I was pleased as punch with myself today! Well, the whole fam decided to take an afternoon nap since I had kept them up until 4am this morning. When dad got up to check on me, this is what he found...... Oh yeah, I am the coolest....look what I can do! When dad got mom, she was scared to death! I still think it was my best trick yet.
I guess I will still get to practice my new trick even though shortly after this picture was taken, my daddy lowered my matress :)
I have to do the taste test on EVERYthing to make sure they pass my standards!
Fun times! I can't wait to get my mouth on those!
I had to continue the Murphy tradition and put one of the bows on my head!
Look at all my loot! Thanks Mamaw, Papaw and Aunt Christy! 
Thanks for my long john's Aunt Karen and Uncle Donald....Mom has to wash them before I wear them, but I will be sure to show them off very soon!
Ohhhh....paper....how much fun! ...Oh, you mean there is something else under the paper for me to play with?! This just gets better and better!
Yeah!....More paper!!!!! Thanks for the super cool drums and lion slippers. You rock, Aunt Alyssa, Uncle Eddie, Madison and Jared! 
I am already asserting some independence. I have, as you know, started crawling, and I already have three vegetables on my plate (green peas, green beans and sweet potatoes). Well, just this week, I have started trying to hold the bottle on my own and I have gotten pretty good at it. My mommy says that I am growing up too fast, but she is getting used to the idea- she has no choice!I know my name now . I will look at the person when I hear my name. I love playing with Mom's wooden spoon and plastic bowl...maybe I will be a future drummer???
"Lukie, what are you doing???......"
"You talkin' to me?"
"Sorry, mommy, I thought is was Christmas already!"
