My boy's a total dude!

People often say that boys and girls are different. As a baby, it was hard to tell. Now, as my boy is reaching toddlerhood (is there an exact point to when toddlerhood begins and babyhood ends?), I'm starting to see more and more that he's definitely a dude.

Story #1:

As I'm just lying around on the floor in his room, he "sneaks" up behind me and puts his finger in my crack and then laughs. This has happened multiple times... I don't want to know what he does with his finger afterward. As a responsible mother, I should wash it...

Story #2:

I like to turn around when I'm at a light and see what Luke's doing in the back seat. When I was driving home today, he had his finger up his nose. When I said "Lucas...", he took his finger out of his nose and put it in his mouth. I continued driving and ignored it...

Story #3:

This morning, I heard him clanking on something upstairs. At first I thought it was the file boxes we left in our room. After a while, it finally dawned on me that the clanging was too loud to be boxes. I peeked in our room and noticed that he wasn't there. Then it hit me! He had climbed over our makeshift "stopper" that divided him from the bathroom and was clanging on the toilet seat. When I went in, water had already surrounded his shirt, arms, floor, and seat. Grossed out, I wiped him clean to the best of my ability.

In a future blog, I have to write about what a great kid he is. He is truly a great kid... with quite ze personality. I love him to death!

Don't let this picture fool you, he's a TRUE DUDE and not that innocent!

Jamba Jamba

Homeboy and I were at the mall and I spotted a Jamba Juice at 10:55 today. So what do I do? Two 16 oz $1 Jamba Juice! Although I am promoting sharing with Luke, there are just some things you don't share. 

13 Months...

At 13 months of age, Lucas has gone over to the DARK SIDE!

Homeboy loves to press buttons since he knows either light or noise will result in buttons. That would explain his obsession with playing with light sabers (this makes Daddy extremely happy). He has also gone over to the dark side because he didn't get the memo that the "terrible twos" happens when you're 24 months old, not 12 months. Oh homie... luckily he's a cutie so he still has Mommy wrapped around his little (dirty) fingers.

Peachies

One sunny afternoon after Lukey's nap, I was on my computer and he was crawling around below me. After a while, I noticed that he was being a little too quiet and staying in one place for a little too long. I originally thought that he was playing with empty water bottles. When I looked down, he had grabbed a peach that had fallen on the floor and was eating it while feeding some of his unwanted peach skin to Dot.

When I said "LUCAS...!!!", this was the look he gave me. How can you get mad at a face like that?

Such a good friend...

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!
