St. Patrick's Day

Now all I have to do is find cinco de mayo shirts....

One more thing..

Sweet Lucaboo started handing me things today. Just random things he was playing with he would joyfully hand over to me. :-) Funny guy.

8 Months Old

I was changing Luca's clothes and couldn't

resist taking pictures of him

and his sweet bare baby skin.

At 8 months Luca:

1. continues to be a cooperative and flexible baby. He is always up for anything/everything.

2. is currently cutting a tooth. He doesn't seem too unhappy about it right now. Let's hope this continues tonight when we are all trying to get some sleep.

3. has been sleeping through the night w/ an occasional waking. Big improvements! Thank you Lord!

4. has chosen to get up EARLY everyday. (no later than 6:00 am-Just like his brother)

5. LOVES to see Daddy and Jack walk in the room. (I am apparently old news and boring. I guess he gets enough of me during the day)

6. sits up on his own.

7. willingly eats all of his solids.

8. feeds himself snack puffs and is slightly addicted to them.

9. has recently developed stranger anxiety.

10. wants to play with big brother's toys.

11. will lean forward onto his hands and knees when sitting down as if about to crawl.

12. does not like being on his stomach very long.

13. has picked up a couple of high pitched screeches.

14. and has hair that hangs over his ears.

My Quirky Little Boy

Jack is currently obsessed with the #4. I think it's because he is going to be 4 and all of his friends at school are turning 4. One day he decided to practice writing the number and then decided he wanted to post all of his work on the wall! He was so proud of his work and it would have destroyed him if I had said no. So off he went to use his CHRISTMAS GIFT-TAPE to put up all of his fours. -No I do not like the added decor but I figure it is only temporary. As a matter of fact this morning he said he was ready to take them down. I was so glad until he said he thought he should replace them with the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 10! :-)

Just a Swinging

and a running

Just for fun:

Is that Uncle Sean?

And P?

Our P is MUCH cuter but we were having fun with some look a likes.

Snow Day

Thanks for the hat and gloves Grandma!

Not so fond of the snow

Much more content on the porch

The backyard

I sat and watched Jack and Todd play in the snow from inside and took a couple of shots because they looked so sweet out there.

The chase

Daddy dodging :-)

Please Pray for Leah
