Luke's 1st Birthday: 1 year photo shoot

Here are a few photos from Luke's one-year photo shoot, and a few cute ones of his birthday party thrown in. Next week I'll post a slideshow with the remaining pictures from the birthday festivities.

I'll also take this opportunity to post Luke's one-year stats. He is 32.5 inches tall (98th percentile) and about 25 pounds (84th percentile). He gained height but very little weight from his 9 month appointment.

The other big milestone related news is that he has taken his first steps! Last Thursday (9/8) he took seven steps as he walked from Matthew to me. Since then he's done a few here and a few there and moves from one supporting object to another pretty easily. I still wouldn't say he's "walking," but is getting there. We haven't managed to catch it on video yet, but when we do the walking milestone will get a proper post.
