Luke helps me cheerlead

2011-10-29T19:04:00.000-07:00

Pumpkin Patch

2011-10-29T11:58:00.000-07:00

Luke loved all the pumpkins. If he could pick it up, he moved it. I think he touched every pumpkin there.

Zoo Trip

2011-10-29T11:54:00.000-07:00

We went to the zoo with a friend and her daughter. It was a beautiful day and not a whole lot of people.

Here we are starting the day on the tram.

The boys looking at the giraffes.

Carson watching Bacie.

Luke and Carson flying the helicopter.

Luke and Carson in the gourd on the playground.

Luke climbing back up the slide.

Carson really enjoy the alligators.

Carson going down the slide.

Corn on the cob

2011-09-17T10:37:00.000-07:00

Luke really likes corn on the cob. He does very well at eating it too.

Do you see what I see?

2011-09-17T10:32:00.000-07:00

Do you see what is behind the crib?

I caught them hiding out in this corner reading books. So cute!

A Dangerous Ride

2011-08-31T19:21:00.000-07:00

Apparently Luke thinks I am one crazy driver.
He insisted he wear a helmet while riding in the wagon.

Let the games begin

2011-08-26T16:20:00.000-07:00

It all started chasing butterflies from an elephants nose...

First, the kiddos geared up with their nets

ready, set, go...
Carson really enjoyed watching them come out of the nose and laughing at Luke and Kaylee.

Luke and Kaylee loved chasing the butterflies and putting them in their nets.
Now time to do it all over again.

Then after the elephant ran out of butterflies for the 20th time, we moved on to another game...MATCHING!!!

Luke found a match!!!

Kaylee found a match!!

Carson found a match too!!! (He didn't quite know what to do after that)

Let's just say it lasted all of 1 min. Each kid took their turn then Luke and Kaylee decided to pick up as many as they could and line them up. So what to do next..

TICKLING!!!!!!!!

Wow!! That was a fun adventure. Let the games end.

Bowling, Cosmic Golf and a new bike

2011-07-09T16:21:00.000-07:00

Today we took Luke bowling for the first time. He liked it, but got bored fast. The bowling was running a special so we we got to do a round of cosmic golf. No pictures- it was in the dark. Luke liked hitting the ball- picking it up- and putting it in the hole. I believe he got a hole in one everytime!

He really liked watching the bowling balls come out.

Here is Luke trying to ride his new bike. He likes it, but if he even comes close to falling, he is all done. Then later he wants to try it again.

VBS music rocks!

2011-07-08T17:36:00.000-07:00

Luke and Kaylee dancing to the VBS songs

Cow Appreciation Day

2011-07-08T17:28:00.000-07:00

Tonight at Chick-fil-a if you dressed up like a cow you got a free meal. YES, you heard me right, a meal completely free. So Luke and I dressed up like cows from head to toe, while Daddy wore a sign that said Eat More Chikin (he got a free entree) So in the end we ended up paying 1.76 for Dave's fries. AWESOME DEAL still! Enjoy the pics.

THANK YOU CHICK-FIL-A!!!!!

Luke turns 2

2011-06-08T14:17:00.000-07:00

Luke turned 2 on May 22nd. We had his birthday party at Gibson Park. We invited Grandparents and his friends he plays with. He had so much fun and really enjoyed eating his cake I made. Luke even had a second piece. I guess he knew he better get a second piece, because he won't get this again until next year. hehe. Luke enjoyed opening his presents. He has enjoyed them all. It seems each day all he plays with is his new toys.

Luke also had his doctors appt. He weighs 28 pounds now. He is doing great and growing right on schedule. The nurse had to do a finger prick to get blood tested for lead; well Luke asked her to do his other finger. (Yes, he liked it, I did as a child too. Weird I know.) He continually asked again and again. So in the end she gave him a bandaid for the other finger as well, for doing so well. He was so happy. He also got one more of his Mama's trait. He talks a lot. He just has so much to say.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUKE!!!! We love you!

Pumpkin Picking

2010-10-29T19:35:00.001-07:00

On Thursday it was such a beautiful day so we headed out to pick pumpkins. We went to the Farmers Market. They have some pretty cool fall decorations. It was really fun.

Luke is picking out his pumpkin.

Kaylee is picking out her pumpkin.

Great picture in front of the pumpkin house.

Then they immediately wanted to get off the seat and go play.

Guess Luke decided he wanted back on the seat.

Luke was talking to this sign.

Kaylee poses as a flower.

Luke poses as a raccoon.

