Luke Austin Windels

Luke standing up and waving hello,…or maybe goodbye. He can now stand up all by himself from a sitting position. His “Hi, How Are You” shirt is from an iconic Austin mural that’s on the side of a building near the UT campus.

It took a little while, but Luke now has standing-up all figured out. We’re still not sure how the “flapping of the arms” fits into the whole equation, but hey whatever works.  If Luke gets the walking thing down in the next month, he could be the smallest trick-or-treater on the block this Halloween.

In mid-August, we packed up the kid and the dog and headed for New Orleans. Luke had a wonderful time entertaining the family. He can’t wait to make his way back down South. Here are some of the highlights of his trip.

Luke laughs with Bella.

And tumbles with Cappy.

Luke cuddles with Mississippi Grandma and Grandpa.

Luke hangs with Grandpa.

Luke loves his Mimi.

And he gave Nanny a sloppy kiss.

Luke and Paw snacked together.

Luke remembers Nana from her trip to Chicago.

And he got to visit with Nancy and Trace.

If were up to Gerber, Luke would avoid chicken like the plague.
