Big little Lukie

Oh my. Lukie's personality is certainly starting to shine! He is hilarious!!! What I find the funniest is that he is very unintentionally destructive. He grabs everything, spills everything, and throws things around without a second thought, or concern for where it goes. It is so funny. I call him my little wrecking ball. He does not think about consequences (not that I would expect a 6 month old to completely grasp that concept), he just goes. He does not try to figure out how things work, or even care about different textures or colors or noises. He just bangs it on the floor, shoves it in his mouth, and throws it all around until it is out of reach. And he has so much fun doing it! If he finds something exciting, like a book for example,  he hits it as hard as he can over and over and over again. Oh, my big little guy!


Already I can see that Luke is not as outgoing as Anthony. He loves attention, but pretty much only from mom or dad, or in an environment where there are not a lot of people. He usually doesn't really enjoy being passed around at church, and did not like the big family gathering last month. Luke is also very cuddly though. He loves being held, sang to, and read to. He likes to pull on your face while you do these things. I have told him many times that my ears are not removable, but he just keeps on trying!

These two together are gonna be trouble, I already know. And I think Luke is going to be the rougher of the two. I can see it now... Anthony will come up with the ideas, and Luke will carry them out without a second thought. I can just see Anthony getting Luke in to trouble by "daring" him to do crazy stuff. I'm gonna really have my hands full! Hahaha!

Anyway, in the past week or so, Luke has tried pureed carrots, and sweet potatoes. He very clearly prefers the sweet potatoes, and since adding a feeding of veggies every day he has been sleeping a little bit better at night.

On a side note- why did I ever think that making our own babyfood would be a pain in the butt? It is so so easy! And I feel much better about feeding Luke things that are not prepackaged. Food processors are awesome.

Anyway, it is so wonderful to see Lukie grow in to his own little personality!! :)


I cannot believe he is almost 6 months old already! Where is the time going?

Spring is Finally Here!

Finally! I feel like Spring has finally come to stay. My allergies are killing me, and my skin is reacting to sunlight in true Jess fashion. I'm pretty sure I have solar urticaria. WebMD told me so, so it must be legit. Seriously though, I do have all the symptoms and it seems to be getting worse with age. It's kind of awful but the fresh air is so nice, I can't stand to stay inside. I likely am going to have to get some sun protective clothing. If I was worried about being cool before, wearing a long-sleeve swimsuit really will seal my fate as a very, uncool mom. hahaha! Last week was so nice out that we took the whole week off from school and focused on enjoying the weather and preparing for Easter. The homeschooling community likes to say that instead of taking off for snow-days, we take off for sun-days. I do love that flexibility.  Today, we started back up with school again but the boys still spent most of the day outside in the fresh city air, and our day was pre...

Old Beginnings

     Well, I fought the urge to create a completely new blog and decided to update this trusty old dumping ground of musings and stories. I am not sure what this will end up being, if anything at all other than a fun website to look back on in a few years, before websites become obsolete altogether. The truth is, I really enjoy hearing the sound of my fingers tapping away at the computer keys. It makes me feel like I am doing something productive, even though I am not.      Here I sit, at 11:40pm on a Tuesday night and I wonder what exactly tomorrow will bring. It's strange to be able to predict with almost complete accuracy the grand scheme of the day, but also not know what quirks lie ahead. For instance today, I knew that the kids would be going outside to play. I did not know that before bed my 4 year old would claim to have broken his leg while outside and beg me to carry him up the stairs to his room (which I did). I did know that we would start a n...

Dinner time???

So for once in my life, I was so excited to have a nice dinner ready by the time Ian got home. He told me he would be home at 5pm. I called him at 5:30 and found out he stopped somewhere to pick something up that he was looking for on craigslist. The following conversation happened: "Where are you?"  "Picking up that vcr/dvd player we talked about." "What?!?! WHY!!! DINNER HAS BEEN READY SINCE 5!" "Well, it is 5 mins away from work so I figured it would -make sense to just get it now."  "Ugh , well now dinner is cold"  "You guys can eat without me if you want"  "No. Are you kidding me? I did this for you! We aren't eating without you!" "Ok, so what do you want to do?" "What do you mean 'what do I want to do?' I JUST WANNA BE MAD ABOUT IT!!!" *I laugh because as I yelled that last part, I caught wind of my complete irrationality.*  "hahahaha, ok well you can do that. OR...
