picture update! (captions and text written by Luke)

Check out my sweet mohawk. My dad gave my mom a really hard time about this.

Here I am looking super cute in my doggy jammies.

Don't I make a cute teddy bear?

My mommy sure thinks so!!

I am now six and a half months old, and my two bottom teeth have broken through. That was tough. I am also sitting up on my own, scooting around the room, doing 'yoga' as my daddy calls it, eating sweet potatoes, carrots, avocado, rice cereal, peas, butternut squash, and apples! I love to chew on anything and I'll put anything you let me get my hands on straight into my mouth. I'm especially attracted to remotes and cell phones. Just two days ago I started say 'dadadadada' a lot, mommy and daddy like to think I'm saying daddy's name, but I'm really just babbling, heehee. At my 6 month check up I was almost 20 pounds! Whew, I bet my mom gets tired carrying me around all the time. I was 75% for weight and head circumference, and 90th% for length.

big day!

So, today the following may or may not have happened

1. we put an offer in on a house

2. luke cut a tooth, his very first tooth

3. i got a haircut (not a common event for me)

4. lauren was induced, and is now pushing! adelyn will be here soon!

yay for fun, event-filled fall days!

exciting things to come!

Dear Lauren and Daniel,

Happy Anniversary!! We love you guys so much, and praise the Lord for you! Happy two years!

Dear Adelyn,

Happy Due Date! Come out!! The time has come, we're all so ready to meet you!

So, This post already contains a lot of exclamation points. But, it's my blog. I will exclamation point when I want. It's because I'm excited. I'm so excited for you to meet your little one Lauren and Daniel. You two are going to be awesome parents! I know you will love Adelyn as much as you possibly can, and you will grow her up in the knowledge and fear of the Lord! How Blessed she is! We can't wait to hear the news, and we know it will be very very soon! Just hang in there a little bit longer, Lauren! Love you so much! Happy Day to you!

two more firsts!

Today Luke had his first go at a sippy cup! It had water in it, and he seemed to love it :)

He also got to try some avocado, which he didn't seem to love so much. But maybe we'll try that again after a while.

Guess we'll stick to the yummy organic brown rice cereal and sweet potato for the rest of this week. Any mommies have good suggestions for what to put in the mesh safe feeder? We're planning to try that soon, too!

today is the day!

Happy 6 months to Luke! I can't believe you are already six months old, little baby! It has gone by so fast, and you have changed our world in a way we could never have imagined, and we wouldn't have it any other way. We love you so so so much, can't wait to watch you grow, and see what you're like in another 6 months! What a blessing you are to us!

The Roses I Mentioned

When I mentioned how you can learn to do anything on the Internet, I was referring to the roses pictured below. And this is where I learned. Leave it to the guest of honor to document the affair :) So excited for her and her hubby, they're going to be great parents!

Luke made a guest appearance toward the end of the shower, you know, fashionably late. And fashionably asleep.

so this is fun

Couldn't and wouldn't want to afford such excess, but it's fun to play! design whatever you like here
