Today Luke and I took my Mom to her chiropractor’s appointment. While she was at her appointment I took Luke to Target to burn some time. Target was pretty busy today and we had to weave in and out of people as we were going up and down the aisles checking things out. One of the aisles we stopped at was the tricycle helmet aisle. We got Luke a tricycle for his birthday and needed a helmet to go with it. As we were trying on some helmets, a very loud "passing gas" sound was made in the aisle next to us. Luke smiled and said, "Toot." Then I smiled because I thought it was funny he said that... Seeing my reaction he then said it even louder, "TOOT." Then someone in the passing gas aisle snickered... Which made me smile more, but at this point I was starting to get embarrassed because Luke was really starting to really get into it and obviously caught someone in the act :) Then Luke started saying, "Mommy Do It!".... "Mommy toot".... "MOMMY TOOT" and was still getting louder and louder. At this point I was completely embarrassed. The way Luke was saying it sounded like he was calling out that I was the one who made the initial sound, so those people near that aisle, likely think I was the “one” (and I WASN’T for all of you wonderers out there!) I guess this is the first of many embarrassing moments I have to look forward to :)
Bring em' on!!!

Nap time with Mama
Because of my Mom's chiropractic appointments this week, my Mom and Dad spent a couple of nights with us (since the chiropractor is close to our house). This has been great because Luke has been getting some valuable 1:1 time with Mama and Papa. This afternoon my mom helped me put him down for a nap... She read him one of his favorite books, The Truck book:
Note: Luke looks almost as big as my Mom in this picture. And this is one of those cases where the image IS as it appears :) Luke is really bulking up and getting taller and taller... It won't be much longer, Mama, before he weighs as much as you!!!

Luke and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day (or part of the day)
Today was one of those rough terrible, horrible, no good, very bad days for Lukie. Well maybe not the whole day... But at least a portion of the day. To begin with Luke woke up a bit earlier than usual and when we opened the blinds we were greeted with a gray and dreary rainy day (the fourth in a row). I coerced him to get out of his crib and head downstairs. Once downstairs he spotted his birthday boy balloon from his birthday party and started playing with it while I started working on cooking breakfast. On this balloon is a green clip that has some weight in it so that it weights the balloon down. Suddenly, as I was cooking Luke's oatmeal, he came over and yelled, "Mommy!" I looked over at him and noticed that the green clip was stuck to his hand. He had somehow managed to clip it onto the skin of his hand. As he was whimpering, I unclipped the clip from his hand and said he is OK. I figured it couldn't hurt that bad. To test my theory I clipped the green clip to my hand and boy was I wrong. It actually hurt quite a bit!! OUCH! I told him not to clip it to his hand again. L Poor Lukie!
Later that morning we had to go to the store since we were out of milk. I told Luke we were going to go to the store and he was NOT happy about it. He didn't want to go. He wanted to stay at home and play with his balloon. I told him he could take his balloon with him in the car and luckily that is all it took to convince him. Once at the store I worked on getting him in the grocery cart. It was totally storming out, the wind was blowing (Luke hates the wind!) and it started raining hard. He was getting more miserable by the moment. By the end of the shopping trip he was way past ready to go. We headed to the check out and usually they give him a sticker. Well, of course, going with the theme of the day - they are out of stickers. So no sticker for Luke. He didn't even really complain. But I knew he was disappointed.
We were on the last leg of our trip, after braving the wind and rain again. Luke’s in the car and has his birthday boy balloon in hand and we drive off. About 2 minutes from home, Luke started crying... I turned around to see what was wrong. And when I turned around all I saw was his face all crumpled up and then I noticed something attached to his right cheek... It was that darn green clip from the balloon!! Somehow he managed to clip that to his cheek, near his temple. He started saying, “Mommy off... Mommy off!” and he was crying pretty hard. I could only imagine how bad this was hurting him since I had tried this on my hand earlier in the morning. Since I was on a portion of the road that I can't turn off I tell him “He will be OK. We are almost to our street, just to hold on and to leave the clip alone. Mommy will fix it.” I knew he wouldn't have the ability to unclip it... and I didn't want him to just yank it off either - because I knew that would hurt SO much more!
I kept telling him to hold on... That we are almost there and then his crying gets louder and I turn around and as I turn around I see that he yanking the clip off!!!! Poor baby!! He ended up pulling this clip right off his face and taking some of his precious baby skin off with it!
But the day started looking up when I gave him the sunglasses from the gift bags from his birthday party:

