Happy Thanksgiving to all!

I'm sure that I will have more pics to share later of Luke's first Thanksgiving but I wanted to show you Luke's new "trick". He dances!!! Well, okay...its not dancing in the sense that we all dance but if you are strapped into a highchair, this is how you would dance. Enjoy!



Also, guess who is ticklish?!?!

Bad mommy...

So its been over a week and no updates...I know, I know...I'm a terrible mom or blogger depending on what you are looking for. In my defense, I was sick with a stomach virus this week and was working overtime all last week. Somehow the stomach virus was given to me by Luke's sitter but he didn't get sick. Thank god! He has been pretty cranky lately with a runny nose but I think that he is teething some more. Once he gets in a better mood, I will take some pics b/c those pearly whites are showing themselves for all to see now. It is so cute and can't wait to share.

Not much else is going on, we are excited for Luke's first Thanksgiving and I'm hoping for some good deals to be had on Black Friday. You all know how much I live for bargain shopping!

Can Luke say Bella?

You be the judge (around 0:30 & 0:50):

Superbowl LXXIII here we come

gumming the ball makes it easier to throw...

New videos

We've finally found a food that Luke does not like...cottage cheese. And I don't blame him - I think that it is disgusting but I figured that we would have him try it b/c it is a good source of dairy for him. Think he's just like his mama?


Awhile back, Luke's cousins, Sandy and Caroline sent him some of their toys. Twist and Shout Elmo was one of them and we've recently put it into the toy rotation. Luke will either take it or leave it. But this time, he tried to share his binky with Elmo but not for too long:

Its official - we have a tooth!!!

So I had to post b/c we finally have a tooth. After months of saying, "oh, he's teething" when people made comments about all the drooling, we finally have a pearly white. I feel like it was just yesterday that I was posting this. Here are some pics of the beautiful first tooth...mama bear is so proud!






Now that Luke is getting more hair (finally!), we are able to have fun with it during bathtime. Also, please notice how Luke is almost outgrowing the kitchen sink.





And finally, here are some pics of Luke modeling the latest fashions. He is almost ready to rock the crocs but his feet are just a little too short. Thanks again to Aunt Mimi for buying them for him. Remember this?

Halloween...

Yesterday was Halloween and although we did not do much trick-or-treating, we still had fun. Luke looked adorable in his costume:



Hey Nana, you're giving me a wedgie!!!


Stevo and Ange's carved pumpkins...



Here are some more pics from this past week as well:

Posing for the camera...


Hey...is this how big my mom's belly looked before I was born?


If I hold my hands up, they won't touch this tough grass...


Yeah, that works...


Sadly, this was Ange's last week of part-time work. I'm now going back to full-time and cannot believe how fast these past months went. Luke turned 9 months old yesterday...he's been out as long as he was in. I cannot believe that it has been 9 months since he was this "small". :)
