Family Time

We have had a busy weekend/week. Luke has been all over southeast Indiana this week! Keith was in a wedding for one of his friends, Mason on Saturday. Instead of taking Luke to the rehearsal dinner and wedding, he went to Aunt Kelly and Uncle Josh's to spend Friday night. He had a great time and enjoyed playing with his cousins. Saturday morning, my dad picked Luke, Austin and Karsen up to go to my grandpa's farm to visit all the family. For those that dont know, my dad comes from a family of 8 brothers and sisters spread all over (London, Costa Rica, Montana) and they were all here for the family reunion that was held on Sunday. Keith and I had a great time at the wedding, and it was a great time of visiting with friends. After the wedding, we headed to Connersville to spend the night before the family reunion on Sunday. I think Luke was glad to see us after being away for a whole day. Yesterday, Luke and I went back to Connersville for the fair and swimming. He enjoyed his hot dog at the fair, but the swimming he preferred to sit on the edge. He was not as into it as he is during bathtime. It will be interesting to see who he takes after, Keith OR me, when it comes to swimming. Luke sitting on the edge of the slide with Grandma

The family fun doesnt end, we are traveling to Minnesota this weekend to help Keith's parents celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary. Happy Anniversary John and Shirley!

Here you go!




Okay, I didnt realize that many people read this blog. I have been asked by several of my friends in the last week for new pictures. So...here you go.


Luke is doing good. We have been working on some new things this week.


He currently says mama, dada, uh oh, and some word that sounds like thank you. He has said ball a couple times as well as another word that sounds like more. I have been trying to teach him to locate belly button, nose and toes this week. The week has just began so that is a work in progress:)

We are still working on the walking, but I believe he will be a later than normal walker. He has small feet and a long body which makes him have a hard time holding himself up. I think once he gets the standing by himself down, he will take off. For now, we just hold on and walk and walk and walk around the house to practice.




Luke is also trying out his spoon. I wanted to start him out eating with a spoon early since he is extremely strong willed and wants no one to feed him but himself. He loves putting the food on the spoon in his mouth, but a lot of it is falling out at this point. With Lukes egg and milk allergies, it has been hard to try and have some variety on what he eats, but fortunately, he is a great eater and likes most things he tries.






Hope you enjoy the updates and pictures!
