Where I've been

The last couple of month's have been filled with a busy toddler and a growing baby. I think it's the growing baby part that's required me to have more rest. I want to blog SO badly because you've got to see our sweet boy! I promise to pick up where I left off soon! Today I've got to try to work on our 2009 taxes!! That extension time is running out. I hope you have a joyous day as you complete your daily tasks, whether they are done timely or not :0)

All I Need is Love

We had our Valentine's exchange before heading to Eric & Lydia's for a fun party with yummy treats!

Our First Science Adventure

We enjoyed our first trip to the Adventure Science Center (formally Cumberland Science Museum) on a cold February day.

If we are out in public, most of the time we give Luke jarred food. This was his first time to have a veg./beef mixture (What? They can't even tell you what's actually in it!). He liked it after daddy heated it up!

I thought I would show Luke how much fun the slide was before I took him down with me. I'm glad I tried it out first because it was kind of fast and I'm pretty sure he wouldn't like being enclosed.

Later that evening Matt and Pa finished installing the gates. I think it was much easier installing the 2nd one.

Check out these moves :0)

We ended the day with some special Valentine treats from Pa and MeMa.

Luke kissed his bear as soon as he saw it. So sweet!

Great grandma's think alike!

An Early Birthday Present

Luke was really enjoying cruising around the furniture, etc. so we thought he might like to have his walking toy a few weeks before his birthday. He and Harry became best friends right from the beginning.

Woof Woof

At the beginning of February, Luke decided to try out the stairs leading to our bonus room. I had gone upstairs to grab something & when I came down 1 min. later he was on the 2nd stair!! Needless to say, I don't have a picture of that, but these are some pictures from the night Pa & MeMa came over to help install gates.
Luke's bib must have inspired him to play with Jasie's toy. Pa even thought he might start barking :0)

3 inches

Started like this on 1/29... Daddy took Luke out for a quick view before bed.

This is what it looked like the next day. (Notice the footprints above were covered with fresh snow!)

This was the fourth time it snowed since Luke was born.

Our neighbors across the street built the largest snowman I've ever seen!

I can remember wearing layers, layers, and more layers when I was little. Well, that's definitely what Luke got to experience.

Notice how happy he is when they finally all get peeled off :0)

Day 2- Getting ready to go out.

Luke's 1st sled :0)

I don't think he liked the ride with daddy any better, but everything was fine once he got out.

Jasie didn't want to have anything to do with it. It was sad that we weren't able to build a snowman or even make a snowball since ice fell overnight and made it too crunchy, but we could still make a snow angel!

We were so glad that daddy didn't have to go teach his weekend class and got to play with us in the biggest snow I can remember in a long time!

Later that night we were able to make it out to our pre-scheduled 5th Sunday bowling outing. Luke just happened to have the perfect shirt!
