peek!

hello there! it's me, luke. here's what we've been up to lately... nothing too exciting, just having some fun around the house...

and here i am even making myself useful outside some. i love sweeping!

i do not, however, love walking in the grass - can you believe that?? well, the grass here is really dry and crunchy, and it just doesn't feel good on little baby feet! take a look at this incident a few weeks ago... we love playing with the balls outside, and here was a typical reaction when my ball rolled into the grass (click on the picture to enlarge it and really get a good look at my face if you need to)...

i was so irritated that the ball had rolled out there but was determined to not actually step foot in the grass to retrieve it...

and i succeeded. yes!

truth be told, that was a few weeks ago and i actually am getting better and better about that now. i finally started sucking it up and will now get out there in the grass like a regular kid, most of the time. i do not like the fire ants that always manage to find my little feet though - rude!

anyway... just like ben, i really love pushing around anything i can get my hands on. i don't ride on things too much yet, but i sure can push them around to keep up with my big brother. here i am with the "train" we made a few weeks ago...

and here i am pushing around momma's vacuum. you might be able to tell from the look on my face that i realize i'm not allowed to push around this thing (too bad it looks like a toy but costs more than i did), but i just find it really tempting and tried to sneak in a quick tour around the downstairs. as usual, i was busted, but tried to make an escape (with the vacuum)...

here i am having to navigate around a childish push toy, oh bother...

and next thing i know, ben is after me with our toy vacuum. oh my, the hilarity...

vacuum wars. this could be a reality show...

eventually momma reached her limit and decided to put a stop to the show, right after i discovered the cord and realized it would be even more fun to pull it around by that! good times. too bad we don't have any good toys to play with around here to keep me out of trouble...

we have a lot more pictures and updates coming up again soon, but right now we have to go because the 90's called. they want daddy's doc martin's back...

see you again soon! :)
