Little crawler

I don't know if this can be considered actually "crawling" but Luke is definately mobile! Poor guy could hardly get traction on the kitchen floor but still managed to maneuver himself around. This is for you Grandma Gail!!

The Pumpkin Patch!!

This last Friday we took the afternoon off and headed to the Pumpkin Patch in Bismarck. We met Jim and Jess and the boys there for our annual (almost :) Pumpkin Patch visit. It was a beautiful day and we had fun walking around and taking some cute pictures of OUR little pumpkin! :)

I think Fall is here...

This was the scene outside my patio door this evening. Chilly weather sky and autumn colors already...

A little of everything

Naptime for Luke (and sometimes I wish for me too!)

 

 



This was taken on one of our noon picnics that we took with daddy this summer.

So when Steph and kids came to visit, we ended up spending a day in Bismarck to shop. We stayed at my mom's and Nich happened to be there. Of course he played for us and then let each of the kids (and me) play too!

Luke in the highchair that mav refinished for us. This high chair was his grandma's and she used it for all her kids.

What a ham!!! I didn't even know Mav was taking a pic but Luke was sure ready and able to smile at the camera!

Four generations.

MILESTONE!! This is the FIRST time that Luke has gotten himself up onto his hands and knees ALL BY HIMSELF! Good timing with the phone camera daddy!

Check out this awesome birthday cake my mom slaved away making for my birthday (29 again...). It was DELICIOUS!

Great Grandma and Lucas. I will cherish this photo forever.

The cutest boy EVER!

Oh So Sweet Potato Puree

A few days ago I attempted to make my first homemade baby food. I took zucchini from our garden and mixed it with fresh carrots. I was so proud of myself and was so excited to have Luke try it! Two days and five feedings later, I couldn't get the little bugger to eat any of it. Enter my sweet sister Jessie. She bought Luke and me this awesome cookbook called "The Best Homemade Baby Food on the Planet." I tried my first recipe from it tonight (with leftover sweet potato from supper). It was super easy but turned out looking pretty professional. And the best part was that Luke actually seemed to like it!
