Goofy

"Now be honest. Does this tongue go with my eyes?"

Just when you thought Cheetos could not get better, Paw finds some that turn your mouth blue!

Ammmmnils!

Luke loves animals of all shapes and sizes. We went to Race Brothers this weekend and he was pretty excited about their animal display. He talked about AMMMMMNILS all weekend. Everyone got a kick out of him in the store. I also got a chance to try out my video camera on my phone (which isn't the greatest but certainly better than nothing). Luke has a new favorite store!

8th Tidbit

You are OBSESSED with helping me eat my salad. I eat a lot of salads. You want to help "shaky, shaky" them in the bowl. You want to help take the lid off. You want to have your own "sfoomahhhhh" (spoon). The salad bowl must remain on your tray at all times or I hear about it! You eat all the raw onions, green peppers, and black beans you can shovel in with your baby spoon. You grunt while you try to break up the salad chunks and you LOVE every minute of it. I don't think I will be eating a salad at the table for a very long time!

Month Nineteen

Dear Luke,

Fall is in the air and it is exciting! We have been out and about to do many fall activities. You think pumpkins are absolutely delightful. We are taking you to get a costume this weekend. It should be fun!

Each night Dad likes to review some of his favorite words with you. He has you imitate him and then we all giggle. Some of these favorite words are, "zingahs, burgers (boogahs), awesome, slam dunk (see kunk), touchdown, binky (binka, binka, binka) and scoobies". Some of these words have significance for different reasons but they all make us giggle.

Each time we go to the gym you say "money" as soon as we pull up to park. You want to make sure that I have two quarters to put into the machine to get some "tips" (chips). You sprint into the building and run over to the machine to watch the chips drop. This always makes you grin from ear to ear.

Your very first sentence popped out yesterday. Out of nowhere you said, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!" I'm pretty sure that Grandma has been practicing that with you. The work paid off. We were totally delighted. Daddy's birthday is coming up in a few weeks and he already got the coolest gift from you!

You just do things all the time to make us giggle. The other day Mariah Carey was on TV and you stopped dead in your tracks and pointed to the TV and said, "MAMA!" You got some extra sugar from Mom that night! I don't get mistaken for pop stars often!

You were very, very sick a week ago. Daddy and I heard you in the middle of the night. You were throwing up in bed. That was such a pitiful sight. We brought you out to the couch/ottoman with us and we camped out for most of the night. We spent the next few days watching you closely. Thank goodness you were thirsty. You kept fluids in you this time but we knew you were feeling terrible because you didn't eat much at all. That is certainly not like you! Daddy and I felt very helpless while you were sick but we all shared the sickness and got some pretty good bonding/snuggle time.

Happy big 1-9! We are looking forward to the holiday season right around the corner. We are going to show you so many fun things! We love you with all our hearts!

Too Cute Part One

Luke had his first crunchy cheetos last weekend (they were all out of the healthy whole grain graduate puffs). They must have made an impression. When we were walking tonight he ran right up to this object and shouted, "CHEETOS, CHEETOS!!" I do believe this is where he things they are grown!

Puh-kins!

Luke hit a pumpkin patch today and loved it. All he said for 30 minutes was "puh-kin" PUH-KINN!!!" It was very difficult for him to leave his little patch. We brought home some treasures though. He won't quit playing with them. He likes the black one and the bumpy one the most. He likes to whisper, "bumpy, bummmmpy". Notice the little black eye. That is courtesy of his new favorite way to get from point A to point B. He has to run, run, run and he still isn't quite coordinated enough yet.
