Luke is a constant source of entertainment for us.
Here are some of his latest cracks:
-----
In the grocery store, hands in pockets on his birthday boy longies,
"Mom, there's something in my pockets!"
"What! Really? (wondering what he picked up) What's in there?"
"HA! My hands!!"
It was it his first "joke". Too cute.
-----
From the back seat, (on the way home from running errands the day after Mom & Dad had been to town to visit):
"Mom. I'm sad. I'm crying."
"Oh Luke, why are you sad?"
"Gramma and Pap are gone home!"
His whole, telling me he's crying thing, is pretty funny, because he is almost always fake crying but wanting to express sadness. It's interesting the way he shows it. :)
----
I was laying in bed nursing Vinnie, when Luke climbed up & opened the window blinds (and woke Vinnie up, thus ending the nursing session).
I said, "Luke, now everybody is going to see my boobies!"
Then we all got up & headed out to the living room.
When we got there, Luke ran to the front door & tried to open it, "Come on Mom, everybody's going to see your boobies!!"
----
I think the last one I can remember is more cute than funny. Luke brought me my phone and said, "I talk to Gramma," so I called Mom & Dad.
Dad answered & after a brief moment of excitement at talking to Pap, he said, "Is Gramma not there?"
Dad said that she was and got her the phone (with slightly hurt feelings). When Mom came on, Luke was so excited! He said, "Yay Gramma's here, let's open the door!!" He thought because she was on the phone, now she was here. Silly boy. We ended up having to get off of the phone & go to the living room & look out the front door to see that they truly were not here.

April Update
April 2
We spent Monday at home, cleaning like crazy.
This is what the dishes looked like when I finished cleaning the main part of the kitchen. Gross. I hate hand washing dishes & this is what happens when I let Mommy-hood interfere with that. So, yea, I'm tackling THIS this week. :/ (By the end of the day a LOT of that was gone--I ran the dishwasher 3 times!)
And, laundry is always getting behind in this house, I don't know how so few people use so much laundry!
In the blue bucket is the poo diapers (they get rinsed before I wash all the diapers together), the white trash can is the regular dirty diapers. The white diaper pail with no lid, is dirty wool of Vinnie's. Then there are 2 pop up baskets with lights and whites. The whites was two loads! Then the blue basket has baby blankets in it, the white basket had towels in it & the box by the cabinets is full of comforters and rugs.
I'm still plugging along on that too.
April 3 (Tuesday)
We went to the doctor in the morning. Vinnie's head cold had a cough &green snot & he wasn't peeing, bc he wasn't nursing. BUT, its just a cold. I'm glad we went in though because apparently the rash in Luke's diaper area (different from yeast & regular diaper rash) is apparently an infection & he needed antibiotics for it. :/
Then we went grocery shopping at Wal-Mart & then to Suntrust to cash a check and then to Firehouse for lunch. :) After that we hit the post office & the pharmacy before heading home for naps. I wasn't feeling so hot, so our evening was kind of lame.
April 4 (Wednesday)
We're planning another day of cleaning. Vinnie took an almost 3 hour long nap in the morning, so I was able to get A LOT done in the kitchen. All of the dirty laundry now fits in the laundry room! Woot!! :) And the table is cleared off enough for 2 people to eat at it! :)
I also hand-washed wool and cleaned the rest of the house up too.
During both boys afternoon naps, Betti showed up to give me a hand around the house. I got to sew for a few minutes & did a little bit of work before running to the Post Office. I also picked Aaron up from school.
When we got home, Luke was SO happy to see Aaron! Betti & I chatted while I did dishes until 5:00 and the kids all played (Betti helped keep them occupied).
We ate a yummy dinner of leftovers galore & then they had to run. Peggy showed up just as they were leaving and took over kid duty.
I gave Vinnie a bath and then nursed him down for a nap. Peggy played with Luke. I got the house cleaned up, dishes and laundry tended to, and did a little bit of work on sewing stuff.
I can proudly say that the only remaining dishes are the appliances: the crock pot, the frying pan, and the griddle and two tea jugs. Everything else is clean!! :) AND, I'm down to bleaching my cloth diapers (to get the infection out) and then just the big blankets before I am "done" with the laundry!
Yay for a super productive day!

2nd Opinion with Breast Surgeon for lump in boob- I do have a small, pea sized lump in my breast. The doctor said that it was WORTH looking into to see what exactly it is, but MOST LIKELY it is just a harmless calcification. He said that since I am nursing and want to continue for at least 18 months (until Vinnie is 2) that we could wait until then to do anything to avoid the complications of biopsy-ing a milky boob. He warned me to keep track of it (monthly) and if I feel like it has moved or grown to come back in & we might have to go ahead with the biopsy, but for now, we're on a wait-and-see. :/ I'm not thrilled with that plan, but I do not want to wean Vinnie and the doctor was fairly sure I'd be safe waiting it out.
March 7 Luke's first time skating! :) He's a pro!
March 8
Happy 7 Months to Vinnie!
I had to hem the pants to Vinnie's wool jersey outfit a bit, so he decided to model it again for his 7 month old pictures.

We had to take Wazowski to the vet in Yorktown. It does not look good. He needs $1800-3000 worth of surgery on each of his back legs. The surgeries should be done within 6 weeks of each other. He can't bear any weight on his right leg and his left leg now has the same injury. (the doggy equivalent of a torn ACL)

March 17
Happy St. Patrick's Day
Cookout with James & Missy- We were supposed to make it to the park with James & Missy, but Aaron wasn't feeling well and kind of slowed down our entire day. We ended up keeping him home until Betti got off of work early to pick him up. I did some grocery shopping before we went to the picnic and then we had a great time at James & Missy's house. :)
March 18- 19 Nada

In the morning, I tried my hands at making biscuits and chocolate gravy. It was good, but not quite right.
Then, Tim and Luke went to the eye doctor. We wanted to test Luke for color blindness, but he wouldn't participate in the test, so we still don't know if that is why he won't learn his colors.
He is slightly near/far (I can't remember) sighted in his left eye, but the doctor said it was normal at his age and that it was slight enough not to require glasses yet. BUT, if it doesn't resolve by the time he's 4, he'll probably get specs then.
After the eye doctor, we had lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings with Daddy. Then we dropped him off at home and headed to Virginia Beach.
Our first stop was the mall play-place. I didn't get any pictures of Luke, because he's a human blur...but Vinnie sat nice & still for me. :)
We got Luke new sandals at Stride Rite and measured Vinnie's foot. I don't think he's going to walk before he grows, so we didn't buy him any shoes. (I can make soft soled shoes similar to Robeez and refuse to pay $30 for those!)
Then we went to ride the carousel.
Luke found a "Spiderman" horse!

In the morning the boys and I went to a new dermatologist. I'm a little skeptical of the advice she gave me, but I guess I'll wait until we can afford to see a 2nd one for another opinion. :/
In the afternoon, we went to Mandy's to have chicken tacos with her, Frankie, and "the boys". Then she & I took all of the "boys" to the mall play place at MacArthur. They had fun and fell asleep on the ride home. :)
March 22- Zip

Vinnie had corn & sweet potatoes for lunch & had a REALLY bad reaction. His hands and face got swollen everywhere the corn touched & he broke out in angry, bumpy hives on his entire body. No more corn for Vinnie. :(
