Luke is 2 years old today!!

This sweet baby boy is now a big 2 year old!! We had a January party at Great-Grandma's, Matt's family over this past Sunday, he opened a gift this morning, having a b-day party at daycare, and tonight will open the rest of his gifts and face time with Grandma & Grandpa.  Man, it's rough to be a 2 year old!!! 

Having a hard time believe that it was 2 years ago he came into this world, it seems like he's always been a part of our lives.  Love, love, love just doesn't even begin to describe all the love we have we have for him. 

We go to his 2 year appointment tomorrow and will get pictures taken later this week!

Where did December go?

Goodbye 2013, hello 2014!

I've been feeling better, so that helps alot, and Luke has been great.  He's playful, sweet, cranky, & lovable all at the same time.  As for me, I'm a little over 26weeks.  I go back this Friday 1/10.  Can't wait to see their sweet little faces again.  I feel them all the time.  Baby A is still quite the kicker, Baby B is more chill.  Getting a little more uncomfortable, hard time sleeping.  But I'm so tired! But keeping my eyes on the prize.

I celebrated my 37th birthday with a surprise from Matt - Justin Timberlake tix! It was an awesome concert. Baby B sure like his music b/c that baby kicked the whole time. So I'm thinking a little Justin or Justine?!

Christmas was magical!  We did the Polar Express w/all the Weavers, had a bouncy party on the Rody's Ne-Ne and Pop-Pop got for them, spent Christmas Eve at my parents and Christmas Day at my Grandma's.  Lots of people, food, fun, presents!  But how come everyone else's presents are more fun than your own?!   That is what Luke thought at least.  And he got some great gifts- puzzles, books, blocks, cars, toy drill, little computer game, clothes, etc.  SPOILED!  But that's ok, he is only a baby once...and he's barely a baby anymore! 


NYE Luke had his 2nd ever ear infection :(  The 2 nights before he was up every hour or so and just not himself.  Thankfully our dr.'s office has walk in hours on NYE, so I went in there, found out that's what he had (along with pink eye??) and got him on amoxicillin and he was back to his fiesty self in now time.  We at a pizza party w/cousins at Great Grandma's then a slumber party at Grandma & Grandpa's with Claire & Ruby.  Up all night.  Yikes.   Then back to Great Grandma's for the whole family to ring in the New Year on New Year's Day. 

Shocking, but Luke's favorite word is still no!!!  And his little independence side comes out more frequently.  He's definitely opinionated.  Lots of energy, but still is up for a good snuggle here & there.  His new thing is building 'big castles' with his mega blocks Aunt Tracey got him for Christmas.  And playing cars. Vrrrrooommmm!

He is a good helper most of the time.  He does like to help me dust, but mostly wants me to spray the Pledge and he goes over the same spot. 

2014 is going to be amazing.  I look back at 2013 and can't believe it's over.  I can't believe all we have gone through.  Luke turned 1!!!  We had great vacations, we found out we were expecting.  We found out we are expecting twins!!  Purdue games, Pacers games,  friends, family, weddings, new babies...so much to be thankful for and so much to look ahead to!! Blessed beyond words!

Wordless Wednesday- Ho! Ho! Ho!

Thankful Thursday

1.  We have lots and lots to be thankful for, but we found out that this spring we will be doubly blessed.  2 little Baby Weavers are growing in my belly!

2.  Luke continues to be a happy, independent, sweet boy.  And no is still a fave word.  If he doesn't want to do something, just leave him alone. 

3.  When he says 'mom!' or 'momma' it's the sweetest sound ever.

4.  He discovered the joys of coloring. And loves his bucket and collecting things.

5.  We have a little tykes slide in our living room now (will go outside when it gets warm again) and he loves sliding on it.  Wheee!!!

6.  His little Purdue chair is a fave.  He'll get his sippy cup and gold fish and take a load off.

7.   When you ask Luke if he wants a baby brother or a baby sister (or maybe he'll get both) he's been saying sister.  But not quite sure he understands what is going on. He sees my rapidly expanding belly and I tell him I have 2 babies in there and he usually says 'no!'. 

8.  If he falls / bumps himself, he gets the sweetest, most pitiful face and says 'ouch, hurts!' then runs over for a kiss and hug.  Which he then follows with 'better!'.   Hugs and kisses really do make everything better!  He did go through the phase of no matter what was hurt  he would say 'oh, my back!' holding onto his back (my back was out for a bit so I must have said that alot).  But a hug and kiss still fixes it. 

9.   LOVES Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  He really interacts with it (Hi Mickey!  Donald!  Daisy!)  and is so excited when he's on.  Sophia the First and Jake and the Neverland Pirates are ok with him, too.  But Mickey is his fave. 

10.  He's been trying to sing a lot in the car lately and if there is a song on the radio he does not like he says 'no, not that song!' and makes me flip it until I find one he likes or I just put it on sports radio and he's ok. 

A selfie- he did good!

Wordless Wednesday- Happy belated Halloween!!

21 months old today!!

Such a big boy!!  And he's sooooo funny.  And he's 21 months old.  We have been been busy the last month learning so many new words, trying new things, went to the Haunted Mansion at the Children's Museum, story time at the library, a hayride and Halloween party with the Carlyles, a night w/the Weavers at Little Sisters of the Poor,  coloring,  Emma's birthday party.  Busy, busy, busy.  He is a great helper cleaning up, throwing things away, etc.    Each day he gets less and less baby and more and more big boy!!!

Wordless Wednesday- 19 months!
