He was so delicate about eating his cake


It did end up in his ears by the end though

Mommy made him wear the silly hat..... but he didn't seem to mind.

No story.... just thought it was cute.

Sleepy Boy - with remote.

Caught this picture in the morning - trying to wake up and catch the news, I guess.



Once he figured out there was a camera, then he performed.

Multitasking

Luke has "his" cabinet - where all the tupperware-type dishes are. Sometimes the kitchen gets pretty messy!

11 Months Old!!

Luke's favorite hang out......

I promise, we are not putting him in here!!! He gets in on his own, and then of course I freak out - germs!!! It's funny how Luke tries to be Ashley's friend, and she'd really just rather him go away!
