Luke Robert is TWO!

Our sweet Luke Robert is TWO!!!  It makes me a little sad that my baby is growing up.  But at the same time, we are obsessed with him and the stage that he is in!  Everything he does is just so cute. :)


First and foremost, he is OBSESSED with sports!!!  He always has been, and his passion has only gotten greater!  All sports.  He'll throw a football, hit a baseball, kick a soccer ball, shoot a basketball.  All.  Day.  Long.  He loves watching sports on tv, too.  It's so funny to me how babies/kids are just born with a "thing".  Some love cars, trucks, or animals.  Sports are definitely Luke's "thing".  At least for now!

Other than sports, he loves playing with his animals and has taken a new interest in trains!  He loves looking at books, especially if there are balls or animals in them.  He LOVES swinging and really doing anything outside. 

He wants to be doing anything his sister is doing.  He will play with dolls and dress up if it means he gets to play with Perry.  Their bond is really sweet!  For the most part, they get along and are sweet to each other at this stage, which makes me sooooo happy!  He also looooves playing with his cousins!  We are so blessed to get to "live life" with them down the street.

He doesn't really like to eat.  Haha!  He just picks throughout the day and hardly ever eats much at one time.  Lunch is his least favorite meal by far.  He just isn't a big food guy.  But he sure loves his milk!

He is so sweet and sensitive!  My sweet, sweet boy gets his feelings hurt easily and has the cutest sad face ever.  He loves cuddling with mommy.  He cuddles with us way more than Perry did, and I LOVE IT SO MUCH!  He is getting more chatty and is saying all kinds of new things.  My favorite is "hold you" when he wants us to hold him.  I love it when he reaches his arms up and says "Mommy, hold you!"

I can't help myself, so here are a bunch of photos from a couple of impromptu photo shoots :)









My last time putting my ONE year old to bed.



I got emotional that night, so I had to sneak in to see him before I went to bed!


We celebrated the birthday boy with donuts, presents, and a sports-themed party at my parents' house with the fam.  It was a perfect day!













My boy, my baby.  We love you, Luke Robert!

4th of July

4th of July was super low-kay this year.  But really, that's par for the course for us! ;)  We had a pool day with friends the day before, and we spent the afternoon of the 4th at my parents' house!  Homemade ice cream, festive drinks, swimming, and a few fireworks - it was perfect!










And unrelated to this post, here are a few pictures lately just because...

A night with my bestie...


My silly, freckle-faced girl...


Frozen-themed movie night...


Social distanced baby shower for sweet Karalynn...because #2020.

Perry Frances is FOUR!

Our best girl is FOUR!!!!  How?  It's like she matured overnight.  She has been so much fun lately, talks to me like an adult, plays with incredible imagination, and she just amazes me every day.  She loves crafts, dancing, and more crafts. ;)  She is smart, hilarious, super sweet, compassionate, the GREATEST sister who adores her brother, high energy, chatty, and a girly girl.  I'm so proud to be her mommy!




I'm a little late in documenting, but it was a very happy birthday for Perry Frances!  After sleeping in our bed all night (an out of ordinary treat for Perry!), she woke up to balloons, donuts, and birthday presents.  John took the day off, and we just spent the morning playing with her new loot (Willa the Wellie Wisher doll was the highlight).  That afternoon we went to Mumsie and Popsie's house with the whole family for a fairy-themed party that included swimming, pizza, cake, and more presents!




How amazing is this cake?!
