Happy Thanksgiving - so much to be thankful for!!

food!

this was from about a month ago - trying new foods - he loves it

our Goo and Tigger

Luke (one of his nicknames is Goo) got the chance to visit his beloved Tigger when we were at Disneyland last month :) he really enjoyed it!

fun with friends

we had the fun opportunity to spend some quality time with our dear friends in oregon... here are our sons sharing toys after mass... just in case you were wondering, Luke is just 5 days older than his friend

to make Emily a little jealous...

fun visiting with Emily's mom (Easton's Grandma) (also known as Carol!) It was great to catch up and spend some time in a house that has not changed very much since I was in elementary school -comforting since my parents have moved so many times!!



Luke was willing to sit with Carol even though he wasn't feeling too well and he hasn't done very well with strangers lately - but Carol definitely has the touch with little kids!!

new pictures!

so, Luke will be 8 months old tomorrow!!!
here's a rambling update: he sits alone, he crawls backwards and forwards, he eats rice cereal, oatmeal, sweet potatoes, carrots, peas, green beans, and bananas (he still primarily nurses!!), he loves to play with toys, he loves to bounce, he is very strong, we get stopped in stores with people telling us how cute he is, he's well over 24 pounds - we need to weigh him again, he wears 18 month clothes, we still use cloth diapers, he loves his daddy, he says dadadadadada, bababababa, mamamama, and other sounds...
here he is playing football

bananas again, different bib - gotta cheer on those Oregon Ducks! (although from my shirt, you'll see I was more interested in the Texas game)
