14 Months

Happy 14 months, Luke Brennan!

You have learned lots of new things this month!  You are feeding yourself 100% of the time now, which is great!  It frees Momma up to actually get to drink her coffee while it's still hot, haha!  Some days you even eat more than Joshua!  You will eat nearly anything I put in front of you, and have become a huge fan of grapes this month.  You are pulling up to stand and have attempted a step or two!  I think this is the month for walking, little man!  Not going to rush you, though...I know how crazy life will be when you take off!  Your big bro went straight from crawling to running, and he hasn't slowed down since!  I don't mind if you want to stay a baby for a little while longer.  ;-)  You are looking so grown up to me lately...much less a baby, and more of a little boy. 

I can't get you to sit still on the scale long enough to get an accurate weight, but I am guessing around 28 lbs.  You wear a mix of 18 mos. & 24 mos. clothing.  Size 4 shoes.  Size 4 diapers. 

 Lukey, you are such a dear little boy.  You always have a smile for us.  You adore your big brother and love to chase him all over the house.  You also love to cuddle and be held.  I can't wait to see what the coming months will bring!

Love you, sweet one.

Momma, Daddy & Joshua

Spaghetti Night

We had spaghetti a couple nights ago (pretty much a staple in this house!), and the boys LOVED it!  Here are some fun pictures of the mess!  :-)

He started out using a fork, but quickly abandoned that for the shovel-it-in-with-your-fingers method.

Messy, yes.  But seriously...so CUTE!

What mess, Momma?!
 

Joshua asked for seconds and thirds!

 YUMMY!

Joshua's 3-Year Stats

I would have posted these sooner, but this little stinker has an extreme fear of doctor and dentist offices!  When we went for his 3-year check-up, he went bananas, screaming and crying hysterically, clinging to me all the while.  Those of you who have seen him in the worst of tantrums have never seen him like this!  He would NOT let the doctor touch him, and they weren't able to get his weight or height.  It's a good thing no shots were required, because it would have taken both Mike and myself to hold him down.  Let's just say I am hoping this is something he grows out of SOON!  Haha.

 Anyway, with a little trickery, Momma and Daddy were able to get his weight and height at home.  At 3 years old, he weighs approximately 37 lbs. and is 39 inches tall!  That's 5 lbs. and 3 in. in a year!  If he keeps growing at this rate, he'll be as tall as me in a couple years!  LOL.  Despite the fact that he wouldn't let the doctor get too close, Dr. C. said we have us a healthy little man!  Thank you, Lord, for two sweet, healthy boys!

Have a blessed Tuesday!

It's Monday...

This Is the Day

Trip to Michigan

Happy New Year!  We traveled to MI over the holiday for a NYE family wedding.

Joshua had a ball ringing in the New Year!

Luke took a little snooze on Daddy's shoulder during the reception.

Despite the fact that it was late, Joshua was a maniac on the dance floor!

He found a cowboy hat and wore it around most of the night.

Don't you love his Nike sweat pants with his nice shirt?  He wet himself after the wedding ceremony (the first time in MONTHS!), so we had to change his pants.  So stylish, LOL.

Ringing in the New Year with the hubs.

Of course, a couple days in a hotel calls for some serious pool time!

We celebrated Joshua's 3rd birthday, as well as Grandpa's retirement!  WOOHOO!

 This sweet boy couldn't get enough of the pool.  

A wedding, New Year's Eve, celebrating Christmas, JJ's birthday and Grandpa's retirement -- they were 4 very busy days, but we had tons of fun!  Today we are resting up and enjoying a lazy day at home.  Have a wonderful weekend friends!

Love,

M, K, JJ & LB

The Lorax

And, just so you can follow along a little better, here's what he's saying...

"Hello everybody.  Thanks for coming.  I am the Lorax.  I speak for the trees.  And I'd like to say a few words, if you please.  Regarding the story that you're 'bout to see -- it actually happened -- just take it from me.  But there's more to this story than what's on the page, so please pay attention while I set the stage.  We open in Thneedville, a city, they say, that was plastic and fake, and they liked it that way!  A town without nature, not one living tree!  So, what happened to them?  Cue the music...let's see!"
