First Date

We had a fun weekend back in Fredericksburg for my friend Michelle's Bachellorette party. Luke got to spend the weekend with my mom and his future girlfriend Mary Margaret (and her grandma) out at the ranch too.

Great Great Pawpaw

I'll post more on this later, but we had the chance to get a picture of five generations of McMillins/Merricks in Fort Worth last week. How sweet is this one of Luke looking at his Great Great Grandpa?

Luke loves the slide

I took Luke to the park on Friday and found the perfect baby-sized slide for him. I realized our baby is getting big when he started scooting himself forward to go down without my help. It caught me by surprise that he would even know how to do that. We went back today with Michael so he could see. Thought the grandparents would enjoy it too.

He's not so big that he doesn't need to be sucking his thumb while sliding though.

Will walk for ice cream

and for my Grandmas....



Lots of videos from us, the Vagabond Merricks, lately. The more stationary Merricks and Langleys are requesting some more videos of Luke walking since they aren't able to see this first hand right now.

We miss all of you!!

One more

Walking??

Lately he has been getting a lot more confident and sturdy with the steps. I feel like he turned a leaf tonight though and was walking all over the place. I was finally able to get some decent footage.

Slow down Lukey. We will be chasing you soon enough.

Learning to share

Being the headstrong firstborn that he is, I was already starting to worry a little about Luke's ability to share. I am proud to say he is catching on quite nicely. We'll see if this continues when it's a brother or sister that he needs to share with. For now this makes us happy.
