Is Winter Over Yet???

I'm going to say it again.....I'm sick of winter! Although it does in my mind give me an excuse to be lazy ( no washing cars, mowing grass, watering flowers, etc) and connotates sipping hot chocolate at night with my hubby, watching movies while the beautiful snow is coming down, this is not usually the reality! Instead it's sipping water inbetween making dinner for my hubby and feeding Luke and throwing in laundry and doing dishes.....getting home from work at 8pm or leaving for work at 6pm. Eating at 9pm myself after everyone is taken care of and things are cleaned up a little. So yes....bring on the car washing, grass mowing and flower watering. I just want to get outside of the house and have it be above 20 degrees! Go for walks with Luke in the wagon and play at the park. Anyhow, enough of that! Spring will be here sometime....just not soon enough. (In July I'll be complaining about the intense humidity and 95 degree days and still not being able to get outside cause it's too HOT! :) Bear with me :)

Onto more important things.

Luke has 4 official teeth with another on the way. They don't seem to bother him and he rather enjoys using them to gnaw on things. The only problem was when he accidently bit himself :)

He has mastered the stairs up and down.

LOVES climbing in the shower with daddy or me.

Clearly says "mom" "mom" now. Not even really ma ma....he adds the "m". He otherwise babbles up a storm thinking he's really talking.

He likes to play with the hand made wooden train the his great grandma Kandel got him.

Loves touchy feely books and his flash cards.

Likes just about any food we eat.....wants to feed himself of course.

Still not too interesed in walking.....lazy butt! He's just so quick on his hands and knees he knows he can get there fast. He may walk later than his mommy did (14 months).

When he lays down for bed time or naps, he points to his fishy mobile to turn it on and then points to the CD player for the music. Then giggles.


I just love baby feet, what can I say??



So does Luke I guess :)


I just love these few bath pictures and his cute little face and smile!! Love seeing those teeth finally!



Lookin at daddy :)

This is a relatively new face he likes to make.....attractive huh?


Another cute smile.


Mmmm, Mmmmm, good!



This was Luke's official first time out in the snow. Just decided to do it one afternoon. He's just checking it out with the tips of his fingers......


And this is how he decided he felt about it! He of course wouldn't put on a hat or gloves. If I had frostbite on my fingers I'd hate the snow too :)



Loving his birthday present. He likes to climb on and off it and push all the buttons. As far as riding goes though, he can only move it backward. Silly boy!



Luke stole daddy's cereal bowl (my husband is not normal.....that bowl is HUGE!) and poured the little bit of milk left in it on his head.



Sticky hair!



See what happens when mommy's at work.....baby gets drunk!



Thinking daddy's swiss army knife is a phone. I attribute this to the alcohol as well!





Playing wtih his wagon and blocks......throwing then out, putting them back in........

Update






Not a whole lot to update on, but I have a couple of cute videos and Luke's 1 year pics to post. He did have a mild case of the flu last weekend, but is fine now :) It's so awful to see your baby sick :(




Climbing the stairs :)



1 Year Old Pictures














Ornery face!











"Counting" his pictures


Luke REALLY enjoys bananas!!





Awww....poor baby! :(



Now I'm happy!!




Luke's first ride in the big boy car seat.....that does NOT look comfortable ( He was riding with daddy by the way)






Below is the cornhole set that David painted for my parents (their Christmas present from last last year). I thought he did a GREAT job! So talented :)









Hmmm............
