Luke is 2!!!!!

It is so hard to believe that our little boy is two today!! We are so blessed and grateful that God has allowed us to be his parents. He is such a sweet, amazing boy and we love watching him learn and grow. I tried to get his annual birthday picture in the chair, but he wasn't cooperating, so I will have to try again later today. I'll be sure to post it then. Luke's party is Saturday afternoon and most of his cousins and aunts and uncles will be there, including my family. Aunt Emily--the cake master--is going to try her hand at another awesome cake this year. I'll leave you in suspense as to what she's going to make! :) Here are some stats about Luke at two:
* has a vocabulary so big, I have no idea how many words he knows--easily a couple hundred I would guess
* knows tons of animals and animal sounds
* knows his main body parts (arms, legs, elbows, knees, nose, eyes, mouth, chin, cheeks, etc. etc.)
* still LOVES to read
* absolutely loves anything with wheels--cars, trains, planes, buses, tractors, motorcycles, etc.
* is becoming a little more picky when it comes to food--things he used to eat he now turns his nose up at.
* enjoys watching Sesame Street and Veggie Tales (though we limit his tv to just an hour or two per week, if that)
* imitates everything we do--it's made us really careful what we do and say around him! ;)
* can jump and dance
* has an amazing memory
* can count from 1 to 10, though he still usually skips 5 for some reason
* whenever we pull into our subdivision after going somewhere, he says, "Yea! We made it!"
* is not really into potty training yet. Jonathan can almost always get him to go before a bath, but I just haven't had the energy to really crack down on it yet and I honestly don't think he's ready.
* points to my belly and says, "baby sister"
* makes us SOOOO very happy!!
