AC/DC Greatest Hits Video

Ben - the drum section is for you :)


11 on the 11th

That has to be some sort of special 'birthday' doesn't it??? It's not the golden one, maybe silver??

We are now in the last month of 'babyhood' and will soon officially have a toddler - wow!! I gave a lot of updates on what is new with Luke in the "These Days..." post last week. We haven't really made much more progress on the walking front. He is getting better at regaining his balance rather than falling to the ground, but no more steps than last week have been taken at one time. We'll get there....

His newest favorite thing to do is climb the stairs...uuuggghhh! He really showed no interest in this at all before. He would maybe climb one or two steps and then would go do something else, now he is going ALL THE WAY UP! And he thinks it is the most fun game ever!!!



I tried to take some 11 month pics this morning, but he wouldn't quite sit still so these are the best I got - of course still cute :)









Then I tried again when we got home....can you say 'not in the mood'?????? Whoa!!!





Things got better once he had some baked ravioli that I made for dinner. The peas on the other hand he could do without - I don't think he touched one on his plate, and he kept spitting them out when I would give them to him.







The rest of the night was good...some playing and reading....





We are getting closer to the big 1st birthday celebration....I hope this month goes slowly because I am not sure I am ready to believe that we will have a one year old!!!!

We love you bubba!!!

Toyland

Why do I bother putting the toys away every night??? Because what would Luke have to look forward to the next day if he didn't get to pull e v e r y s i n g l e toy out e v e r y s i n g l e night! He is too funny!!









Are there any more toys in here????


Just about got them all....


Who put all these toys out here that I have to climb over????


Just another day in the life.....


This is exhausting.....






That's our silly boy :)

Our Saturday

Wally decided not to go to his hunting classes this weekend - the weather is just too nice (70 degrees in November...seriously!!) and he doesn't HAVE to go before this year's hunting season. So here is some of what we did today....

Baby-Proofing




Luke took Nala for a walk :)


A little swing time







A little jail time





and music making









Some hang time



and some sliding






Nala patiently waited while we played at the park


and finally, a little light reading before bathtime

Friday Fun II

Friday Fun I

Lucas very much enjoys pushing furniture (chairs, stools, his high chair) around. He pushed a dining room chair into the living room and couldn't stop crawling underneath it...who needs toys!!!

I will also be posting a video montage of our Friday Fun (because who doesn't love to watch and hear the little guy be silly). We put up a gate to the laundry room. The door doesn't latch shut so he can push it open and can't seem to get enough of Nala's food and water so we try to keep him out - he was quite intrigued by the gate so that is why there is so much video taken in that area.

Enjoy!







Fellow blogging friends that use One True Media....the embed code doesn't seem to work when I copy it from the website to here or I will create the post from One True Media and when I add my own text and pics, the video appears to still be here, but you can't see it...what am I missing???? Thanks!

Getting There...

I swear every night Lucas is getting closer and closer to actually walking - it really is amazing to watch. I can't believe it!!!

Here is a pretty good video of him taking some steps. At one point last night, he walked from our dining room table to almost between our couch and loveseat in the living room (you know that distance if you know our house)...it was crazy!!! He really wants to do it and is getting so steady...I just can't believe we 'almost' have a walker!!!
