Christmas Day
We had our typical marathon Christmas… morning at our house for our gifts to each other, then off to the Pierce’s for breakfast, then to Grandma Cintron’s for lunch, we had just enough time to take Luke home for a quick afternoon nap before heading back out to the Kaczka’s for the gift exchange there. We were so exhausted after we left the Kaczka’s that we had no energy to come up with something to eat for dinner, we found one fast food restaurant open on our way back home… Burger King. I can honestly say… it was fabulous! Overall, Christmas was fun. Technically it wasn’t Luke’s first Christmas but it felt like it. He was more interested in the paper, and then once the gift was opened he didn’t understand why we took him away from that toy and tried to get him interested in the next. =) My favorite gift for him was a pair of WeeSqueak shoes from his Auntie Kat… they squeak with every step so I always know where he is!
Christmas Eve
We had Christmas Eve back at our house this year. Luke dressed up as Santa Clause. (The silly things we parents do.) We had both sides of the family there, lots of food, wine, and snow! It was a beautiful night. Brad and I made our first prime rib, Luke tasted his first prime rib, and Elisa made out with the fabulous Starbucks gift card during the gift exchange! It was a good night!

How old are you?...1!
We had Luke’s first birthday party on Saturday, the 15th. Wow! That was crazy. I have never seen kids so crazy. Most of the kids there were older then Luke, but they were attacking his gifts… that’s for sure. It was crazy but fun. Luke’s cake was his first taste of cake. He was a bit unsure of it. Tasted it very carefully, and then really didn’t care to eat much of it. We will be celebrating his birthday again on his actual birthday on Tuesday with just our little family. He’ll probably be more comfortable that way. Here are a few pictures of his party, more will follow after Tuesday.
M-I-C-K-E-Y-M-O-U-S-E!
We took Luke to Disneyland for a week. We had a so much fun. Luke threw up all over the Finding Nemo line when we were almost to the front (after a 45 minute wait). But other than that… he was a trooper. He liked Dumbo and Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride, and didn’t do too shabby on the flights. Slept both ways! Anyway, we had a really great time, here are a few pictures.

Thanksgiving
Luke had a great time on Thanksgiving. I still can’t believe how big he’s getting. He insists on feeding himself. Luke loves to eat, which made Thanksgiving a day he really enjoyed. He got to try new things and enjoyed having all the adults stare at him. He definitely put on a show for everyone. His hair is still out of control! We were going to take him to have it cut, but there really isn’t much to cut… we’ve just got to figure out how to tame it. =) Any suggestions?!

November
Wow! How fast time flies. Luke is now just days away from 11 months, Thanksgiving is just day’s away and time keeps passing faster then we can keep up with. I can’t believe Luke will be 1 in just over a month. We’ve been planning his first birthday since June. =) Yet we’re still not sure what we’re going to do. Hopefully something simple with friends and family…
Luke’s still growing so fast! He’s very tall and thin. He smiles all the time and thinks everything is called “Dada” lately. He refuses to say “mama” these days. I think he knows it drives me nuts. He’s starting to really interact with the dogs. Maggie has finally come around and decided he’s not so bad. He’s a bit more independent leaving time for mom and dad to pay a little more attention to the dogs. The dogs like to play with him, often times bringing their stinky, grimy toys and dropping them in his lap, which he then shoves in his mouth! GROSS! I’m washing the dog’s toys with bleach almost daily now since I can’t always control what he’s going to do with them. =)
Here are a few pictures taken in the last few weeks. We had to get a “play yard” which is basically a little pen for kids. =) He’s all over the place and after a fall down our long, steep stairs we decided we had to find something we could stick him in if we had to turn our backs for more than a second. He didn’t like it at first, but now he doesn’t mind so much. Oh… he’s newest trick, you ask him what the “Puggie” says and he’ll scrunch up his nose and snort! That’s what he’s doing in one of the pictures.
