Ok, so I just realized I need to be journaling to keep trcak of all the day to day things that happen with our family, so here goes.  I am at work now (and should be working).  I dropped Luke off at school this morning around 7:15 (after getting donuts).  They didn't have donut holes at Shipleys' (gasp), so Luke got a big donut.  He was so happy to have a BIG donut that he couldn't contain his excitement.  I thought he loved the donut holes...maybe the big donut is the way to go from now on. Ms Amina talked with me this morning about Luke's eating habits.  She said he doesn't eat much, won't try most of the school food, and will usually eat only the banana and raisins that I send in his lunch.  That boy and his eating...I hope we can get him to start trying more foods soon, but we haven't really been proactive on that lately. 

Owen is 7 months old and is such a smiley, happy baby.  He always lights up when we talk with him.  He woke up at 5:30 this morning and sat in his walker while Shawn got showered and dressed.  He's such an early riser!  He sits there making all kinds of sounds and smiling at us when we look at him.

Luke also woke up early (around 6am) and asked for Daddy to bring him downstairs.  He always wants Daddy in the mornings.  Shawn turned on the TV for him and he asked to watch Tarzan. 

Last night we had a guy come to give us a quote on media room equipment.  We've been in the house for almost 2 years with nothing in that room.  It will be a little wierd when it's all full and ready for TV viewing. 

Ok, better get to work now!

New Years Day

It's 10:45pm on January 1, 2010. One of my resolutions was to start a journal, so that I can look back on this special time we have with Luke as a baby. He's growing so fast that I know it will be so hard to remember all of the little things he does every day. We had a rip-roaring day - first we went to Spring and visited with Grandma, Aunt Kathleen and all of the Montemayor kids. Luke really enjoyed all of the activity around him and didn't seem bothered at all when the older kids almost stepped on him. :) After lunch at Chili's and more playtime at Grandma's we left to go to Methodist hospital to see PaPa. We're optimistic that the specialists in the med center will get Dad back on his feet. We stayed a few hours to wait until the drs were finished with the ERCP. But Luke got a little fussy, so we left there earlier than we wanted to. We ate at Willie's on the way home and then came home. Shawn gave Luke his bath and he squealed because he loves his baths so much. Luke got a bottle and then to bed. He didn't stop "talking" to himself and fall asleep until close to 10pm!