Luke's 2nd Birthday Party
Even though Luke's birthday was a little over a week ago, we finally celebrated his birthday today. We actually did a combined birthday party with Amelia (my niece). Amelia turns 2 on April 21st, so we thought we'd combine this birthday, since they are young enough not to know the difference.
We held the party at the Little Gym in Issaquah. The Little Gym has a bunch of gymnasticky types of toys that the kids could run and tumble all over. Today ended up being a really rainy, yucky day outside too... So it was a good thing we picked a place where we could celebrate Luke's birthday inside.
There were about 20 kids there and double that for the adults... A pretty full house! The people who attended on Luke's behalf included:
And the cupcakes:
(These cupcakes were amazing!!! A past co-worker of mine made the cookies (can you believe how good they look?!?!) and then I added frosting to the cupcake and then smooshed the cookie on top! I love how they turned out! )
And Luke's birthday shirt:

The theme for Luke's side of the party was dinosaurs... Although really the only place the dinosaur theme showed up was on the invitations:

Opening Boxes
Today we bought a new buffet table for our dining room (25% off original price - couldn't pass it up!). Luke was quick to step in to try and help unpack the boxes and put it together with Daddy:

Stop Please..... Better!
Every night when we put Luke down to bed we follow the same bedtime routine:
1. We brush his teeth, then we pass the toothbrush to him so he can brush his own teeth:
2. We put him on the potty so he can go potty (which he has been doing for the past month or so!!!)
3. Put him in diapers and change him into pajamas
4. Get him a small glass of "fake" milk (we put a smidge of formula with a TON of water so it sort of looks like milk). The reason we do this is we want him to believe he is having milk, but then it doesn't taste that good so he won't drink very much of it. The hope is he'll stop wanting to drink SO much before bedtime... and we are thinking that this could help with bedtime potty training (but what do we know? Hopefully no pediatricians are reading this. I'm sure they'd disagree).
5. We read 2 books... Generally "Pajama Time" and lately it's this "Farm Touch and Feel" book that we use to sing Old McDonald to.
6. Then he gets into his "Cozy Sack" all by himself (or at least mostly)
7. Daddy will walk him around his room saying Good Night to a few special things in the room: Plane, Beary, Booey, Rocket Picture, Rattling bear, Fishy Sippy Cup, Piggy, Choo-Choo train picture, Star and Moon nightlight:
8. Lastly we turn off the light and sing some of Mommy's made-up Turtle night light songs. Papa and Mama (my mom and dad) got him this Turtle night light:
When you turn off the main bedroom lights, all of the stars, from the Turtle nightlight project on the wall. There are 3 colors, Green, Blue and Orange. When we turn off the lights, we start with Green and sing the Green Turtle song. This song is set to the melody of "Dream" by the Everly Brothers. Then we move to the Blue color and sing a few lines from "Blue Moon" and then lastly we go to Orange and sing a made-up song by me. Anyhow every time we start the singing process both Luke and I will start singing and Bryan will sometimes join in. Every time Bryan joins in, Luke will put his hand up (as if he is saying, "talk to the hand" and says, "Stop Please" - to Bryan. He's so polite :) ) But last night Bryan kept singing... So Luke had to repeat himself a few times.... Then Bryan finally got the hint and stopped singing... and Luke said, "Better" and Luke and I continued singing merrily. :) Poor Daddy! :)

Bath Time!
It's been a while since I took some bath pictures (and I've never done it for this blog before), so I thought what better time to take some bath pictures than tonight... And especially since we were going to use his new Dinosaur bath towel from Mimi and Poppy :) :

