Measure

Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?
In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights
In cups of coffee
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.
In five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure
A year in the life?

I have this song (from the Musical, Rent) stuck in my head from the Kay Jeweler commercials that are on ALL the time and thought, “Hey, it is actually a fitting song for this post.”

As I was uploading videos of Luke I started watching videos of him from when he was 3 months old.

It made me cry.

I say this a lot, but I cannot believe how much they change in one year.

**************************************

Luke went to his twelve month check up on Monday.

Here are his STATS:

Weight: 20 lbs 6 oz

Height: 31 inches

And healthy as can be.

Fun fact about Luke, basically just for my memory:

- He gives his blanket loves every time he wakes up and has me give it loves too.

-He recognizes certain people in pictures and LOVES to look at pictures all the time

-He loves fruit, any kind of fruit, you name it he loves it

-He recognizes Jesus and can point him out of any picture

-Takes 2 long naps

-Sleeps 12 hours at night (7:30pm-7:30am)

-He is crawling like crazy especially up the stairs, but still has no interest in walking by himself

-He knows how to open any cell phone and likes to pretend like he is talking on it

-He loves any ball, can say the word ball, and can throw/roll the ball

-He loves to play with cars and can make a engine roaring sound

-He loves to '”scare” us with his monster growl

-He can say the words mom, dad, ball, book, and what’s that (in his own way)

-He is a flirt and tease

-He has six teeth, 2 on bottom, 4 on top

-He loves to watch Signing Time and can sign MORE

-He loves to take baths

-He can open any drawer or cupboard and pulls everything out of them

-He loves books, especially Mud Bog Hog and his Mickey books

- He dances to any song and likes when daddy plays the guitar for him

I could go on, but I will stop and just say (once again)…

WE LOVE YOU LUKE!