Another month, church and the docs

2010-08-22T18:47:00.000-07:00

Luke is 15 months now. He has accomplished so much this month, especially this week. Most of you know I watch a little girl Kaylee. Well, Luke LOVES to do everything she does, play with everything she has and say everything she says. With that being said Luke can sign: eat, more, done and milk. He can say several words, but my favorite of them all is THANK YOU. It is so sweet, it just melts my heart to hear this little boy say it. He can also point to 4 body parts: ear, belly, feet and knees.

Luke started nursery in a new room on Sunday. He is now with kids his age and older. Back when Luke was born, Morgan got Luke a backpack with his name on it. He hadn't used it yet, for it was too big. I saw it when I was getting Luke's outfit and decided to give it a shot. He loved it. He is such a big boy.

Luke went to the Doctors today for his 15 month checkup. He is doing great and right on schedule. He weighs 23 pounds and is 30 3/4 inches long.

Luke is 14 months

2010-07-22T17:21:00.000-07:00

2010-07-18T17:21:00.000-07:00

Thanks to Janet S., Luke got a backyard playset. We took Luke out to play today and he loved it. Here are some pics.

Such a sweet smile :)

THANKS JANET!!!!

Luke breaks through the barrier

2010-07-11T19:52:00.000-07:00

We have a barrier set-up blocking the living room area to the dining room and kitchen. Luke has been trying and trying to get over it, well today he managed to do it. So I have to say goodbye to the barrier now. It was a good barrier and it will be missed. Enjoy the video.

Luke's 1st PROFESSIONAL Hiarcut

2010-07-11T19:44:00.000-07:00

I say professional, because My mom and I have cut his hair the past 3 times. Luke did so very well. How many combs does it take to cut Luke's hair? 3 - 1 to cut and 2 for Luke to play with.

Luke loves his new haircut.

Luke is 13 months

2010-07-06T17:53:00.001-07:00

Luke is on the move more than ever. He can walk now and he gets faster and better each day. He has also learned some new things, so he can communicate better with us. He can sign milk and more. We are working on done now.

Luke 1st Birthday Party

2010-05-25T09:15:00.001-07:00

Luke's Birthday cake I made

How old are you Luke? He puts up one finger for the camera
(he was actually pointing at the camera), but it works.

Luke didn't know what to make of the cake at first. He kept sticking his finger in it,
until I went over and gave him a bite and this is what he did...

Yum, Yum. He dug right into it. Until...

He decided to pick up the cake and toss it over the side. We all yelled/laughed, etc. and it scared him. So he was done with the cake.

Thanks to all that were able to come to his party. Luke loved it and I hope your kids did too.

Luke turns 1

2010-05-22T17:03:00.000-07:00

He calls her Ka Ka. It is so cute.

2010-03-22T16:12:00.001-07:00

Luke is growing so much. He weighs 19 lbs now. This past month he went to the park for the first time, he loves to swing and slide. He still eats anything but potatoes. He LOVES and I mean LOVES Cheerios. He could eat them not stop if I let him. He also got another tooth on the top, so now he has 5 teeth. Oooh yeah, he is also a Daddy's boy. If Daddy is home, that is who he wants to be with (unless he wants milk).

Luke swings and slides for the first time

2010-03-19T17:17:00.001-07:00

Today Luke and I met Beth and Jeremy at the park. We had a picnic lunch, then we played on the slide. After that Luke swinged and loved it.

You get a handsome boy with his new haircut.

2010-02-28T17:56:00.000-08:00

while Mama shopped, cleaned the house and went to my cheerleading games. Here are some pics of Luke and David. I also added my shopping trip pic.

After 5 transactions at CVS and 1 at RiteAid, I made 12 dollars after rebate. WOOOHOOO!!!!!

2010-02-22T07:14:00.000-08:00

Luke loves the camera so much. He weighs 19.5 lbs now. He has also accomplished a lot this past month. He can walk while holding on to something and his top two teeth have made their wait out. Sharp little (big) guys. Luke loves many foods such as spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, prunes, mangoes, and more. There is only one he still hasn't come to like and that is potato. He has also started eating goldfish and cheerios. He enjoys moving his tongue back and forth making noises and clapping. He also loves to destroy what Mommy or Daddy has built. Hehe. We love you Luke, HAPPY 9 MONTH!!!!

What we have been up to...

2010-02-11T11:17:00.001-08:00

Laundry- Luke helped me fold his clothes. He was in charge of matching socks and folding bibs. He was such a good little helper.

