Happy 10 Month Birthday

Luke turned 10 month's old on December 27th. Here are some more things that happened during his 10th month of life, that you haven't seen yet:
  • Pulled something off the coffee table for the first time
  • Started eating okra, honeydew, white potatoes, & graham crackers (well, sometimes he put these in his mouth)
  • Started having 3 baths a week
  • Started sleeping with his bottom up in the air & I stopped turning him over since he obviously preferred this way
  • Started holding his ears when eating solids and drinking from the bottle
  • Reduced his milk at every feeding so he would eat more solids (increased to 6-8 Tablespoons)
  • Discovered his rainforest crib toy because he didn't want to sleep in the afternoon some days
  • Fell off our bed for the 1st (& hopefully only) time. He'd taken a nap on there the day before while we were getting ready to go. We were going to let him do that again. I was in Luke's room, Matt was in the garage. I went into the kitchen & Luke was crawling around his highchair. I asked Matt why he got him down (b/c he was supposed to be going to sleep). He looked at me with wide eyes, knowing he didn't get him down, and now that I had not gotten him down either. I had heard a loud cry that lasted @ 2 sec. & I just thought he'd seen Matt & he was still in that I'm not going to give in to sleep faze. I never heard a big boom!
and......

Had a very fashionable Momma! The t-shirt and slippers were add-ons after church.

PlayedTook our Christmas card picture. His matching hat was too small :0)

Got a special package in the mail!!
Outgrew his 9 month clothes- the one piece outfits were the worst!
These pajamas were the first 12 month clothes he wore.
Matt and I went to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory with Neal & Shaunda. It was fun having a double date and going to one of my favorite places!
Luke got to hang out with Grampa & Grammie while we were gone.
Got his first major cold! Despite suctioning right before bed, he'd wake up with a crusty little nose. Thankfully his fever didn't get very high!
As you can see, he outgrew his playmat. So it was replaced....
with a new jungle toy. He started pulling up all the time on this & if he was next to somebody.

Awww yes, he was in his first wreck. It involved BOTH of our parent's cars!! We had borrowed 'Blue' from my parents so that we'd have enough room to tote presents & all of our luggage over for our Christmas in a few days. Matt's parents came over for a birthday celebration. We all got to ride together to dinner since we had a big vehicle. As we were backing out of the driveway, suddenly their car appeared :0) Thankfully the only injuries were 2 bumpers!
We came back and had oh so yummy cake from
Julia's Bakery!
Showed me I was REALLY behind on dusting!
Was so cute!

Merry Christmas to All

Wow! The tree sure isn't bare anymore (remember this). Do you see someone snooping?
Our sweet little elf!
Rory the Rocking Lion was one of Luke's favorites!
Daddy got Jasie the best treats.
He only went so far as doing a smell test :0)
Silly Daddy :0)
I have waited a LONG time to go to Build a Bear. It was SOOOO much fun, and I can't wait until Luke is old enough to build his own. Frosty was made by me and Daddy, complete with a birth certificate and a special message from us!
Good job Sweetie! I love them!
Now that we don't watch Friends or 24 while eating dinner in the den, Jasie needed a bed in the kitchen. This pretty pink one is the replacement for the one that used to be on our bed.
Matt's new hobby is collecting golf balls. I am much more in favor of this than model race cars :0)
This is my reaction to my absolute favorite gift!
Matt went to a paint your own pottery shop to make this oh so precious frame!
This is actually our VERY favorite gift!
Luke really hit the jackpot at Pa & MeMa's! This pile of clothes is actually bigger than it appears!
Jasie is much more willing to wear a bandanna than a sweater :0)
My favorite gifts to give this year were calendars. MeMa has 11 months of Luke (and 1 of me with a BIG belly).
Pa is holding a ball retriever, which he "needs to get Matt's golf balls that somehow end up in the water".
Sooooo sweet with his new sleeping buddy!
Luke and I spent the evening with Grampa & Grammie while Pa & Daddy went to the Titans game.
Jasie was just as sad as us about the loss that knocked us out of playoff contentions.
