Santa at the Park

We took Luke to see Santa at the park a couple of weeks ago.  Luke did okay at first, but once he realized that a furry man was holding him he kind of freaked out....can't say that I blame him.

Bundled Up!

So sweet.....thats all I have to say :)

Colin's Blocks

We went over to the Johansen's house recently and Colin was nice enough to share his Noah's Ark blocks with Luke.....hope he doesn't mind the slobber!

Buck and Biscuits

Luke has been playing with a new toy lately....Buck.  This was actually one of Makayla's bath toys that she played with at our house, but Luke has taken it over.  He loves playing with Buck and he is looking forward to the day he can go hunting with Uncle Bub!

Luke got his first taste of buttermilk biscuits last Saturday morning when Dad made breakfast.  It was the first time that we all set down as a family and ate the same breakfast!! 

 

 

Eating Dirt

I knew it was going to happen sooner or later, but I wasn't expecting it so soon.......my sweet little boy ate DIRT! He was in his walker while I was putting up the tree and the next thing I knew he was eating right out of the pot! He sure is cute, even when he eats dirt!!

Wagon

Papa is going to be in Colombia this year for Christmas so he gave Luke his Christmas present early.....a Radio Flyer Wagon!!!! The first night Luke was only able to sit in it briefly, but the next morning we took it for a spin (around the house)! Luke really liked the tour of the house with his favorite toys in hand. Thanks Papa!!

Cracker

Luke got his first taste of a club cracker and he seemed to like it!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Again, I am really behind in my postings - but better late than never, right?

Luke spent his first Thanksgiving at GiGi's house. My mom decided that she would host the event this year and boy did my family show up!! She fed 49 mouths that day -- CRAZY!!! Andy's family was able to come over, too, so it was really great to have everyone in one place.

The not so great part about Thanksgiving was that Luke was still sick and he had a ROUGH day. I am pretty sure he ended up getting 3 baths that day (if you can use baths as a sickness indicator). He was very clingy and wanted Mommy and Daddy ONLY. He didn't get to eat the baby food Turkey and Cranberries that I bought him, but we went ahead and put his Thanksgiving bib on for good measure (see only pic of him in it below with Uncle Bub trying to make him happy). On the bright side, by the end of the night he did find some energy and was able to jump and smile for about 30 minutes (this gave us a false sense of hope that the sickness was over -- wishful thinking).

Aunt Sarah

This pic was taken in the midst of him not feeling so hot, but he still loved spending time with his Aunt Sarah!