Can you guess what Luke is peeking at around Daddy's chair?

The vacuum. He is so scared of it. He usually tries to go and play with Daddy's computer lights (their blue), but since the vacuum was sitting there, he wouldn't. He just sat there and watched it.

What a smile? It's so flat because he is grinding his gums. His top teeth are coming in.

Then on to shopping Luke and I did. After 5 transactions later we got all of this stuff and you are not going to believe what I paid after rebates... did I say pay...

I made 5 dollars. How awesome is that?!!!!!!!! Luke is such a good shopper.

Luke learns to clap

2010-01-30T16:59:00.000-08:00

Luke is 8 months

2010-01-22T08:35:00.000-08:00

Luke is 8 months today. He is 18.5 pounds now. He has accomplished so much. He started crawling, so he is now my little adventurer. It is amazing what he gets himself into. He also just a few days ago started pulling himself up to his feet. Let's just say my tables are becoming more and more plain looking. He also loves to say Mama. He will say it for just about anything. He has tried many new foods such as raspberries, blueberries, apricots, potatoes, and squash. He loves them all. He has also tried to feed himself spiral pasta and oyster crackers. He likes to play with them, he hasn't mastered sucking on them yet. He just chokes on it. Soon though.

Luke loves the camera. Luke at that sweet pose. WE LOVE YOU LUKE SO MUCH!!!

Luke pulls himself to his feet

2010-01-20T16:26:00.000-08:00

Luke crawls for the first time

2010-01-10T14:53:00.000-08:00

Luke has been scooting, rolling, pushing, pulling, army crawling, etc. but on Jan. 8th it became a real crawl. Great job Luke!!! Enjoy the video.

Luke is 7 months

2009-12-22T09:57:00.001-08:00

Luke is 7 months now. He weighs about 18 pounds. He has accomplished so much this past month. He can be on his stomach and go to a sitting position. He LOVES to roll and be on his stomach. Lets just say changing him can take a while. He loves every fruit he has tried (even prunes) and eats carrots, sweet potatoes, and green beans. He enjoys playing and giggling with Daddy and shopping with his Mommy.

Luke was rolling so much, he caused lots of static electricity to make his hair stand up.

Luke just did not want to be sitting up, he loves to be on that belly of his.

Luke's First Snow

2009-12-19T09:13:00.000-08:00

Yesterday it started snowing and continued throughout the night. We got about 4.5 inches of snow. It is nice compactable snow too, so David was able to build a snowman. Luke loved the snow, he smiled a lot. He didn't even cry.

Luke sits in the snow and smiles.

Daddy built a snowman, so Luke had to get a picture with it.

Luke looks like a little red walrus. He just laid there and stared at the pretty white stuff.

Daddy and Luke.

Mommy and Luke.

Luke meets Santa

2009-12-10T05:18:00.000-08:00

Luke visits the Naure Center

2009-12-02T08:55:00.001-08:00

While Grandpa and Aunt Ashley were here, we adventured off to the Greensboro's Nature Center. We all had a great time.

Grandpa pushed Luke around in the stroller.

There must be nothing interesting around to look at, so he stares at his feet.

Enjoying the ride.

Posing for a pic on a dung beetle (not pictured) hehe

Luke is 6 months

2009-11-22T12:28:00.000-08:00

This past month Luke has accomplished a lot. He is starting to show some teeth. They are very sharp. He can sit up for a short amount of time without being supported and he scoots backwards. He started eating solids now. He loves bananas, pears, peaches, green beans and sweet potatoes. He weighs about 17 1/2 pounds. And of course he smiles and laughs a lot. :)

Playdate with Abbie

2009-10-23T17:25:00.000-07:00

Enjonae and Abbie came over today for a playdate. Luke had a lot of fun watching and listening to Abbie. It was so cute when Abbie would cry, Luke would look at her and talk. I know he was telling her in baby talk, "It's ok Abbie." He's such a sweet boy.

Luke is 5 months

2009-10-22T10:30:00.001-07:00

I just love that smile. :) He has so much personality now. He laughs, giggles and talks a lot. He likes to blow raspberries (bubbles) and play peek a boo. He rolls over a lot now. He is even trying to crawl and sit-up. He stopped eating cereal for now. He wants nothing to do with it, we think he is teething. We will try to give it to him again soon.

Luke visits Anarctica

2009-10-13T19:45:00.001-07:00

Luke Rolls over

2009-08-13T05:53:00.000-07:00

Luke at tummy time. He was pushing on his hands to lift his head and pushed a bit too hard and rolled right over. He looked at me as if he was saying what just happened Mommy. Then he smiled and I know he was saying that was cool.

