Pretend Play For One

Who says boys can't pretend play? Luke's having fun running his own one-man show!

Back to back playdates

Though fun, but extremely tiring... (for Mommy)

We started off with our typical Friday morning traditional - off to Micah's we go! Our mommies like to take pictures of us. We've come a long way since our lying down days.

 Luke's had enough with the pictures! "Can we go back to snacking and playing already?!"

On the way back, we stopped by Audrey's place for some lunch and a bit more fun. Luke doesn't seem to like girls that much. He's more into hanging with boys and ignoring each other while sitting next to each other grabbing each other's snacks. Oh boys...

Luke doesn't like being caged up... 

He's having more fun teaching Audrey how to start a FB account.

Lukey's 1st Game

Daddy joined a softball league from work, and since the game started at 6:30 today, we were able to go out and support him! With a nice picnic blanket spread out and dinner (and snacks!), Mommy and Lukey had a grand old time just hanging out, enjoying the warm California sun!

 

Ready for his 1st Giants game in September!

Happy Lucas after devouring a whole PB&J sandwich!

Sharing is caring

Recently, we've been teaching Lukey how to share. He's pretty good with sharing overall  as long as he doesn't LOVE what he has. Lukey's such a good little dude, here he is sharing his Cheerios with Dot. Dot happy, Lukey happy.

I'm a big kid now!

Big kids feed themselves. 

 

They also order their own food.

July 2

This was Lukey exactly one year ago...

This is Lukey now...

We started off the day at Valley Fair Mall. Mommy tried to take Lukey there early so he can crawl around without anyone bothering him. However, a wretched stench came out of Lukey's butt right when he was about to be placed in the car so a diaper change was definitely necessary. 

Lukey is telling Mommy to "push here" (smart boy!).

Since Lukey's 1 now, he swears to tell the truth and nothing but the truth. 

After dinner, it was time to open gifts!

This is the outcome of the gift opening. 

Uncle Sanzies came too and dropped off a burnt almond cake from La Patisserie!

If you can't tell, the birthday boy is sporting his Stephen Curry jersey (won't really fit him till 4 years later).

Today is his birthday... AND bath night, so Lukey, you can make whatever mess you want. 

Happy birthday, Lucas! You're the best boy anyone can ask for. Mommy and Daddy love you so much!

Big Baby or Little Toddler?

Today is Lukey's 1st birthday! That's right... Mommy & Daddy survived (and conquered) year 1! This month, we did more than the usual baby story time, gym time, and CDM time. The two major events which happened this month was Lukey's birthday party and our one week trip to Hawaii!

Lukey's last monthly picture!

All Lukey's cousins came to celebrate his birthday!

Daddy & Lukey time (Lukey got to see Daddy a lot more during these past two weeks. The last time he spent so much time with Daddy was when he was first born.)

Hawaii Shinnanigans

Daddy still had two weeks of paternity leave left, so we decided to hop on a plane and fly to Hawaii!

 

With ticket in hand, Lukey is ready to go to the Aloha State!

Lukey loves linking arms with Mommy - BFFs!!!

Here we are in front of the International Market (we went almost every other day since it was less than a mile from where we stayed).

It was HOT & HUMID in Hawaii! Lukey tried shaved ice for the first time.

Lukey being a typical boy @ McDonald's.

First time at the beach (Waikiki Beach).

... and this is how he felt about the beach.

Daddy looks really happy while Lukey looks like he wants no part in this.

Daddy likes to dress like the little man!
