Merry Christmas!





Well Christmas is right around the corner. This time of year is crazy. Luke is loving all the lights. On nice nights we go walking around our neighborhood to look at the lights. We have made it to a place in Santee called Starlight Circle twice so far this year. It is really the cutest neighborhood. They sell hot chocolate, hot apple cider, kettle corn, and other snacks that you can get while you walk around looking at all the awesome lights and decorations!

We are in the middle of the worst "teething" we have had. Seriously these teeth are worse than the molars. He has been moody/cranky for weeks. Finally one of them has poked through and the second is just about there, then we will have to do it all over again when the bottom ones come through. I'm ready for teething to be over!!

Luke is growing into such a BIG boy! I can hardly believe it. He listens to instructions very well now and can do something if you ask him(like going to give something to daddy in another room, or put something away in his room or my room). He also answers correctly now. Before he would shake his head NO to everything. Now you ask him if he wants to eat and he says yeah or no and actually means it. So much easier knowing what they want. If we are in another room and he wants something he grabs our hand and takes us to what he wants.
We went to see Santa last week. I was nervous because when I picked him up from daycare he was very very grumpy. My mom came over before we left and said oh you shouldn't do that today he is not happy, but it was seriously the only day we could do it. So we met Jay there and when we get to Santa there are two kids screaming in his lap and we look at each other like oh no. Well Luke catches a glimpse of him and starts waving and trying to get down from Jay's arms. Once the other kids get up he runs up to Santa and says hi! So darn cute! He took several photos with him and then sat on his lap until I looked through all the ones and paid for them. He loved it! Last week our friend had him and took him to the mall and he was very excited to see him again as they walked by. He is definitely not afraid, although considering his grandpa has a full beard and he is not afraid of him at even though he doesn't see him much, I'm not surprised he is not afraid of Santa.