Just some new pictures

2009-08-02T19:29:00.000-07:00

Luke got a mobile for his crib. He loves it so much.

Luke smiles.

His first outfit that isn't a onesie. Hehe.

Another coupon deal

2009-08-02T12:34:00.000-07:00

Once again while Daddy and Luke were asleep, I went out to CVS for some really good deals. I did 4 transactions. In the end after coupons, ECB's, etc. I paid nothing. They even paid me 5 dollars to buy it. Don't get me wrong I did pay money out of pocket, but I got more ECB's (money off next purchase) than I paid out of pocket, making it a moneymaker. YAY!!!

I made it!

2009-08-02T12:22:00.000-07:00

I have been wanting a nursing cover since I have been having a lot of company coming over lately. I am cheap and crafty, so I made my own. I bought it for its colors. Blue for Luke and Purple for me. It cost me less that 5 dollars and less than one hour to make. YAY!

Luke is 2 months

2009-07-24T12:32:00.000-07:00

Luke is 2 months now. Wow! He is getting so big. He went to the doctors yesterday. He did very well. He got his shots too. He weighs 12 pounds now and is 22 1/2 inches long. Some achievements from the past month: He can hold his head up very well, makes good eye contact, grabs objects, and boy does he talk and talk. He is a going to be a talker like his momma and Aunt Ashley. :)

Super Doubles @ HT

2009-07-22T08:53:00.000-07:00

I am still at 3 cm dilated. His head is completely effaced. My water is under a lot of pressure, so he could come any day. We will see.

39 weeks picture

2009-05-17T14:18:00.000-07:00

I got a request to take a 39 week picture to see if he has dropped any in the last 3 weeks. Compared to the pic a few posts ago, he has dropped a lot. Also, I go to the doctors tomorrow. I can't wait to see how much more dilated I am.

Appt: Update

2009-05-11T13:47:00.000-07:00

I had another appt today. I am now 3 cm dilated. I am still doing good. I have had some contractions, but nothing major. It is exciting to see when he decides to make his debut.

32 weeks belly picture

2009-03-28T10:59:00.000-07:00

Luke is 32 weeks now, so 8 weeks to go :) Do you like my basketball I have?

I had a request to show my face in the next belly picture, so here it is. It's me!!! Surprise!

An update on how things are going. I have gained 33 pounds now (which is great) and I am measuring the correct size. Luke is kicking and moving like crazy. He moves the most in the morning when I get up, he is just like his mama (a morning baby). YAY!!!! He has had the hiccups at least once or twice a day for the last week now. It must mean he is growing. I had a baby shower at work. It was fun. We got a lot of gifts and a huge gift card. So with this gift card we went today and got the car seat and stroller. It is the Graco Passage Travel System- Abbington. Thanks to ALL my coworkers for the shower, it was great. Then today Dave, Luke and I walked in the Human Race 5K. It was fun, I did the entire 3 miles. It wasn't hard at all. One last thing, several people have been asking where I am registered at: Babies R Us and Walmart.

Hiccups and update

2009-03-22T16:34:00.000-07:00

On Wednesday night Luke had his first hiccups. It was so funny. After so many hiccups, Luke would move as if he was trying to fight it off. Dave enjoyed feeling the movement, watching my belly move in every direction and listening to the hiccups.

Also, we are doing well. I am right on schedule with my weight and size. I have gained 29 pounds now and my belly is 27 inches (I am suppose to be between 26 and 28). I give God all the glory for this pregnancy. I will be 31 weeks this Tuesday. Wow, time is flying.

Homemade gift

2009-03-08T16:16:00.000-07:00

This is a papoose my Aunt Betty made Luke. I like the greens she did it in. The papoose is not all though, this is awesome: There is hand mittens, baby booties, a small hat and a large hat, oh yeah can't forget the pocket she put on the papoose. This stuff could not be cuter. I can not wait for Luke to use this stuff.

THANKS AUNT BETTY!!!!!

March Snow

2009-03-02T05:58:00.000-08:00

We woke up to 4 inches of snow this morning. It is so very beautiful. Here are some pictures to share.

Icicles were hanging from our gutters, from where it first rained then snowed.

You can see the 4 inches here. Plus, it made a cool cross picture.

The trees were so white. Some trees were hanging funny from
where the snow weighed too much.

