Just Recently

Just recently Luke has decided to become the world's fastest 10 month old crawler and get into E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G! Rhett's dog food, picture frames, and candle sticks are no longer safe, not to mention any of Caleb's toys. And, to top it off, he is no longer interested in his toys for more than 10 seconds. Cooking dinner is a challenge, but I've found that pots & pans will keep his attention for a while. He is so funny- he rubs the lid and pan across the tile floor, making the most awful noise. He, however, thinks it's just great. Needless to say, it makes for a noisy evening. Oh, and Caleb, he is still an amazing big brother- such a help!

Luke has also figured out how to drink out of a sippy cup (finally!) and even takes his lunchtime formula in it. (I CAN'T believe that he will be on regular milk in about a month...crazy!) I do have to help him out and recline his seat because he still needs to figure out that he has to hold the cup tilted up. ;)

Ready to Hit the Slopes!

Help!

Luke loves to crawl under the kitchen table, and every single time we have to rescue him! It seems as though getting stuck is fun to this little guy!

Soooooo Big

Daddy's Work

Last year Bachman Chevrolet tore down their showroom and began work on a brand new one. This meant that Creed had to move into a double wide (yet very nice!) trailer to work out of. It wasn't easy, but now he is so excited to be moved into his new office. The new showroom is almost complete, and last week we just had to visit and see it. We were also there for the flag raising ceremony- a truly amazing sight. It's the biggest flag I've ever seen, for sure!

My 3 favorite guys! Caleb was mesmerized as they put the flag up. When the Veterans were finished raising it, Caleb ran over and "turned" the lever himself. (It was already locked.) He looked up and said, "I think it went higher!"

(Caleb was actually born on Flag Day (June 14th) and has his own American flag in his room!)

Bring on the SNOW!

The Silver Lining

Marshma and Papa have headed south for the cold months, and we already miss their weekly visits. The day they left Caleb was excited to get out his map and track their journey, wanting to know where they were at all times. I think they were only in Bardstown, KY when he had to call and check on them!

While Caleb would MUCH rather have them in town, he is SUPER excited about the packages that will arrive frequently in the mail while they are gone. Apparently Marshma misses the boys too and can't help but to pick things up for them! :) I think she mailed one the first day she was there because the first package arrived on our doorstep the first week they were gone. The joy in Caleb's eyes tell the story!

We love and miss you SO much, Marshma & Papa! Counting down to April!

Luke Update

Luke is doing great these days! We've actually kept him out of the church nursery since a few weeks before Christmas and thankfully, he's been well since then. I haven't even had to wipe a nose in forever! ;) Now that he is an expert at crawling, he is getting into everything! Things Caleb (still to this day) hasn't touched are already being knocked off shelves. He's also pulling up- he can always get to his knees, but a few times a day he'll make it all the way up. Bless Caleb's heart, but his toys are no longer safe! Last week Luke destroyed the train table...

Now that he's pulling up in bed, I found this on his side rail! I love how the marks on the right perfectly show his 4 teeth. I don't love the marks, but if he's going to bite his bed, it might as well be a reminder of his cute, toothy grin these days! ;)

Thankfully, I had this bite guard put on his front rail a month ago so it only has one small bite mark. If he's going to use this bed growing up, I'd like to keep it nice!

Luke is sleeping awesome these days and eating like a little piggy! He's still our happy boy!

Big Boy Time

PeePaw, Uncle Matt, and Uncle Drew love White Castle. Sadly, there are no White Castles in North Carolina, so each and every time that PeePaw comes to town, a few White Castle burgers are always on the menu. This Christmas was no exception, so one afternoon all the "big" boys went to have lunch together.

After lunch Caleb and PeePaw took Matt and Drew to their favorite park. Caleb made sure to grab a box of crackers to feed the ducks.

By the way, Caleb is NOT wearing a WVU toboggan. It's a Whitefield one. Whew- had to clarify that we were not sporting any Mountaineer gear. ;)
