growing up...

hey, you, out there! nice to see you again! :)



i wanted to wear a tie for church the other day - although it didn't stay on for very long because although i wanted to wear it so that i could be just like daddy, i couldn't fight the urge to just play with the buckle in the back. momma anticipated this and so snapped a few shots before we left...


luke isn't quite old enough for ties, yet, but he was still pretty cute in a basic onesie...
momma got him a new doorway jumper too, which he has been playing in some. apparently she always wanted to get one for me when i was a baby, but fought the urge (that one time, at least!) to accumulate more baby gear. but she decided to go for it with luke to give him a fun activity upstairs. he likes it okay but mostly prefers to be held or be closer in on the action of whatever we're doing. since momma is infamous for returning things, this might actually end up getting the boot because luke isn't totally a fan and she's luke-warm about it too. but she thought it was worth sharing at least one cute picture, and hopefully he'll just be sitting up on his own soon anyways and we won't need it after all...
we're working with him on the sitting up thing... as you can see, he's not quite there, but does think it's fun to try and we can tell that he feels like he's doing something new on his own! he also likes to stand up on furniture and hold himself up on his own for just a few seconds at a time - exciting!
meanwhile, i continue to grow up really fast... i'm practically an adult already. here i am shaving (real shaving cream, spoon razor)...
and helping daddy blow off the driveway...


the blower is new* and i absolutely love it! if i don't update the blog for a few days or weeks and you wonder what i'm doing lately, it's blowing. i blow outside. i blow inside. i blow off luke. i even blow off the imaginary "big bear in the great room" from our trip to the lodge. he now lives in our front room, and so when he gets dirty, i blow him off.
well, that's about all for now, but i will leave you with a little teaser for next time... you know the infamous recliner from our living room, right? well, next time we have big news about it, so stay tuned! :)


*the blower was supposed to be my bribe for getting potty trained. momma had been saving this one chance to bribe me and this one awesome thing to bribe me with all along. we tried potty training a couple weekends ago and i just wasn't ready... she already bought the blower and she and daddy knew i would love it so much and would be so cute playing with it, so they gave it to me anyway! this is very unlike them. i'm not sure yet what the catch is... so i'm getting in as much blowing as i possibly can just in case...
