Precocious

Precocious - that was the word the woman used to describe Luke after church on Sunday.

If the weather isn't the best, we sometimes walk through the school attached to the church to get to the parking lot. Luke was walking along on his own, pointing at things, smiling and got especially excited when he saw a paper school bus on the wall (loving buses these days). The woman first told us how cute (actually I think she used the word beautiful) Luke was and then she asked how old he was. Wally said 15 months. She said "My, he is precocious."

Well, I have to admit, precocious isn't a word that I use often, if ever, and since it has been a long while since I took the ACT and needed to know that "sort" of word, I had to look it up :)

Here is the definition according to dictionary.com:

pre·co·cious  [pri-koh-shuhs]

–adjective
1. unusually advanced or mature in development, esp. mental development: a precocious child.

So thank you very much Ms. Church Lady, we think Luke is mighty precocious as well ;)

And here are a couple of pics of our precocious little man (and Nala too)!

Sunday Funday

We checked church and the grocery store off our list early on Sunday so we changed into some comfy clothes and had some fun! (Yes, Luke's clothes don't match, but who cares...it's Sunday Funday.)

MISCHIEF!

This is what high school baseball looks like....

COLD!!!!! It actually wasn't too bad. If only there was no wind because the sun was shining! We didn't stay too long, but Luke had fun while he was there!

Luke and the Bunny

Not too bad :) This was just before he reached out for us to get him!

Bad Mommy

After Luke got his haircut this morning, I stopped by the Village Hall to buy some tickets to the Bunny Brunch and Easter egg hunt tomorrow morning. Unfortunately I heard the dreaded words "SOLD OUT"! The lady said it sold out last week. Bad Mommy. I have known about the brunch for awhile but had just planned on getting my tickets today since it was on the way home from the salon. I guess that was a bad idea. Bad Mommy. I am so sad. I was really looking forward to it. I know Luke doesn't even know so it's not that big of a deal, but I know, and I feel bad. I know he would have loved running around with all the kids. Bad Mommy. So we will head to the mall this afternoon to get a picture with the Bunny...

Girls Weekend

This past Saturday night this momma spent the day/night in Chicago with her momma and sisters! We didn't let the return of winter ruin our trip. We shopped, ate lunch and drank some beer at an Irish pub, laughed, shopped some more, drank some wine at the hotel, laughed more, had the scariest cab ride of our life, ate some dinner, drank some more, went to a comedy show, laughed so hard we nearly peed our pants, and ended the night with some more drinks, laughter and dancing....it was a good time :)

Grass = Gross

Hopefully you don't get too tired of the outdoor pictures! This video is hilarious though - Luke does not like to touch the grass. It took a couple of times outside to get him to finally walk in the grass, but if his hands have to touch it - forget it! He was not like this last summer and fall so hopefully he gets over it soon!!!

School Pictures are In

Well...no smile, but no tears (only on the verge of them!). He looks as precious as can be :)

And this group shot - can you believe it only took 2 shots?!?! Everyone is looking and only 2 kids have their fingers in their mouth! Look at Mr. Studly front and center :)

Spring Has Sprung

Today it felt like Spring had sprung...unfortunately by the time the weekend comes around it will feel like Winter is back :( But Luke and I were sure to get out and enjoy this weather. I had taken a half day because of Luke's doctor's appointment and what a perfect day for a 1/2 day of work it was! Luke took a nap when we got back from the doctor's and then we headed out for a nice long walk and some fun.

What a life...Mom, you push me while I eat some goldfish, drink some water, and enjoy the weather!


Pointing at the cars


He doesn't want to pick up sticks or mulch, he would much rather hold the big stone!






I think we will have to do more pictures on the rocking chair....




Love that face!







And he's off...there were some kids and a puppy down the block that he REALLY wanted to check out!


Oops...his little legs didn't quite keep up!
