Funny Big Brother & More Pictures


Here's the best big brother Luke comment I've heard yet...this is how it took place...
Mommy: (walking down the hall carrying baby Kate over my shoulder) I hear plop, plop, plop. I turn around to see three piles of spit up on the floor in three different places behind me. I hear Luke coming around the corner so I say, "Luke, be careful, Kate just threw up all over the place."
Luke: as he comes around the corner, listening to NOTHING I just said (as usual), he steps RIGHT IN the barf that I warned him about. He says, "Yuck, why does she throw up all over the place?"
Mommy's response: "I think she ate too much."
Luke comes back with (in such a sassy voice)..."We should just call this the barf festival!"
I'm so glad that Luke can make the grossest Mommy moments something to laugh about!


And...Here are more pictures from the last few months....









With the new baby around, I have made sure to work in some Mommy and Luke playdates.  We let Mammaw keep baby Kate and Luke and I take off for hours of fun together - just the two of us.  It's time that I cherish dearly.  A few weeks ago, we headed to the Greensboro Science Center on a beautiful fall day. We had a blast! 






We celebrated our cousin's birthday at the Trampoline park...that's Luke hugging his cousin, Haley. He hugged her like a million times!










On one of these cold, rainy days, Luke and I built a play doh brick house for the pig.  The big bad wolf did NOT knock it down!
Luke and I (and memaw and Lexi) went to the Thomasville Christmas Parade last weekend.  It was cold but it was NOT raining.  You notice Luke chose an umbrella as his choice of a toy.  And...used it the whole time.  Silly boy!  :)






Coming soon...Kate's newborn pictures and a post about the meaning of her name.  

Happy Thanksgiving!

Kate's 5 Week Check Up & PICTURES!

Kate had her 5 week check up today and she is perfect! She weighs 9 lbs, 14 oz and is 20.25 inches long.  She is gaining weight a little above average so she is in the 75th percentile for weight (and 25th percentile for height). We are so very thankful for our healthy baby girl.

I have been terrible about downloading pictures from my camera (but with Christmas approaching - I have gifts to make) and I need pictures!!! So, here are some pictures dating all the way back to September.

Enjoy...
