Luke's a Cruiser

Luke has been cruising for some time, but I wanted an entire blog post about it. He's really alot more active than Seth was at this age, and he's really cute. Luke currently loves to take his food and drop it on the floor and say, "Uh-Oh". Also, when you go in to rock him because his teeth are coming in and he's crying at 2am he likes to drop his pacifier on the floor and say, "Uh-Oh". Yeah, it's still funny then too.....ok, maybe not so much.

Luke crawls and looks alot like a desert lizard. He goes so fast that his legs and arms really fly around his body in an odd way. All I can liken it to is a lizard running across the hot sand. He also loves to crawl over things. Seth likes to just lay in front of him and have Luke crawl over him. They both think it's halarious.

Seth's favorite sandwitch

We were in Subway a couple of weeks ago and I was ordering sandwiches with Seth hanging off of one of my arms (not unusual, he likes to swing there). Anyway, I ordered a footlong turkey with lettuce, tomato, onions, and pickles and then asked him what he wanted. To my surprise he replied, "I'd like a foot and cheese sandwitch too!". Now whenever you ask him what kind of sandwich he wants, he says, "Foot and cheese, please!".

Feagle

Well, Seth and I make deals by putting our thumbs up and saying "Deal". He recently started using other fingers and just making words up. For instance, he would put up his pinky and say "Peagle", followed by his first finger which he dubbed, "Deagle". Today we did deal with our thumbs and then he just grinned, stared me straight in the eye and said, "Feagle". I looked at his hand and to my astonishment he was flying the bird, the "middle man", the.....well, he was flipping me off, middle finger held high and proud.

I laughed, so he thought it was funny. Big Mistake.

He had to learn this right before Luke's first birthday party too. Sheesh! Over the next couple of days he floated the bird to his Nana, Papa,  Uncle Chris, Aunt Michelle, Luke, his Mother, and myself several times. Nana had the best reaction by simply stating, "Yes, that's your middle finger."

Many thanks to Mike and Kristy for one of my new terms used to discourage this....."middle man always needs a friend!". :)

Las Vegas

I'm currently in Vegas at the IBM Information on Demand conference. The conference is awesome, but I really don't like Vegas at all. Everything reeks of smoke and there are drunk people (right beside sad people) everywhere. Nobody seems happy and everything feels fake and looks like a facade.

It's like Vegas is this place where people who are really bad at math go to pretend like they're having a good time while they waste their finances away and ruin their lungs and kidneys at the same time. It's really sad.