Boots Were Made for Walking
Luke is STILL really into putting on shoes... Today he tried on my boots:
I couldn't get him to stand still - so I apologize for the blurriness of these photos. But surprisingly he could walk really well in my boots:

Try Something New (or something that scares you) Every Day - No Thank You!
I've been watching more and more Oprah (since this is her last season I feel like I can't miss any) and have been trying to take some advice from some of her guests. Generally I feel like she, or her guests, are pretty spot on.... But I have to tell you I did NOT have a good experience with the advice of, "Try something new, or something that scares you every day." Let me just tell you, after my experience today, I won't be doing that again. NO THANK YOU!
Today when I woke up I pondered whether or not I should get Luke's haircut. I went back and forth on it and came up with several reasons why I may not want to:
Answer to #1: I asked Bryan if he was OK with me taking him on my own... Bryan said I should because his hair needed to be cut (I put some of the blame on Bryan- of course I do :))
Answer to #2: His hair was definitely getting unruly. He kept scratching his ears and looked like a little doggie, with all the hair that had started covering his eyes and ears. We also have his birthday party on the 27th and would like to have it a bit cleaned up before that.
Answer to #3: Thought I should go back to the first place we took him since it was only 10 minutes away - give them another chance..
Answer to #4: I know. It is crazy- Everyone is telling me that... But I still am worried about it. And apparently everyone else is too because there is a shortage of Iodine tablets. And if you do find them they are either on backorder or you have to pay somewhere upwards of $200!!
In the end Oprah and whoever her guest was (I think Ricky Martin?) won out. I decided to do something NEWand SCARY: Take Luke to get his hair cut by myself and to take him to the first place we took him to get his hair - How bad could they mess up his hair??.... Ahhh... How wrong I was...
The whole hair cut experience started off quite nicely actually. We walked in, there was NO line, we had our pick of the hair cut stations. Luke was smiling, I was smiling, the hair cut guy was smiling. I asked the hair cut guy if we could pick where Luke sat.... And Luke picked:
Everything was going well. The man even put in a Thomas cartoon for Luke. He told me Luke is "SOOOO cute." I said "Thanks." We do short little small talk. Then told the man how I wanted Luke's hair cut. I've learned my lesson from the other two cuts. They've, in the past,cut his hair too short, so then his hair really flies up in the air and looks even more Hulk and choppy-like. So I told the man to keep it longer in front, trim the ears and back. He picked up a piece of Luke's hair and asks "About this much (and indicates about an 1 inch off! - I told you it was long)?" I corrected him and said less than that and reminded him that I wanted to keep the front longer... But you can take about an inch off the back. He said OK.
Then he began to cut. I was watching Luke and took some pictures:
Before:

