Ultrasound Pics!

Today we had the pleasure of really getting a good look at Baby #2! We went in for our final ultrasound, and were able to get some 3D shots of his face. In the first picture you can really see his cheeks and nose, and in the second you can see his little lips! Cannot wait to meet him!! :)

Baby Sprinkle!

On Saturday morning Katie threw me a Baby "Sprinkle" for Luke's little brother! It was such a nice morning and I really enjoyed spending time with everyone :) Unfortunately a few people couldn't come due to illness - darn flu season!













Play Doh Video

I posted this on Facebook last week, but forgot to put it on the blog. Here's Luke learning a new game from Daddy!


Snow!

We finally took Luke out in the snow! There wasn't much snow left, but he still had fun marching around the back yard in his new boots!

Painting!

I was very excited to introduce Luke to painting today! We got him a nice, big pad of paper and a basic set of watercolor paints, and he had a great time playing with them! It took him a while to get into it, as he was much more interested in dipping the brush in the water. However, he started getting into it more when he realized he could use his fingers - it was a lot of fun! (notice he only used his right hand with the paints!)









New Coloring Book!

We picked up a new coloring book for Luke last night, since his old one was looking pretty grim. It's really neat to see how his coloring is improving! Obviously, he's still just scribbling, but it's slightly more intentional. He'll now try to color in certain parts of the picture, instead of just making marks all over. And as you can see, he doesn't seem to have picked a dominant hand - he'll draw with his left for a while, then switch to his right! I recently read that boys take longer to determine a dominant hand while girls settle on one more quickly. So who knows!

Evening playtime

The best part of my day comes in the evenings, when the three of us get to play together at home. I especially love to see Luke and Drew play together! Lately, Luke has become quite the climber, and really enjoys getting rides from his daddy :)






We also had some fun with his beach bucket!



Construction Toys

For Christmas, Luke got some really cool construction toys. Marmee and Grampy got him a great ride on toy, and Katie got him some Black and Decker tools with a toolbelt (that she made herself!).
