Say Yes

This is sort of a belated post but I love love love looking through my wedding photos and reminiscing on that special day. Eric and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary a couple of weeks ago on January 15th. We didn't do anything too special which is the part I loved. We spend the day getting ready for the baby and went out to dinner. It also marked the end of my two week stent of bed red from weeks 34 to 36. During those two weeks I must admit I netflixed several episodes of Say Yes to the Dress. Yes I still love my dress and still love the man I married that day.

  I love how you can see Eric in the reflection of the door. 

First Hair Cut

Since I now have all sorts of time on my hands. I thought I would do some back blogging. Here is Luke's first hair cut. He looked like a little man. As expected he cried through most of it.

Bye bye baby mullet 

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.

Thriller Nights

Eric has made fun of me relentlessly for my love of the 80's and dressing up. Most of my college pictures have some form of dress up for some theme party. This year my husband joined in the effort. He dragged his feet a little at first, but after a trip to DI I discovered he loved the 80's much more than me. We even listened to Guns and Roses while getting ready. Our ward hosted a big festival combine with 2 other wards. So we were off with crimped hair, Billy Idol hair, pegged jeans, high tops, gold chain, pink and turquoise galore, and one crazy monkey. (Yeah for big sweaters being in I'm 25 weeks!) Eric and I joked about being his older siblings Jonathan and Jennifer. Jen informed me that while crimping was a valiant effort to dress up like her in the 80's, my hair needed to be much bigger and my earrings also. Gotta love it!
