Lukey Chukey Lately

Oh, how he loves wearing my glasses.
If only the camera on my phone were as fast as his grabby-hands.

Snuggled up with the little pillow and blanket Cat made
for Eliza's birthday doll.

This is how a kid is supposed to sleep in Mom and Dad's bed.
Perpendicular to both Mom and Dad.

We were in the church waiting for the rest of the play group to arrive when Eliza
and Luke decided to be brave and walk down this dark hallway.  Luke wanted
to hold Eliza's hand, and she agreed, and they were brave the whole way
down the hall.  I think that companionship must make everyone feel more brave.

When Grammy had the audacity to bring Luke books when she visited recently, he
collapsed on the floor in a puddle of tears.  But in no time at all, he was snuggling up
on the couch with her, asking her to read another book, and another one...

 

(Nom nom nom) "You're right, Daddy."
(Nom nom nom) "Thai restaurants do make the best rice."
Okay, maybe the only thing he was saying when I took this
picture was "Nom nom nom."  You guessed it.

Luke went through a cute but brief LEGO phase, where he loved making "ships"
and wanted to take them everywhere, and got very upset if they came apart.

Yesterday at dinner Luke decided he'd had enough of everyone else's noise and shenanigans.  He pointed his spoon at each of us in turn, commanding, "You be quiet.  You be quiet." Then he announced, "I am the only one in charge."  I suppose that sometimes, the baby just has to demand to be heard.