Then I noticed that the man picked up the front of Luke's hair and take a huge cut out of his hair... Way more than I wanted him to do and way more than I TOLD him to do. But at that point there really wasn't much I could do. He had already started the processand there was no way to get that hair back. So I had to sit there and watch while my little boy's Hulk locks were cut away. I tried to feign happiness to Luke, and was swearing at myself and questioning, why did I take him here, etc.. Then as I looked over at Luke all of the sudden I can see sadness, or something, in his eyes... He put his arms up and opened and clothed his hands over and over and said, "Hugs!!!" That's usually what he says when he is upset/sad/scared. I couldn't understand what had happened. One minute he was totally fine - sitting absolutely still... Not smiling or anything... But just hanging out. Then the next minute he started saying, Hugs and started crying. The only thing I thought could have happened was that the man had been "buzzing" behind his neck with those trimmer boy things (can't think of what they are called) and I thought maybe the sound scared him.
Fortunately the haircut was over at that point nd we were able to leave. I went to pay him and Luke wouldn't be separated from me... He kept crying and was clinging to my leg. I could not understand what happened. I told him everything was OK, the man gave him a lollipop (which of course I told him was a toy and we sang the lollipop song). :) We got into our car and then drove to PCC for a quick errand.
Once at PCC, I was putting him in the cart and noticed some blood droplets on the back of his neck!!!!!!!!!!! :( I looked even more closely and saw a line across the bottom of his hair line that looks like he had been scratched by those hair buzzer/shaving thing! I was SO irate! I couldn't believe it. That was why he had been crying. I felt so bad. That hair man had cut him!! Picture doesn't do justice below to the cut... I took this picture after wiping the blood off and putting hydrogen piroxide.
After I got over the anger of it, of course I went to my paranoid self and started worrying about Tetanus. Once I realized he was caught up on his Tetanus shots I worried about MRSA. All the while I'm cursing myself for being lazy and going to a place we didn't have a good first experience and also for listening to Oprah and her guest. I should just stick to who I am... Boring and consistent. Do the same things, the same way unless you are 1000000% positive it will turn out fine!
I hope I haven't scarred Luke from getting his hair cut!!!
Long story short.... Drum roll please..... Here is his new hair cut:
After lunch and a little "natural sweet potato gel" left over on his hands, he actually did his own hair into this little "do":
Today when I woke up I pondered whether or not I should get Luke's haircut. I went back and forth on it and came up with several reasons why I may not want to:
- The two other times Luke has gotten his hair cut has been with Bryan, I've never taken him on my own.
- I love his little long blond Hulk hair.
- I wasn't quite sure where to take him to get his hair cut. The one place we had a good experience is 20 or so minutes away - too far for today.
- With the problems in Japan and the radiation leaking... I'm a bit paranoid there is radiation in the Seattle air and hesitate to have Luke outside too much (I know... If you don't know me by now-- you'll soon find out I'm a bit anxious and paranoid)

Smile Sport
Right now these are one of my favorite pajamas on him! I just think they are SO cute. They are thermal pajamas so keep him pretty warm too. He has gotten so used to me with the camera now, that when I get it out he immediately does a huge fake smile :) For him to just look at me "normal" I have to tell him to look at something, instead of smile. Because as soon as I say SMILE... This is the face I get (which I still love):

Because I Wanted To
Mimi and Poppy's birthday gift arrived for Luke today! :) It's a Fred Flinstone type of rock (stuffed) also stuffed with a ton of dinosaurs. We've spent some time naming them: Bruno, Tye, Spike, Nemo... We're still working on the names for the other 3! He loves the gift! Thanks, Mimi and Poppy!
I had to take this picture because I have a feeling that my time of seeing his buns in diapers will be coming to an end sooner rather than later :( I miss it already!!!! I know... Hard to believe I'll actually miss diaper changing... But I will! I know. I'm weird!)

I'm a PIRATE.... Aaarrrrrggggghhh!!!
Jack, my nephew, had the creative idea to have a Pirate party. There really was no reason for it.... He just woke up in the morning and told my sister he wanted to have a Pirate party and that he wanted to invite us, and my parents. My sister let me know that he was busy all day, getting some posters made and doing some decorating. I guess Jack and Jeff had dressed like pirates in the morning and wanted people to come over all dressed up. So we obliged... Or we were told we'd "walk the plank."
Here are some pictures from the party (but please keep in mind most people don't have pirate clothes living in their closets - so we did the best that we could - Especially my Dad. All he had was an old mullet wig from Bryan's birthday Halloween party a few years ago:
Party planner and best pirate this side of the Mississippi:
Momma, Papa and Luke (love this one... It looks like Luke's face is saying, "What the heck is going on with you people?":
Luke and Mommy (people, don't judge..I don't have a stitch of make-up on... I think even the Wenches back in the pirates days used pig blood and rubbed it on their face for blush to look alive. Unfortunately I was out of pig blood)
Luke and Daddy (we were desperate with Bryan's costume - if you couldn't tell. He's actually wearing one of my favorite necklaces):
Family dinner:
My little pirate:
The BOYS:
We had a great time!! Thanks for the invite, Jack!!!!!!!
