Flu shots

We all got our flu shots on Tuesday, except Luke, who is still too young. You have to be at least 6 months. Wesley did real good and cried just a little until he got stickers and a sucker, then he was fine. Every once in a while during the day he would whine and say it hurt. Then he wanted me to kiss it and he would be fine. Kissing his boo boos always seems to work.

Well, its starting to get really cold now. Even though I don't particularly like cold weather, it makes me get more in the "holiday spirit and mood." Pops and Nana(mark's parents), are coming down for thanksgiving this year. Then, that Sunday we are going to have Luke dedicated. I'm sure I'll have some pictures to post of that. We're having a thanksgiving dinner at our church this sunday, which we do every year. This time of year always seems to be so hectic, crazy, and busy(I couldn't think of just one good word for it)! I think we have something going on every week in december. I ask myself, is all of this in celebration of Jesus's birth or something else? I always tell Wesley that all the christmas decorations are for Jesus's birthday. Now, whether that's true or not for some people, I think its very important for us to instill in him, at such a young age,& Luke too, the true meaning of Christmas.

I posted in an earlier post of Wesley in the washer. He has always been hesitant to get in the dryer for some reason. He finally was brave enough to risk it :)

 

I could not belive that Wesley put his arm around Luke for me to take a picture. I was so happy.

 

I thought this was so funny how Wesley is looking at Luke. He is like "that's enough."

 

Alot has happened since my last post. We went trick or treating on halloween and had a great time. I don't know who had more fun, Mark and I or Wesley. Luke came along too but slept the whole time. Our church had a fall festival and had a bunch of games and stuff like that. I went on the hay ride with Wesley, which he really enjoyed. His favorite things were the bouncy thing with a slide, and the putt-putt game. We also went to our local fair here Thursday night and had a great time. My dad watched Luke and then our friend from church came and watched him the rest of the time, so my dad wouldn't have to travel home late. This is the first year where he could really ride all the kiddie rides.

Luke had his 2 month check up today and got his first shots, which I hate. He is not a big crier, and when he does cry, its just a little cry here and a little cry there. Well, today was the most I had ever heard him cry. I felt so sorry for him. I hope he doesn't have any major side effects from it. Well, anyway, we were shocked to see that Luke weighed 15lb. 4oz and was 24 1/2 inches! Wesley, at 2 months weighed 13lbs. 8oz. and was 24 inches. So, Luke is heavier than Wesley was at this age and just a half an inch taller. He's a big boy. Here are some recent pics.

I'm making a sound here that always makes his eyes get big & he looks all around, wondering where its coming from.

 

Thumbs up on the ferris wheel.
