Temple Lights

I tried to get Luke to look at me but he was glued to the many lights.  

Here I am in all my glory. 31 weeks! Yipee. I can't believe this little girl will be here in 9 weeks!

Birthday Boy, Sick Boy

Luke turned 1 year old on Friday. We drove down to Yuma on Friday, but Luke was not feeling that great. On Saturday he still had a runny nose and fever. Sunday he was feeling better so we celebrated his birthday at my parents house. He was still a little tired and not quite himself. We got some cute pictures.

Uncle Kurt gave him a mohawk for his special day. 

Luke got a basketball, football, and soccer ball for his birthday. He seems to favor the basketball and could care less about the football. We see if this still rings true in a couple of years.

These are a few of my favorite things

Luke is walking and talking (if you call gibber gabber talking). He can say a few words which happen to be his favorite things.

 "Ball" Luke loves to play with balls. He calls anything remotely round a ball. I gave him a boiled egg to eat and he said "ball" then took a large bite.

 "Bubble" My babysitter has a bubble machine and Luke goes crazy. I keep small Halloween bubbles in the diaper bag. It has saved me a time or two with a cranky baby. Bubble can often be confused with "bottle" which I think he can say now or he is just calling his milk a bubble.

 "Book" I found him the other day just like this going through his box of books. We take lots of books to church.

"Dad" and "Dog" He most favorite word is Dad! Eric is so great at getting down and playing with him.
He also loves dogs, especially little ones he can chase after.

He finally started to say "Mama". I think I call him baby too often because he says baby perfectly. I taught him to point to my tummy and say baby. I don't know how much he really understands because this morning he pointed to his tummy and said "baby".

10 1/2 months

He has 6 teeth and love to eat.  

Here are some pictures I took back in the end of October. My little boy is getting so big.
