I Stand! I Have Teeth! I Bathe!

Luke's almost a real boy now. He's practically a professional crawler and he loves to pull up and climb over anything that will stay still. At his 9-month birthday, he had four teeth. His top two are coming in approximately a mile apart from each other, so he might look even more like his mom than he already does.

Luke Travels the World

Okay, so our spoled rotten baby has now been on FOUR major trips. He had already been to Florida last March and New York City in July. In August, he hit two new continents with a trip to Rome, Naples, Sicily, the Greek Islands, and a quick stop in Turkey. You can see Luke and me and Luke and Marty swimming in the Aegean right off the island of Rhodes, and me in Santorini (Luke must have been taking the picture), which might have been the most gorgeous place I've ever seen in my life. The two later pictures are from Luke's September jaunt to Breckenridge, Colorado for our friend Tommy O'Brien's wedding. At this rate, we'll have to send him backpacking through Europe for his 1st birthday...
