Don't count the hours in the day. Make the hours in the day count.

"All children need a laptop. Not a computer, but a human laptop. Moms, Dads, Grannies and Grandpas, Aunts, Uncles - someone to hold them, read to them, teach them. Loved ones who will embrace them and pass on the experience, rituals and knowledge of a hundred previous generations. Loved ones who will pass to the next gneration their expectations of them, their hopes, and their dreams." - General Colin L. Powell

Luke's tummy time

I was trying to catch Luke rolling over, but he is just not a performing monkey. :o) He's darn cute anyway.

My Big Chatterbox

Andrew had decided recently that he likes to talk on the phone. He used to listen for maybe 30 seconds then say good bye and take off. This is what he's like now.

We are going to have a path worn into the carpet.

Luke and his Jumper


Andrew loved the jumper. Luke is following in big brother's footsteps. He loves the jumper. He gets going and seems like he's just going to fly right out of it. It entertains him for quite a while. He's even fallen asleep in it.


Laughing Luke

Luke has the cutest laugh, don't you think? He's super ticklish, just like his daddy and his big brother. And he ALWAYS gets the hiccups when we make him laugh. Poor kid doesn't stand a chance...

Here comes trouble

Andrew is a handful. He smart and a bit of a smart mouth, too. Wound up almost every waking hour of the day. I was hoping that Luke would be the more mild-mannered one. Sweet natured. I don't think that's going to happen.

Last night I was getting him undressed for a bath. I was telling Clayton that Luke had pooped while Clayton was gone two days in a row. I looked at Luke and said, "He pooped for mommy two days in a row, huh?!" Luke's response... To laugh out loud. He thought it was funny. He wouldn't laugh if I say anything else, but if I repeated the "he pooped for mommy" thing he would laugh hysterically. So much for being the mild-mannered one who's not a trouble maker.
