We have a molar

Well Luke has been a little on the whiny side the last few days. Just not quite himself. Last night we went to dinner with Lindsay and I had to take him outside for the first time ever. Jason ate his dinner and then relieved me. Good thing my BFF Loralyn has sweet Aurora who is Luke's age and I read her blog last night and realized when she said Aurora was getting her molars that could potentially be Luke's problem. Sure enough this morning I saw one tiny little point through on the top left side (all his teeth come on the left side first!). This evening he has another point out. Hopefully this goes quick and I get my funny happy kid again soon!

I'm so in love!

Luke and I have been doing this nightly routine lately of him drinking his bedtime bottle and us cuddling up to watch an episode of Yo Gabba Gabba. Now Luke doesn't watch much tv and when he does he only watches a few minutes at a time. Sometimes he will even turn on the tv himself go sit in his chair and then less than 5 minutes later he will turn it off. But when it comes to Yo Gabba Gabba the kid is hooked. I have become fond of the Sleep episode and it has been on demand for a good month. So Luke and I cuddle up and he gets his bottle and lays his head on me and I get to run my fingers through his hair (he absolutely loves this! He does it to himself all the time and sometimes when you rub his scalp he lets out a little moan its so cute) and just have 2o minutes of cuddle time with my otherwise very busy toddler. He is just so darn busy lately he can barely spare the time to give you "love" anymore. Well tonight was our last night of being able to watch this particular episode because it is no longer on demand as of midnight tonight :( Not sure I will really click with any other episode like this one but I guess I have to try if it means more cuddle time with my little man. Tonight while we were watching it I couldn't help but think how freaking much I love this kid! He is so awesome and I could never imagine living without him!

Oh yeah and my kid is getting pretty smart. He now can touch his nose on command! This happened the other night. And today I was getting him rubbing him up with sunscreen and I had the sunscreen stick I use for his face next to us and he picks it up and starts rubbing it all over his face! Of course the lid was on so he didn't do it but I couldn't believe he did that it was too darn cute. And as with everything he applauded himself after doing it!

Hot Wheels!

We got Luke his first little cars yesterday. He loves playing with them at daycare so we had to go to Toys R Us to get a new inflatable bath (mommy popped it this time) and he was being good so I got him a few hot wheels, a few matchbox cars, and one of the cars from the movie "Cars". He was so excited when I handed him the box in the store he started pointing to them and making all kinds of noise but that was nothing compared to when I took them out of the box at home. The kid squealed and his face lit up. It was so cute! He immediately started rolling them around on the floor. It amazes me how he even knows what the heck to do with them but I guess he learned it from the boys at daycare. Mommy and Luke played cars for a long time. I was laying on the floor and we had 2 cars and I would make them go all the way down the hall and Luke would crack up then run down the hall to get them and give them back to me just to do it all over again and again and again! So stinking cute!

He has also known the song If you're happy and you know it for some time now but it still cracks me up every time I see him stomp his little feet on the ground. He is learning something new every day! His new thing that seems to crack him up is when we close our eyes for a second. Then he will close his eyes and when he does he closes them so hard it takes all his strength. His fists are clenched and he is squeezing them closed it seriously makes us laugh so hard which then makes him laugh. He seriously has the funniest personality. Someone said he was going to be the class clown when he gets older...lets hope not but it could happen he is one silly kid.

Park Fun

Luke and I met friends at the park today. He had fun thinking he is a big boy.


Jackson and Luke "pinky swear you won't tell my mom"

Couldn't keep him off the slides. He thought he could climb up so he spent half the day trying.

Jack & Luke!

He loves this thing

He found this little lion he could climb in. He was so proud of himself for being able to do it!

Kaminsky Family Summer Party

We had our first and I'm hoping to be annual fake 4th of July party this weekend. We did it on July 3rd since everyone usually had stuff to do on the 4th. It was a lot of fun. First we went down to the pool where Luke and Rory really had a lot of fun. After that we went back to the house to grill up some yummy magic coffee rubbed flank steak and corn along with lots of other snacks and food. I have to say I was absolutely horrified at all the junk my kid ate and how dirty he got. He had about 7 or 8 slices of watermelon (Jason counted 6 that he gave him and I gave him at least one or two pieces myself) and then Auntie Loralyn filled the snack cup with baked cheetos and Luke and Rory sat in the wagon and ate tons and tons of them until they were both orange. Then when it came time for dinner Luke didn't touch his burger but did eat the pickles I put on his plate. Not to mention the bites of Smores he got from me and who know what he got from other people. He doesn't normally eat that much bad food in a week let alone one evening! Then I have no clue what he got into because he had black soot like stuff all over and then he was playing with the sidewalk chalk. He was soooooo dirty. As soon as our guests left him and I took a shower to get him ready for bed. We had an amazing night and want to thank all of our bestest friends for coming! Here are some of my favorite pics:

At the end of the evening my very dirty child

After his shower he is getting ready for bed doing what he does best bottle and running his fingers through his hair.

This little dude is so darn cute!

Luke is all boy running around barefoot getting dirty and pushing a dump truck.

Jason was trying to show off Luke's grilling shirt and his apron but Luke did NOT want that to happen.
