Maternity Photo Shoot

We had Maternity photos taken on Friday and I just wanted to post a link to our "sneak peek". I'm very pleased with them so far and think she did a great job! Luke had a blast showing off and doing his own thing even though he wouldn't do quite what we wanted him to, it should still make for some great candid shots! Luke was also a great helper in cleaning the house and getting it ready for the pictures! I posted a few pictures of him below trying to help clean. He LOVES the vacuum cleaner and later I caught him with his bath time rag dusting the shelves and glass without prompting from anyone! I'm not sure how he picked up on that seeing as I don't generally dust and when Eric does, he uses the swiffer duster. I guess he's just getting too smart for his own good! - Sneak Peek

I don't think I mentioned before, but Luke has become really attached to a particular blanket, which, for the life of us, we can't figure out why. It started about 3 or 4 months ago and at first, he just wanted to have a blanket in each hand right after his nap and in the mornings. Then it eventually became one particular blanket and even though I was adamant about not letting it leave the house, it has somehow made its way into the car. I am going to stand my ground on not letting it leave the car though! It can stay in the house or car when we go somewhere, but that's it! Just call him Linus! It's pretty cute though how anytime he's upset or tired or in trouble he calls frantically for that darn blanket! He's a nut!! Oh and one other thing, we finally taught him to say, "I love you"! It usually comes out as more of " I you you you", but it's super cute anyways!!

Luke also likes to help Daddy mow the lawn:
