Sunny Picnic

Lukey had a picnic play date with his buddy Micah.

Lying on a comfy blanket... these boys are livin' the life!

 

Super mugger!

Random Adventures

Crazy Lukey goes on random crazy adventures on a daily basis!

 He's inherited Mommy's "gimme gimme gimme" face.
 

 Daddy & Mommy will soon be suckered into buying him a train table.
 

 Preparing for preschool (in the Fall).
 

 Lukey & his dino shirt have the same expression!

 Crawling in his favorite crawl place @ Valley Fair's kiddie playground.

 "Huh?" - Palo Alto Junior Museum

He doesn't know about quarters and "vehicles" moving yet.

10 - Double Digits!

This might be the fastest year of my life! I can't believe we're in double digits and there are only TWO more months till my little big guy turns 1! A reality check moment happened when I read my email this morning and Amazon was no longer sending me "baby" emails, but "toddler" ones. Is my baby a toddler already? Yikes...

Thank goodness I only have 2 more monthly pictures to take. This guy will not sit still and refuses to smile during these takes.

One of his favorite hobbies, bothering Dot!

Wan-Pei-Jai

Maybe it's because I see him nearly every waking hour of his life and know his behavior, but the more and more I look at this kid, the more I see his wan-pei ness smiling back at me.

his cuteness helps him get out of trouble

 

Daddy claims this is what he looked like as a kid...

homeboy has a love for bowls (all sizes)

 

Here he is tormenting (poor) Dot. 

 

 A typical day 

Children's Discovery Musuem

Luke's been going wild at home lately. He crawls around like no other and just enjoys touching everything he isn't suppose to touch. I have never said "NO" so many times in my life! Anyway, I thought CDM would be a good place for him to get rid of his energy and touch everything to his heart's desire. Unfortunately, he's been a little timid around new places lately and has been more of an observer. Lucky for him, we now have an annual membership, so hopefully he'll get used to the CDM and cause a havoc there instead of at home! *crosses fingers*

somewhere upstairs

the tower of big blocks just tumbled down on him

hoping he's tired after 2 hours at CDM

nope, still has energy to play with his toys at home

Daddy's Birthday

This year, daddy's birthday was a tad bit different.

1) We didn't go out to a nice dinner because Daddy wanted Luke to join in on the festivities.
2) We didn't even go out to a decent dinner because Daddy was sick. He requested soup, so we went to Kunjip for some delicious, comforting ox tail soup.
3) We didn't have a cake because well... a cake for 2.5 people was a bit too much. Instead, we had one Mochicream each!
4) Presents weren't as extravagant as in the past because Mommy no longer has an income.

Boy, have times changed. However, what we both agree to is that there are some things which money can never buy. Look at this boy, he makes everything better (regardless of how much destruction he makes when he's awake).

Happy dragon birthday, Daddy!

Monterey Bay Aquarium

This weekend, we took our first family trip with everybody in our small group to Monterey. We were probably the group nobody wanted to be near (5 families: 10 adults, 7 kids).

our only family picture @ MBA

Luke's favorite part of the aquarium, I think it's time for a trip to CDM...
