Jay Ray

Now for those of you who are not from Mobile, this post will mean nothing to you. But for all of you Mobilians and former Mobilians, you will all get it. Now that Luke is trying so hard to walk, shoes are a must! Especially, since Mimi got Luke's fancy Easter outfit the other day. It seemed only fitting that Luke have his first shoe fitting at Jay Ray. I can remember when Jay Ray was up on Old Shell road and we would got and get fitting for shoes at least two times a year. Once for our fancy Easter shoes and once for our school saddle oxfords. Jay Ray is family owned and the teenage daughter who helped fit me all of those years ago is now owns the store and is gray headed! We ended up with some white rubber soled (since our house has hard wood floors) stride rites that will be nice enough to wear with his Easter outfit. What a tradition to be passed down.... I am sure we will be shopping at Jay Ray for many years to come!

Where is Luke?

Where is Luke???

The Greats!!!

We went home to comfort my great grandmother Marion because great granddaddy Buddy passed away. We went home a week ago Sunday and got to spend all week in Mobile. The funeral was on Wednesday and My Great Grandmother marion was already getting a cold, so I didn't get to see her too much or cheer her up like I wanted. We love you and will get to visit much more when we are home for Easter.
Just hanging with Great Granddaddy Jack. He is one cool dude!
Look at me in my big boy shoes!!!
Look at how pretty my Great Grandmother Betty's new hair do is!

Cheerio Video

Lukie started on cheerios earlier this week. We still can't decide if he likes them or not. He makes the most awful faces, but they crack me and his daddy up! (P.S. Look Uncle Dave, I don't even have to soak them in water!)

Walking with Mom

I love to walk, but I am still a little unsteady so my mom and dad help me practice. I am so proud of myself and I can't wait until I get to walk all by myself.

Future Flirt and Fun with Dad

Hi, my name is Luke...How you doin'?

(Do I look like a total flirt or what?)
Look at how tall I am sitting on Dad's shoulders!
Is it just me or do we have the same smile and nose???

Crawling obstacles

I know it looks like a tornado touched down in our living room, but this is what mom and dad have to do to keep me somewhat confined. Although, I have gotten pretty good at crawling over the pillow and blanket obstacle courses, it at least slows me down just a little bit : )
