Luke with Santa 2007
Luke with Santa 2008

We went to Quail Springs Mall today to get Luke's picture taken with Santa Clause. It didn't go as well as last year. But what I really can't believe, is how much he's changed. He almost doesn't even look like the same baby.

On the way to Sam's

Kyle: Have you been to Sam's recently?
Me: No
Kyle: Well, you won't believe all the awesome stuff they have now.

Heard today

"I love Sam's. If I could have a shopping spree anywhere, it would be Sam's. I could spend a million dollars in that store."
---spoken with reverence, Kyle Soper

Luke is a BAD BABY!

Does this pose look familiar, Audra?

He refused to eat lunch today. And by refused to eat, I mean, he ate not a single bite. NOT ONE! So I tried again an hour later and all he would eat were his peas. So, now he has to wait for supper. (He doesn't have a temp) I don't know what to do. Give him the same thing he refused as lunch (he's eaten it before) or try something different. I emailed Luke's pediatrician. We'll see what he says.

SO

I HAVE A HEADACHE AND NOTHING TO TAKE BECAUSE THE 6 BOTTLES OF EXCEDRINE (THAT I GOT FOR FREE) I CAN'T TAKE BECAUSE THEY UPSET MY TUMMY!
