15 months

Our little man reached the 15 month mark last week! At his first visit with our new pediatrician, we learned that Luke is now about 32.5" tall (89th percentile) and weighs 23 lb., 7 oz. (34th percentile). Don't be fooled by his lightweight status, though — this guy can eat! He has been known to put away 6 regular-sized pancakes in a single sitting, and if Nathan walks away from the table without finishing his meal, Luke is almost certain to come along behind him to help himself to what's left on Brother's plate. This is often a good motivator for Nate to stay seated and eat his food — ha!

Luke's love for Thomas the train shouldn't surprise me (after all, his brother lived and breathed Thomas for a good year and a half of his life), but it tickles me nonetheless...

Lukey also gravitates to anything Old MacDonald or farm animals, and he delights in telling you what sound each animal makes. He is a good little communicator and understands much of what we say to him, too. He is still very much a mama's boy and a snuggle bug.
