Luke is 2!

Last week Luke turned two years old!  My baby boy is 2!  The past two years with him have been amazing, he is such a fun boy and is finally starting to show others how fun he really is!  He has always been shy, and very much a mama's boy, but in the last couple of months he has trully blossomed!  He nows fusses when Isaac gets out of the truck to go to school because he wants to go with him.  I never thought that day would come!  He loves to play with other kids, he follows them around, and copies what they do.  He thinks he is so big when he plays with the "big" kids.  Those that know him well know that he has the biggest smile that lights up his eyes, and know that he is a fun loving, silly boy!  Luke has started to talk more and more, he tries to say words more than ever, and he loves to tell us things.  I think about 80% of his words are in Dutch, he loves to speak Dutch!  He also really likes to "count," he points to items one at a time and counts with the same inflections we use...it is so cute!  Luke knows his colors, knows his train characters from Thomas, and knows exactly what he wants.  He is definitely my strong willed child, so he makes some days challenging, but he also has times when he is my most obedient and easy going child.  To say that Luke loves trains is an understatement, he is obsessed with them, cannot get enough play time with his trains.  His favorite toy these days is his train table, he will stand at the bottom of the stairs, point upstairs, and yell choo choo!  If I don't go with him he yanks the gate open and crawls on up.  I did mention his strong willed attitude, right?  Luke also loves to watch trains on TV, Thomas the Train and Chuggington are his favorite shows, he could watch them all day!  Luke is crazy about his little sister, when she is on the ground or in her car seat on the ground he will run to her, kneel down, get in her face, and "talk" to her in a high pitched sweet voice.  He also kisses her on the head and puts her pacifier back in her mouth when it falls out.  He has a major soft spot on his heart for his precious Hannah.

I love Luke with all my heart and am so thankful for him and what he brings to our family!  I cannot wait to watch his personality grow as he learns to talk more and share his heart with us.
