Cutie Pie has a top tooth!

Daddy can't resist any opportunity to put something on Luke's head!

David got this picture as Luke was climbing on his lap.

I finally got a shot where you can kind of see his top left tooth. As little Alayna would say "what's with that tongue?"

Luke is such a good baby! We were at Oriental Gourmet tonight and there was a kid SCREAMING a few tables over. Luke kept turning around trying to figure out what all the fuss was about. He ate his little puffs and smiled at all the people in the restaurant. I hope our next little one is this happy! I think we're spoiled.

So Glad it's Friday

Tomorrow is Friday!! I'm so glad that we have a three day weekend! I can't even begin to say how exhausting my week has been. I've fallen asleep at 8:30 pm every night only to wake up at 10:30 pm upset because I didn't get Luke's stuff ready for the next day. I then spend at least an hour getting Luke's bottles washed and filled, his bag packed, all my loose ends somewhat tied up, not to mention getting ready for bed. Oh, and then I forget to put things in his bag and in my bag because I'm so tired. I really need to come up with a routine for my never-ending chore list. I'll post pictures tomorrow. I forgot that I was charging the camera until just now when I saw it in the office. Bath time!

MEGA BLOKS

Melissa Hedrick, (a second grade teacher I work with), gave Luke these amazing mega bloks. Thank you so much Melissa! He has a blast rummaging through the colorful giant Lego-like blocks! David and I attempt to "build" little creations and Luke enjoys riping them apart!

There are four little people that came with the bloks and Luke thinks they're pretty neato!

Daddy and Luke playing together

My handsome little fella!

Couldn't resist this shot! Look at those toes!

Throwing socks

I had a bit of a coughing fit while cracking up watching Luke play with socks.

brush, brush, brush my teeth

Luke loves his toothbrush!

Luke played with socks for an hour!!

What a beautiful Boy!

Going back to work and Grauntie's visit

O.k., so it's been a while since I posted last. I hear ya! It's been a busy 5 days. Grauntie Patti came to visit. Yippee! I had my business debut on Saturday, and the last two days have been a blur. Really, I'm sitting here and everything is blurry because I accidentally fell asleep with Luke at 8:30! Work went well today, other than the aching in my stomach from missing Luke every minute. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the pictures and I'll try to post more often.

Grammy's visit

Luke and Grammy playing with Grammy's phone

Luke enjoys reading

Goose muffin!

Hitting Daddy on the head with the remote

Grammy came to visit on Tuesday and went back to El Paso this evening. Luke showed her all of his tricks!

Just for Fun

I found a picture of Jackie, Andy, David and I at our last Lamaze class. Wow, that was almost a year ago!

Casey and Family

Jackie, Andy and Casey came to visit this evening! We had fun eating, catching up and talking about random funny things. We put Casey in the play yard with Luke and he immediately was all over her. I had to prevent him from clobbering her (unintentionally of course). Casey is all girl; she sat sweetly inspecting the toys and books with a gentle cooing sound every once in a while. Luke is all boy; he wanted to speed race through the house pulling up on everything and he even tried to kiss Jackie! Goofball!

Take one

Take two

What cutie pies!

Attack!!

Luke likes to attack Milo. I'm not sure if Milo likes it, or if he's just too fat to move out of the way.

Sound Effects!

Luke and I went to Lakeshore Yacht Club this afternoon to meet with Regina. She converted my MIDI files to Wave files so I can make CD's for my keyboard students. We had a lovely lunch and got to catch up a bit. I forgot the camera, so you'll have to trust me. :0)

Luke ate spring vegetables and brown rice this evening and had a blast making sound effects between each spoonful. The snorting you hear is me. I was trying to be quiet so you could hear him, but I just couldn't help but laugh.

Orange?

So I was wondering: "Is it me or is Luke's nose looking a little orange?" I Googled the words orange, nose and baby and I found out that it's the beta carotene in the baby food he's been eating. I'm going to cut down on the carrots, sweet potatoes and squash.

Check out all my toys!

Hey!

Yummy!

I'm gonna get that leaf.

Not Happy!

Playing with Daddy

Daddy preventing Luke from crawling away

Sometimes you just gotta kiss his beautiful head!

Aha! Mommy's phone!

So sweet!

Saturday Already?

Milo helped me unpack my Mary Kay inventory. It was so much fun!

Luke got little Gerber puffs all over his outfit when he fed himself in his Jumperoo!

Luke reading "The Very Hungry Caterpillar"

Sorry it's been so long since I posted last. I've been busy getting my inventory labeled and organized. It's been so much fun getting my business going! If you're interested, check out my website: www.marykay.com/mamelung

Luke is feeding himself all the time now. Sue told me that he would feed himself a puff and take a drink of water from his sippy cup. How cute is that! The funny part about Luke shoving puffs in his mouth is that 50% of the time he misses and they get semi-glued to his shirt or his shorts!

David and I are still amazed that Luke loves to play with water bottles. He'll play with a water bottle for 15 minutes. He especially likes talking to and biting the water bottles. Kids these days!

Luke and I have a new game; Luke crawls as fast as he can from one end of the couch to the other and I grab him and carry him back to his starting position. We did this about 10-12 times this evening and it made him giggle every time. He thinks it's particularly funny when I hide behind the couch and say "boo" right as he rounds the corner.

Pastor Hageman is preaching about healing tomorrow at church, and I will be one of the people who shares a short "cardboard testimony" of my healing. What we're doing is making before and after statements on a piece of cardboard and holding them up at the end of the service. Since I went through a really painful miscarriage in October of 2006 and suffered severe depression my cardboard testimony will be. "Severe depression after miscarriage" "Unspeakable Joy: We had a Boy!". If you'd like to see how another church did their testimonies go to this site. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvDDc5RB6FQ (Have the kleenex ready!)
