First of all, my deepest apologies for such a belated post! I don't know how many of you check my blog periodically for updates, but I'm sorry that you haven't found anything for quite some time
Unfortunately now, as I have a minute to post the past few weeks (months!), my computer is dead (hopefully only temporarily) and I can't access my pictures at the moment to post the most recent ones. I still have them on my card, but don't want to bombard David's computer with any extras since it's a GUARANTEE that if ANYTHING would happen to his computer ANYTIME in the next 10 years, ALL blame would be on me. So I am trying not to do anything that would put his computer at risk. I had uploaded a few pictures about 2 weeks ago (a few that are already on facebook), and that's all I have for you now.
We've been quite busy with the basement the past month or so. David hasn't had much work at all during that time, so although our income has suffered, it HAS provided time for him to get the basement completed. We are actually supposed to get the carpet insalled tomorrow! It was supposed to be next Tues, but they called and wanted to move the time up.... still lots of touch up painting that needs done first, so we'll be busting our butts to get that done before they come tomorrow. There will definitely be pictures to follow. It'll be WONDERFUL to have a new space that I can store Luke's toys and he can play! I'll have my living room back! YIPEE! It's the little things in life folks.
Luke turned 2 on January 21 and we had a small party for him the 17th. He seemed to enjoy all the balloons, the present of course and the cake! It was cute to watch him get excited about the gifts he was opening and wanting to play with them. I just can't believe the little guy is 2! When I look back at his baby pictures, it seems like I'm looking at some other child...could my doodlebug have possibly been that small? It seems like a lifetime ago, yet just like yesterday that he was a 7 pound infant. He's talking all the time and has even referred to me as "Angela"! Ornery little booger, that's for sure. He has been using the potty on a semi-regular basis...around bed/bath time especially. If I let him run around with his diaper off he is more likely to pee in the potty then. Sometimes it's with mention of needing to go from me, and other times he does it completely on his own then comes to tell me. On Valentine's Day he went poopy for the first time on it! I was so excited for him!! He had his 2 year check up in late Jan and got a clean bill of health! I've certainly lucked out in that regard with the litte guy. He's only had a few little colds in his 2 years of life. No awful upper respiratory illnesses, no ear infections, no GI flu....praise the Lord for that! Surprising with all the furry creatures we have around this place :) Anyhow his new measurements are....
Weight: 29 lbs (with clothes and wet diaper on)
Height: 34 inches.
His ht and wt are now closer to the same percentile. His first year his wt was always lower than the Dr. wanted, but he's certainly caught up! The kid can eat! So now he's around 55-65% for both :).
Luke loves dinosaurs, Clifford, Nemo, hitting balls, getting dizzy (or as he says "get busy"), jumping off of things, "playing" Wii, reading books, coloring...all the typical toddleresque things. He pretty much will eat anything we do. LOVES pancakes and PB and J sandwiches, but also green beans, cottage cheese, and just about any kind of fruit! I don't know how long his tastes for these things will last, but hopefully forever.....good luck with that I know.
That's about it for now from my end. The only thing I want to say is....I'm SICK of winter! Although it IS a good excuse to stay in my jammies all day with Luke when I'm off, I'm certainly beyond ready for some warm, sunny, DRY, days! I'm sure many of you feel the same way. I'll hopefully get my computer back up and running before long and can provide some updated shots of my ornery son.
