Don't Worry, Be Happy!

This morning Luke told me "don't worry, be happy" and was then trying to sing the song!  He is such a sweetheart!  He is talking like crazy, at night when I rock him he does not stop, so I literally lay him down while he jabbers away!  The big boy bed is going up this weekend, and I will most definitely post pictures. 

Getting ready for Halloween!

Upset because I took his binky!



This is where Mel spends her days!

Playing

Luke loves to line things up in a row
especially vehicles!

These stayed lined up for about an hour and
then he started playing with them again!

Sick Baby...

Poor Luke has been sick the last few days.  It started with cold like symptoms and turned into a fever Saturday evening.  Last night he woke up with a temp of 103.3.  Fortunately, today he seems to be doing better with only a slight temp at 99.6.  His appetite is not that great, although he has had several popsicles and chips (which he requested).  It has to be one of the worst feelings, for a parent, when your child is sick.  I especially find it difficult and am blessed to have Ben there to support me.  He is able to stay level headed.  On a side note, I finally purchased an extra battery and battery charger for our camera, so I plan on taking lots of pictures and will definitely be sharing them on here.  This morning as Ben was leaving for work Luke said, clear as day "drive safe Dad"!  It was the cutest thing and definitely a lesson to be learned, that your child is always listening to what you say.  Luke has also used lines such as "nice to meet you" and "mmm this is tasty".  He is constantly making us smile!

Please say prayers for Luke that he feels better soon!

Bedtime

Smiling with a mouth full of milk, he is such a ham :0)

"Give me that camera mom!"

Family Update!

For some reason I am inspired to start blogging again.  It could be because I joined a MOPS (moms of preschoolers) group and was looking at a bunch of blogs on there, or it could be because people still ask me about updating my blog.  Either way, I'm back!  Haha!

We are getting extremely excited about the new baby boy on the way.  We are having a planned c-section on November 23rd at 8:00am.  I've been feeling well, at my last doctor's appt. the baby was measuring "perfect" and the heart beat was strong.  This pregnancy has been almost a mirror image of my pregnancy with Luke, so I've been pretty prepared and have had very few surprises!

Luke is 22 months old and is wonderful!  He has the best personality and is now speaking in full sentences.  He will repeat anything you say, so we definitely have to be careful!  He is growing so fast and is very independent.  I hear "no, I do" several times a day.  I think he is looking more and more like Ben, especially with his facial expressions.  He loves sports, trains, coloring, and reading books.  He has gotten much better about eating his vegetables!  I think he is starting to grasp that there is a baby in mommy's belly.  The other day he pointed to my belly, laughed, and said "big belly"... It was hilarious!

Since I am now motivated to blog, check back for weekly updates!  I'll post pictures soon!
