This sad picture will break your heart.....

Just look at those eyes!
I wanted to get a picture of him crying, because everyone thinks I have a perfect, never crying baby. I do have a great baby, but he's a baby he cries and throws fits. But the picture above made me feel bad for taking the pictures so I had to stop.
"How could you mom?"

Confessions of a Shopaholic

THE MOVIE!!!!
Everyone is SO excited and they all blog about the Twilight movie coming out, which I will go see and most likely finish the book before I do. With my classes, working, being a mom & wife I am pretty busy for Twilight reading, but I'm getting there!

Anyway, I LOVED the Shopaholic series and Disney is coming out a movie of the first book. I am so excited! I'm glad it's from Disney so chances are it will be a clean movie (not that the book is dirty). Isla Fisher plays the compulsive shopper living in Manhattan, Rebecca Bloomwood.
I'll be at the movies on February 13, 2009!!!

Labor Day

On Labor Day this year we decided to enjoy a nice relaxed day, with no laboring involved.
We decided to go on a picnic to a park relatively close by, Squires Castle. Apparently we weren't the only ones with the idea, it was a pretty happening place. We had our little picnic and went for a little walk, you can walk through the castle.

While we were eating Luke sat quietly in his stroller just being a good little boy...
Then he decided he wanted to get out and didn't need mommy or daddy's help.

"Hey Mom look at this cool new trick I learned.
Stroller rides are going to much more fun from now on..."

"Who needs these straps anyway?"

Later that evening we decided to try a new restaurant we went to Abuelo's (Mexican)
we were very excited, because we love Mexican food. We were a little disappointed, the food wasn't great, but it was still a nice dinner. After we went over to the dollar theater and saw The Incredible Hulk. We were both a little lost because neither of us saw the first one, it was still pretty good, but not nearly as good as X-Men, Spider Man or Bat Man....(I love the "Man" movies except for Iron Man)

Luke also decided he didn't like his little bath tub anymore and graduated to the real bath tub.
He loved it but its definitely not as safe.

Oh and he got his first piece of mail yesterday, he was pretty excited
(don't worry it was only in his mouth for two seconds while I took the picture, yuck)

GO TRIBE!!!!!!!

Friday night we went to a Cleveland Indian's game!
We had a lot of fun and we were glad our good friends could come with us.
The Indian's were playing the Seattle Mariners, this was the first game we've been to that they've lost, it was close and they were on a ten game winning strike!

Luke was a champ! After the game they did an awesome firework
show (way better than any I've ever seen) and Luke slept
through the whole show, thank goodness we were able to enjoy the show!

When ever we'd block the jumbo tron Luke would do whatever
he could to see it, like arch his back or flip around. He loved it, it was so funny.

Jason & Marilyn we're glad you guys could come!
Jason held Luke for a while, they had fun playing, it was a nice little break for us.

The prettier side of Cleveland.

The look on Matt's face cracks me up.

They shot off the fireworks from right behind the flag, it was really pretty.

Jason & Luke playing around.

I'm finally giving in....

It's time I take the the plunge.
That's right I'm finally giving in and reading the praised books, The Twilight Series.
I've had the first book since before they started to be so popular, I read the first half and never finished the rest (I rarely do unless I'm really in to it). So I'm giving it another try, I'll let you know what I think!

Here we go...

7 Months Already?

I can hardly believe that Luke is 7 months already!
He is growing so fast, it's hard to keep up with.
Here are some new milestones he's reached!

He got this new shirt I love, so I had to take some pictures, of course!
(He looks like Mr. Monk)

Luke has had a mean scream lately, he's probably getting his top teeth. He has been super fussy, last night we decided to take him on a walk, but we didn't want him to fall asleep so we carried him and he fell asleep anyway. We tried so hard to keep him awake, he just zonked out on daddy's head.

He's learned to pull himself up in his crib, which makes going to bed and naps hard. We put him down and he climbs up and holds on yelling, talking or screaming. We come and do it all over again until he falls asleep. One thing he has yet to learn is how to get down from a stand, he gets up, but can't get down.

I find him peeking quite often.

We pulled his swing back out to see if that would calm him down a little and he just likes to hang off it like so.

He's graduated from scooting to crawling!
Since about 51/2 months he just did an army crawl, the past week he's learned the real thing.

And he's learned to pull himself up on everything else. Which means he falls a lot and bonks his head, this is when I WISH we didn't have hardwood floors. He doesn't really cruise around very much yet, thank goodness.

Oh he gets very excited about this one, being able to see over the edge of the pack'n play...

Although he struggles a bit with this one still.

Other things he's been doing lately, is sleeping pretty good through the night, getting into EVERYTHING, being a big stinker at diaper changing time, he's very very squirmy! He's talking a lot and he's started taking a bottle and best of all he'll eat Cheerios and the Gerber Graduates Puffs. He loves eating off my peaches, watermelon and sucking on apples.
