Play Date!

Mom and I had a play date with Morganne, Braydon, and Mrs. Stephanie today at their house in Brewster. Morganne and I took a little pause in the action to pose for this pic. It is so much fun to play at Morganne's because she has so many toys and there is so much room to run around. 

When the Hills used to live closer to us in Yonkers, our weekly play dates would pretty much always consist of some sort of shopping and today was no different. We headed out to the Christmas Tree Shop and Mom and Mrs. Stephanie did some damage today, but they justified ALL of their purchases because it IS almost Easter and our birthdays ARE just a few months away. Mom sure is going to miss this store when we move!

Babies, Babies Everywhere!

I seem to have babies on the brain a lot these days, and NO, I am not pregnant! But after I my two good friends up here in NY had babies in January and I just found out that my very best friend is having a little one this fall, it has had me thinking back to Luke's newborn days. I remember how tired we were and how new everything was and overwhelming and exciting all at the same time. I remember realizing how profound and deep my love was for this tiny little person that was placed in our care. I remember and continue to realize EVERY day how much my mom and dad love me because I now know how deep the parent-child love runs. I feel so blessed to have such a happy and healthy little boy! In all of my reminiscing, I found this picture of Luke when he was 3 weeks old and it just makes me happy. 

P.S. For my friend... and you know who you are....This is an OFFICIAL pleading....you simply MUST start your blog ASAP! It's gonna be GREAT! 

Happy Babies!!! 

Our Resident Comedian!

Luke keeps us on our toes and keeps us rolling on the floor laughing every single day! The things this kid comes up with is hilarious! Here are just a few of his recent antics...

The other night we were all cleaning up his toys for the night (we were mostly supervising and he was doing most of the work. oh btw, aren't his new shoes cute?-we got them at the Crazy 8 store in Jersey for $3.98, quite the steal... but I digress) He had put the last toy in the basket and Jeremy told Luke to give him 5, which he did, and in true Luke fashion he had to give everyone else in the room 5 too. Since I was the only other person here after he got my 5 he ran over to Elmo, lifted up his arm and made Elmo give him 5. It was classic and we almost died laughing :)

Luke truly is a little monkey these days and ANY and EVERY thing we do, he wants to do, too. He loves to stand on his "Luke" stool and brush his teeth. I wonder how long this will last before he decides this "game" is no longer fun?

He has watched us put on our deodorant so many times that he has decided that this travel wipe container has become HIS deodorant, so everytime he gets his hands on it he has to "put" on his deodorant. It is too funny. Oh, he has also decided that hats are not all that bad. He went through a period of time when he refused to wear a hat, even when it was FREEZING outside. But the last few weeks he asks to put on his hat and will even wear it around the house. This has been his staple hat this winter. (My sweet friend and co-worker, Erin, knitted it for him when he was born.)

Another funny story: we were sitting at P.F. Changs the other night and they had sat us next to the window. Jeremy and I were talking and all the sudden we heard him say "BUS." I looked over at him and sure enough he was pointing out the window to a real bus. We were on a pretty busy intersection and literally EVERY time he saw a bus he yelled out "BUS". It totally cracked us up. Luke keeps us royally entertained and it seems like he is learning new words everyday. One of his new favorite words is "GOSH." Jeremy even said that he woke up one day and instead of saying Momma or Dada, like he normally does, he said "Oh, Gosh!" He is also saying "Amen" after our nightly prayers now. You can just see the wheels in his little mind working and learning things everyday. He is so much fun and such a joy. We can't wait to see what he comes up with next :)

Braydon's Baptism and Hugs for the girls!

Last weekend we went to Baby Braydon's Baptism. I was actually very good in church and almost made it through the whole service, until I saw my good friend, Titi, sitting a few pews up from us and started calling out her name. Mom took me to the foyer and let me run around during the second half of the service. After the baptism, we got to go to Morganne's house for some food and fellowship. 

Trying to get 6 adults, and 4 kids ALL in the picture AND looking in the same direction: IMPOSSIBLE. (Sorry, Braydon, for almost cutting you out of the picture completely!)

I love giving hugs, especially to my BFF, Morganne :)

There's a new girl in town!... I got to give baby Kaitlyn some lovin' the other day. I wasn't too sure about her the first few weeks she was around, but I have totally warmed up to her now. She is SO tiny and SO cute! I LOVE my girls!

Check out my new do!....

Whooo Hoooo.....it's hair cut day for me and daddy! We went down the street to Zinie's salon while Mom and Annie went shopping. Side note: Check out my back molars- they are HUGE! (p.s. if you're wondering...that's a fruit loop in my mouth.)

I sat in the chair all by myself today and got a much needed big boy hair cut! Mom wants to know where all my hair went!

This is my new favorite web site!!! All you do is type in the words that you want and it puts them in these funky shapes. It is awesome! I did this one really quickly to describe, what else?, Luke. You can play around with fonts, colors, and layouts. The possibilities are endless. It's so much fun! I feel a scrapbook page coming on ;) Happy Friday everyone!

Rock On!!!...

Do you think I am past due for a hair cut or what?...
