haircut haircut!

the bear needed a trim... so mama trimmed it!

BEFORE: see... long....

AFTER:

the bear squirmmed a ton so there are definitely uneven spots & i think it's longer on top!

but he did enjoy gettin squirted with the water bottle!

hee hee! ihope it looks okay in the morning!

surf watching...

on saturday papa worked on our taxes and afterwards we headed towards the beach since it was so nice out. papa also decided to bring out a surfboard (first time this season)! here are the 2 bears checking out the surf. you cant tell in this pic but the waves were okay. some sets were pretty good, some good size and breaks but also choppy cuz of the winds. when papa put on his wetsuit the lukey bear was so facinated by it. then when papa came in from surfing he just kept staring all wide-eyed at the papa in his suit! can't wait to the the little bear a little wetsuit too.
more sun n surf to come! =)

walking bear...

lately lukey bear has been "cruising" lots... and a couple of days ago he took to little steps... then the other day he took four consecutive steps towards grandma sally... and he's been doing these itty bitty steps here and there and today i FINALLY got it on video!

tony walked at 10months and my mom said rossy and i walked at 9months... so for lukey- it's 10 and 1/2 months- yay!

swiiiings!

i love the swiiiiing!

yay for sunny park days with mama!

sunny end-of-march beach day family fun!

cute things about the lukey bear...

it seems like the bear is growing soo fast and i wanna be able to capture as much of it and share it all, which means i have to be even more ready with my camera....

just the other day in the car lukey and i were clapping with the song on the radio then another song came on that i started to snap my fingers to. he kept staring and he got excited, would clap and then he kept attempting to snap his fingers as well using his middle fingers and thumb just like mama!

the bear often puts his feet up when eating in his highchair and so i wanted to show you how cute it was... sometimes he even has one leg bent and inside the seat...

usually when i play peek-a-boo with lukey bear i'm the one holding the blanket, but lately he's been the one holding the blanket covering his face and then pulling it down...
here's a shot i got of the bear playing peek-a-boo in the car... where's the bear?!

=)

more library & music time!

we were able to make it out again to story/music time at the library today...

and even though luke was tired and ready for a nap before we got there...

he was soooo ready & excited...

especially for music time where there are bouncy songs, songs where we all get egg shakers, songs where we get to wave around scarves, etc...

in fact, lukey bear was such a show off! we sat in front and he stole the show with all his clapping and dancing!

he waved the scarves all by himself!
i tried to get a good shot of him, but couldnt so the teacher grabbed my camera and snapped this one of lukey, mama and our friends kimberlee and chloe...

i love that lukey bear loves music!

some two's...

today lukey bear took 2 little steps.. one foot then the other little foot....

and this morning lukey let me check his top gums and sure enough...

2 top teeth had cut through (to go with his bottom 2 teeth he already has)...

he's growing up fast!

kisses for the bear

skettiii bear

today i went to visit grandma sally & grandpa oscar with my cousins and grandma fed me lots of sketti (spaghetti) and i ate lots of it! mmm mmmm good!

some march pix of the bear

lukey LOVES Elmo!

this morning luke found his shadow and was super happy!

here's lukey driving...

mommies and babies

i absolutely LOVE sunny days and being outdoors...

we just got back from story/music time, grabbing lunch, and heading over to the park with auntie and the girls and my new mommy friends- Kimberlee, Sarah, and Amy. Having mommy friends my age and baby friends Lukes age makes me happy! and it makes me even more happy that they are Christians and that we can share what's going on in our lives, etc....

blue chair music story time!

being a stay-at-home mama means looking for fun, free things to do around town. glendora has some fun stuff like their infant music & story times that we go to on fridays and the story & music time at the Blue Chair childrens bookstore blue chair books

we love our music and story times and hanging out, meeting new friends!

latches, food, and peeeeeee!

yay!- thanks grandpa dean for babyproofing our place! poor lukey, just when he thinks the drawers are gonna open.... closed and latched! bam!

yesterday at grandma sally's, lukey ate some rice with fish and soup and he LOVED it!

the day before that he ate beans, rice and cheese from senor baja and LOVED that too!

and he's been extra hungry these last 2-3 days! he always wants to eat whatever we're having- he starts to smack his lips and it gets watery.. so we try and give him some to taste/try!

he's also been liking bananas and wheat bread a lot lately- he can eat a little over half a bread!

last night before lukey's bath i had already undressed him while his papa got his bath ready. i put lukey down to play with his walking toy while i went to get his jammies and diaper from his room. all of a sudden he was quiet- i looked down the hall and he was standing still next to his toy... i went over and he had a little smirk on his face.... peeeeeee all over his walking toy and a little bit on the carpet! ha, that's what i get for letting him play around naked!
