27 Months Old

Holy cow! It's a new year and the Lu is a month older, already!  2016 sure seemed to go by in a hurry and this little boy of ours learned lots and grew lots and just keeps getting cuter and cuter!  He seriously has the cutest, funnest, sassiest little personality ever!

Luke is a little clown.  He always has been but it just keeps progressing.  He WILL BE the class clown of his class someday, mark my word!  Luke loves to laugh and be silly and make people laugh.  If you laugh at something he's doing or saying he will keep doing it until you just can't take it anymore.  He never stops!  He thinks everything is funny, whether it is or not, and it sometimes gets him into big trouble.  It's fun that he has such a fun personality, it offsets his grumpy one, haha.

Speaking of grumpy,  holy cow can this kid throw a fit!  I have never seen temper tantrums like Luke's before!  He is a little bomb waiting to go off and when he does it takes forever to get things back to normal.  Most of the time he doesn't even know why he's kicking and screaming, he just is.  It's something else to watch and deal with.

I swear Luke has his finger up his nose constantly!  I don't know why, it's clean, but he does and it drives me crazy!  It's like a comfort thing for him I think but I'm not sure.  Silly Lu!

Luke is talking more and more these days.  He still doesn't use his words too well but he's learning more and we're starting to understand him better.

• "I told" ("I'm cold" which I love because it means snuggles!)
• "La lighs!" (Sounds like he's saying flash lights but he's referring to the Christmas lights which he loved so much and is sad they're gone now.)
• "Bab-bub!" ("Back up" Probably his favorite phrase when we go for a ride and stop to look at something then drive off.  We have to stop again and back up so he can see or else we get the wrath of Lu!)

Luke is officially in 3t clothing now.  He's SO big for his age and it makes me sad!  He is growing too fast and I wish he would slow down and stay my baby a bit longer.  3t shirts fit perfectly!  3t jeans are a little loose on the waist but are a bit too long for the most part.  That's OK, they're easily rolled up.  Having looser fitting clothes has made it much easier for Luke to strip down to his diaper, grr.  He has even mastered taking his diaper off and tossing it around the house, double grr!  I always know when he's running around half naked (he still can't get his shirts off) because he giggles uncontrollable and runs wild through the house showing off what he has done!  It's cute, it's funny, it's not funny, ha!

Luke is starting to show some signs of wanting to potty train.  He hates being in wet or poopy diapers and tells us almost immediately if he needs to be changed.  We tried underwear on him once and he loved it and he looked so cute running around in his undies.  There were no accidents, but he wasn't in them long enough to create a problem.  We've put him in pull-ups a couple of times and he thinks that that is pretty awesome!  I'm kind of in denial that we might be at the potty training stage with Luke already so we haven't been too persistent at doing so.  It will come, just not now.

We love our wild, crazy, silly boy so much!  He is a little sweetheart when he wants to be and monster when he's mad.  He's full of emotion energy and keeps us all guessing what might be next.  He is seriously the cutest and we love him so much!!
