My First Kid's Meal

Chipotle

Time Keeps on Slipping Slipping Slipping, Into the Future...

I know it gets repetitive, but I just can't believe how fast time really goes. So I grabbed the camera, and Troy and I snapped a couple pics of our growing Ookie! He is such a smily little guy!

is mighty fine

Luke, when did you get so big?!

These days you like to:

• Pull up and walk around everything. You have stood for a moment or two by yourself, but no walking yet, which is just fine with mommy!
• Can say "mama" "dada" "bah" and "gah" and Troy and I like to think you know just who we are... even though I am called "dada and bah" almost as much as "mama"
• Loves to dance and has started singing into his toy microphone, which is too cute.
• Has started eating three meals a day with bottles for snacks. You still enjoy your baby food, but this month we got to add in cheese, and boy do you love it! Cheese quesadillas seem to be your favorite. Just like mommy and daddy, you love mexican food! You will eat avacados, tortillas, and beans.
• You love to play peek-a-boo and "read" your books.
• Absolutely love to flirt, and have taken quite an interest in older women. Whether it's Mallory or Emily, girls definitely make you smile big and giggle, such a lady killer!
• One thing you are not fond of? The word no. It makes you pout and start to tear up, but it sure is cute.

We love our Lukie! Happy 9 months!

is great

I am really on the move and I like to crawl and pull up on everything! I love to babble and sing, and I'm really happy most all of the time. I'm just now starting to eat little hot dogs, waffles, bread, and little bits of whatever mom and dad are eating along with all my fruits and veggies. I really want to walk, but I'm not there yet. Watch out mom and dad!

Lazy Labor Days...

We had a great time visiting the whole matthews clan over labor day weekend, here our some of my favorite pics from the weekend. Can't wait for next year!

Luke had a great time meeting another great grandparent! Another 90th birthday in 2009! We had a great time celebrating with Buck in Oklahoma. It sure is great to be with family. We love y'all very much!

seven months

Luke is turning into quite... a demanding little one. When he wants something, he is sure to let you know he is not happy, until he gets it. I wonder who on earth he got that from... hmm... two parents who are only children... I'm certain that has nothing to do with it. He sure is a cute little stinker though! He is up on all fours and really ready to crawl, and has just started pulling up on everything! His drool has subsided (thank goodness) for now, since he got those two bottom teeth. Life is good.
