Everything is going great over here. We just bought a townhouse that we love and the boys are completely fantastic. I look forward to every day with my boys (especially now that they are both sleeping through the night---ahhhhhhhhh)! Luke is now crawling all over the house and starting to pull up on the step.

Here are some moments and memories I don't want to let myself forget:
*how Nathan will make a funny sound and Luke will crack up and then try to imitate it. This morning it was a loud exaggerated gasp sound. Hearing Lukey do that made us all just lose it laughing
*how Luke feels the need to bop up and down everytime he hears even a few beats of music. I will bust out singing a silly song and he will just immediately start to dance. Love that kid! :)
*How Nathan loves to name his cars, tv characters, even food after family members
*The way Nathan begs to go outside every moment he gets the chance
*Nathan is learning the names to all the cars and tells me which ones are Fords and which ones are Hondas. He loves "Ford Trucks" and jaguars, haha
*the way Luke grunts all excitedly when he first wakes up in the morning and is famished, wanting to nurse
*the wild "mad scientist" concoctions Nathan makes in the tub with different bottles and bowls
*how Nathan will make mud and start playing in it, the moment he gets a chance with the hose
*how he told me he wants Frankie to live in his playhouse and that Frankie is "his favorite"
*how Nathan calls juiceboxes "schooboxes"
*how Luke gives huge kisses right on the mouth, and grabs your face and smooches you on the lips even when you are aiming for his cheek. He is quite fresh! haha
*the overly exaggerated way Nathan chugs his drinks
*how louuuuud Luke is when he nurses and how he hums and mmmms everytime he eats
*when I have both my boys snuggling in the recliner

Life is good.

Luke's 6 month checkup

Luke got his 6 month checkup today. He was 18lbs 6 oz and 26 inches. The Dr kept commenting that he was the "golden child" and how lucky I was. He said Luke was one of the most easy going sweet babies he's ever met. He didn't even make a peep when he got his shots! I love my little guy!

We started with some baby food recently. He gives me such a hassle! He spits out the food, smears it everywhere, and chews on the spoons, but doesn't really eat anything, haha. He is holding out for the real stuff! He is always begging for what I am eating. Soon enough, Lukey!

Luke is crawling everywhere now. He is such a little nut. He loves playing with Nathan's cars and books and ignores his baby toys. He is at that stage where he is much less interested in snuggling and just wants to play all day. He is a very content baby and can entertain himself playing on the floor for the longest time!
