It was a beautiful spring day. On the island we took Luke to the petting zoo, let him splash around in the kids water play area, drove a big tractor,and he had a little fish with his dad. 
There is a beautiful park by the Lake just a 5 min walk from our condo. It was Luke's first time at a park and he loved every minute of it.
He also had his first taste of a popsicle.
You can see from the picture that it wasn't clear if he liked it or hated it. 
Thanks Pat, Jeannette and Layla for coming to visit us in Toronto. We had an amazing week! Luke was so happy to have company and was so excited every morning to wake up to Layla saying "Good morning Luke". The two of them had a great time together. Luke thought Layla was so funny. He loved watching her run around the condo and followed her in his walker every chance he got.
such a good little boy. He enjoys his meals, loves music, and has just started pulling himself up in the crib. We practice walking everyday and he is really doing great. Crawling, on the other hand, Luke is not quite interested in. We think he is definitly going to walk before he crawls. Gramma Sheree says that's exactly what his daddy did when he was Luke's age. Like father like son.
Luke is now 7 months old and weighs 23lbs. He has now mastered the skill of walking in his walker which he absolutely loves. 
He zips around the house, loving the freedom to move around from room to room on his own. 
Crawling, on the other hand, is something we're still working on. He's managed to push his chest and little butt up, but not yet at the same time. I think by the end of this month he'll be on his way. Time to baby proof the house! We are all doing really good and looking forward to the warm weather.
It's been pretty cold here these past few weeks so we haven't been outdoors 
much. We are counting the days for when uncle Pat, auntie Jeannette and cousin Layla come to visit. Only 2 more weeks!! Whoohooo! See you all soon.
5,4,3,2,1...Happy New Year!!! Luke was wide awake as we counted down to the New Year. This picture was taken at 12:00am on January 1, 2007 in Beaverlodge, Alberta. Uncle Pat and Auntie Jeannette had a New Years Eve party at their house where we celebrated Luke's first New Years with a house full of family and friends. 
Grandma Sheree and Grandpa Roger were there by Luke's side when the clock struck 12:00. 
It was a wonderful 2006 and we are looking forward to a great 2007. 
Luke a beautifully wrapped present. He was just as excited to open it as we were to watch him. I 
had my camera ready as he pulled off the paper. With dad's help he managed to unwrap an animal choo-choo train. Luke loved it! 
On Halloween night we dressed Luke up as a pumpkin and took him door to door to visit family. Jeff had a great time collecting the treats for Luke knowing well Luke wouldn't be able to eat them....hmmmm ??? 
It was a fun night and Luke looked so cute in his costume! 
Thanksgiving was also a great day with turkey, stuffing, all the trimmings and most importantly a big table with smiling faces all around. It was awsome to be home for the holiday. It was our first family trip and Luke was a great traveller. We are looking forward to seeing everyone again in December when we make our way there to ring in the New Year!
