. Every feeling contemplated.

Here's the reason, or excuse, however you want to take it. With Allie, I wasn't there. Everyday I was at work, missing everything, and most of all missing her. So the only way that I could keep connected to her, is by using my lunch break to write about what was going on with her that day. It kept me feeling connected. With Luke, I'm here! I'm witnessing every day of him growing and changing, so the NEED to document it isn't there.

It's sad kinda, sad that it's not documented anyway, but happy! So here's the documentation: Luke is a year old! He's smiley. He's laid back. He finally started crawling about two weeks before his first birthday, and will probably be walking in a month or two. Besides "ma ma" and "da da" he says "book(ah)", "more", "no", and "boo". He's trying to say Allie (aahhh EE), Thank You (annn ooh), Elmo (BA MO), Bus (baaah...??), and Luke (ook)! He's a mama's boy, and is very attached to me. The only person that he will willingly go to regularly is Mike. He'll go to other people, but as soon as he sees me, he's lunging out of thier arms for me.

which...I may kick myself for saying this one day...but for now...I kinda enjoy. *smile*
