Baby Luke Clothes

We took out Luke's baby clothes in preparation for the baby's arrival. We made the mistake of telling Luke they were his when he was a baby, instead of saying they are the new baby's clothes. Luke is into playing "Baby Luke" recently anyways, so he decided this was the perfect opportunity to look the part and selected a 9 month jumper, which he wore proudly, unsnapped and all.

Trucks

The local Public Works department hosts a weeklong event where kids can come explore and ride the different work trucks. Even though Luke loves trucks, it took a few visits for him to warm up to the whole idea ... especially since the older kids were going to town on the really loud horns.

For the first two visits, Luke would only drive the digger/trencher (his official favorite) and the pick-up truck.

By the third visit, Luke was ready to explore the bigger trucks. I think it helped that his favorite person in the world was there (that would be the guy in the front seat below).

Grader - - my knowledge of construction vehicles has increased signifcantly in the past year or so.

Visiting Daddy at the Big Office

We went to visit Daddy at the "biiiiig office" (as Luke puts it) for the first time in quite a while. Luke has been requesting this a lot lately and was very excited to finally get to go.

Here's the biiig building. A lot of times when we are driving around and Luke sees a big building, he'll say "that look like Daddy building".




Working hard.




Luke was also quite pleased with lunch at CiCi's. And let's be honest, so was Mommy.

Music with Jack and Daddy

Thanks to a couple of garage sales, Luke is now the proud new owner of a very manly, purple and pink guitar (50 cents) and some bongo drums ($1). Perfect for jamming along with Jack's Big Music Show.


And, especially perfect for the Baby Bongo Bird episode ... notice the BBB playing the bongo drums on the t.v.


In this pic, you can see that BBB plays the drums with his beak. As a result of this, I will sometimes see Luke leaning over and "playing" the drums with his mouth as well. It's not very effective, but it is very entertaining. Alas, I do not have a picture of the mouth-drumming.
