St. George Visit
Last weekend we went down to St. George. Luke loves it down there. He has tons of fun with his grandma and grandpa Ferguson and aunt and uncles and especially the dog Sophie! He could play outside with her all day! He would follow her all around the backyard and even follow her behind bushes and things. This trip he was obsessed with eating Sophie's dog food. Yes, he would eat it. Then he would spit it out and let Sophie eat the remains. He even shared a sucker with Sophie, we looked over and he was letting her have licks!

Update on Lukie and sister
I can't believe it's been over a month since I have written! I think about it all the time and things I want to write down so I don't forget, but finding the time is the problem! Life with two is going really well. There are days when I am very tired and am going a little crazy watching Thomas the Tank Engine shows over and over with Luke to keep him happy while nursing Halle, and then there are times when I am so overwhelmed with the love for my two little ones I can hardly stand it and can't bear the thought of them growing up. They are both so precious and I couldn't love them more. The hardest part for me right now I think is feeling like I am getting enough time with them both. Sometimes I put Luke down to bed at night and am sad when I realize how much less one on one time I get with him. It's a balancing act I am still trying to get the hang of and hope I can learn to get quality time with both of them and enjoy and cherish the moments.
Lukie is at the cutest stage right now and it makes me so sad to think of him growing out of it. He is a bundle of energy and has such a spunky little personality but also has a very sweet, sensitive side. He is very good with his little sister and loves her a lot. When she cries more than just a little fussiness he gets concerned for her and points and gets a little upset himself. This can make for some caotic moments when they are both crying and upset, especially when we are in the car and there is nothing much I can do to settle them down, but luckily those moments don't happen too often. Luke loves "Thomas the Tank Engine" shows and toy trains and also loves the Disney/Pixar movie "Cars". He loves to play with the trains and cars and make the "brrmmm" sounds with his lips. He also loves airplanes, motorcycles, boats - pretty much anything that goes. Everytime we are at my parents house he goes in the mud room and opens the door to the garage and points at there boat and gets super excited and yells "bo bo! bo bo!" He loves that boat. He loves playing with his little baseball tee-ball toy with his daddy and can hit the ball really far! He says "Uh-oh" a lot and says a handful of other words including mommy, dadddy, and baby, but so far doesn't talk too much. There are some times when I wish so bad he could just tell me when he needs! It would be nice to at least have one of my children who could tell me what they need or want instead of needing to cry. I'm hoping he'll turn this corner and start to at least say more little words to tell me what he needs soon. Luke is very into making sound effects to get his point across. If he falls he will re-inact it over and over by motioning his hand toward the ground and making the "du-uhhhh" sound effect. When he wants to watch Thomas he says "toot toot" and tugs and the air like a conductor. There are a lot more sound effects he does that I know I am just not thinking of right now. Luke loves to read books. He would probably read 10 books or more every night before bed if we had time to. He is such a good little boy and is at such a sweet age, I just love it. Sometimes it's fun to think of him gettting older and the fun stages that are coming up, but then sometimes I get really sad to think of him growing up and that I will never get him as this fun, silly, sweet little toddler that he is right now. I hope I can always remember his cute little expressions, his excited little blue eyes, and the sound of his little feet running through the basement (he hardly ever walks anywhere, he runs!) He is so excited and full of life and is such a good boy and we love him so much.

Luke loves going on stroller rides!

Luke loves corn on the cob!
He loves playing with phones.
Luke found a new favorite...olives. And of course he has to eat them off the fingers!
