Dan always says that the reason he has a big barrel chest is to hold his humongous heart. It looks like Choobie inherited it from his Dada. (The big heart, not the big chest) At the zoo he kept trying to feed this Orangutan his churro! 
He also has an obsession for anything that resembles a little seat for him. He loves to sit on curbs, ledges, rocks, speed bumps, and those cement bumper things in the parking lots.
Along with doing EVERYTHING himself, he has now decided to claim the chair in the living room as his own personal throne. He does most things from the comfort of his chair like kicking back with his sippy and reading books.
From the minute he wakes up till he goes to bed at night, he can be found hanging out in his chair.
He also thinks the expression below is his best look. I'm not sure why. He comes up with weird stuff like this all on his own.
Even though Lukey Boy has been feeling better these days, he still refuses to let go of his beloved blankie (which he refers to as his 'naw-naw' pronounced gnaw gnaw) sippy cup, and binky when out in public. At first I thought it was no big deal for him to constantly carry these items around the house with him but now he won't let go of them! We have even let him take them in the tub with him because we are big old weak enablers. Luckily we have 2 naw-naw's so one can hang up to dry out while he sleeps with the other one. The only good thing to come out of this sick spree is that he REFUSES to drink a bottle anymore. He thinks it will make him barf. Kind of sad but also really AWESOME because now I don't have to wean him from his baw-baw. Apparently I just need to wean him from his blankie, binky, and sippy cup. Rad.
Please look at how this meerkat is totally copying my kid. Excuse me?
Luke LOVES this little donkey. It's the one from the old Budweiser Super Bowl commercial about the donkey that dreams of being a Clydesdale. He has no fear when it comes to touching this little guy and all of the big Clydesdale's in the barn.
After dropping a bunch of weight from being sick for so long, we've been trying to fatten him up by feeding him his favorite: fried stuff with salt. In the process, Luke has now become a very cautious dipper of ketchup. He carefully dips the french fry and then sucks all the ketchup off. He continues doing this until all the ketchup is gone, and then throws the french fry on the ground. Good Job Dude!
Okay so my hair is really long and straight and won't hold a curl and will destroy any type of hair accessory I attempt to put in it except for the heavy duty hair bands you buy at the beauty supply store. Bottom line: I have a lot of thick hair and not a lot of time to do it. I used to put it in a pony tail but now my hair is so long it gets heavy halfway through the day and I get a bad headache. So, to avoid afternoon migraines I usually put it in a braid at the nape of my neck. Dan HATES IT! He calls it the moose tail. When I ask him why, he says, "because it looks like a moose tail flappin' around back there." One Saturday we were going to the zoo and I thought to myself, Hey, I'll try a french braid and see what Dan thinks. So I spent a long time on my hair (approx. 5 min) working the wet locks into a french braid all by myself! I was so proud. When I came out in the living room to get my coat, Dan says to me, "what the french moose?" I wanted to kill! Please help. I need some other hairstyle options besides "original moose" "french moose" and "headache ponytail." Any style advice must not include blow drying. I get so hot and sweaty after 40 minutes of drying the beast that I need a shower again when I'm done.
As for Luke's Hair, both Dan & I love it long. Everyone tells us he looks like a girl and that it's all ratta tat but I don't care. Get over it!
His latest expression.
Love this little boy!