Luke especially liked playing in the snow, he couldn't keep it off of his belly. (hehe)

Luke's Quilt

2009-03-02T05:52:00.000-08:00

At Christmas Great Grandma St.Clair made Luke a quilt blanket. There was a few more special touches Grandma needed to do on it. Well, this weekend they came into town (Cary that is). She gave Luke his blanket. It is so soft and beautiful. He is going to love it. We also got to hang out with the family. Luke was such a good boy, he went around kicking and moving for the grandparents and the great grandparents.

THANKS GREAT GRANDMA ST.CLAIR!

My boy is growing. He is sticking out a bit in the front compared to my last photo I posted. Enjoy!

Our son has a name

2009-02-13T14:40:00.000-08:00

His name is Luke Matthias St.Clair.

There is a story behind this that is pretty awesome. God gets all the glory. It all starts about 4 years ago. I painted a picture of a baby in a womb during worship art time (I paint based on what God leads me to do).Usually when I paint, God highlights someone for me that the painting would touch. Well, this painting God did not highlight anyone. Every time someone got pregnant, I thought it was for them, but God did not confirm it. So I stored the picture away in a folder with other art.

On Tuesday my Ladies Group started a new study called He Speaks to Me by Priscilla Shirer. My friend Morgan asked if I would share my worship art with the group, to show them how God speaks to me. I agreed. When I was pulling out my artwork I got to the picture of the baby in the womb. I showed everyone, then I stated "and the verse is" --I started to cry. I told the group the story above and then stated "I just realized who this painting is for." Lets just say it had my son's name written on the back. The verse was from Luke 1:39-41. Dave and I just decided a few days before this meeting that his name was Luke and Dave picked out the name. It was so cool. God is so amazing. I can not believe I painted my son almost 4 years ago. Also, Luke means Light giver. In the painting the baby has light coming off him. THANK YOU LORD!

Now for his middle name. Dave has always liked this name. It is from the Bible in Acts 1. Matthias was chosen to replace Judas as one of the disciples. If you are wondering how to pronounce it, here you go: Ma-thy-is.

Baby clothes

2009-02-13T14:38:00.000-08:00

These two shirts came from my Mom and Ray. The penguin sweater is soooo cute. I like the saying on the one-z. That is so true- "What happens at Grandma's house, stays at Grandma's house."

23 weeks belly picture

2009-01-25T11:48:00.000-08:00

Well I am 23 weeks now. More than half way, wow does time fly. I haven't done a belly picture lately, so here it is. It's all boy baby.

The lastest ultrasound picture

2009-01-20T17:02:00.000-08:00

Below is a picture of our baby boy's lastest ultrasound picture.

Ok, Ok, it's not really him, but this fits our kid to the T. My boss told me that my kid would be in the womb typing on a laptop. So many people said we are going to have a geeky child. So he is definetly geeked at birth. Hehe. This was an advertisement in Dave's computer magazine he reads.

The Ultrasound

2009-01-12T16:03:00.000-08:00

The ultrasound was so much fun. We had a great time seeing all the little features of our little boy. That is right, it is a little boy. So all those who guessed boy, congratulations. At first the lady was telling us he was going to be easy, because he was in good positions. Well, after a few pictures, she wanted pictures of his brain. She needed him to turn over. She pushed on my belly, but he wouldn't move. He finally turned over, but he turned the wrong way. It was so funny. During the ultrasound the lady was naming all the bones, she states this is his humerus bone. I respond: Dave we have a humerus child. The lady laughed and stated she hadn't heard that one yet.
Also, he weighs about 11 ounces (this is good).

This first picture is your typical 2D profile of the baby.

This picture is a 3D picture of our son yawning. He yawned throughout the entire ultrasound. He is his father's son (Dave yawns alot too). hehe

This is another 3D picture I just had to post. After about 10 3D pictures he posed like this for his last one. He is definitely saying NO MORE PICTURES!!!!! I think it is so cute how he is hiding his face.

The NEWS

2009-01-08T14:08:00.000-08:00

I wanted to make a quick post of what we are having.

IT'S A BOY!!!!

I will post later of how it went and post ultrasound pictures. :) YAY!

The Baby Kicked

2009-01-06T18:02:00.000-08:00

YAY!! I finally felt the baby kick. It happened Sunday Night as I was getting ready to go to sleep. It was so cool. It felt like a flick against my hand (which was on my belly). Also, please be praying for us tomorrow as we have the ultrasound. It is not only to see the gender, but to see the health of the baby. Thank you Lord for this little blessing. :)
