Happy 9 Months Old, Luke!!

Photobucket

Luke is 3/4 of a year old. Wow, that has flown by.

My sweet Luke is still such an easy baby. My friend affectionately refers to him as the fake baby because he rarely cries. Seriously, he only cries when he is hungry, tired, or hurt. God's grace is very evident. I think He knew I could best handle an easy going baby!!

Luke is crawling very well and has been for awhile. He pulls to a stand and can stand alone for a few seconds. He gets into EVERYTHING! His favorite thing is to stand up and hit the television and also to turn on Brett's PS3. When we tell him no, he just laughs at us.

Luke is definitely a big boy. He goes in for his check-up tomorrow, so I am not sure of his exact stats...but he is well over 20 pounds already.

We call him Pookers. We had not come up with a good nickname yet (except for Lukey), so Brett started calling him Pookers. I thought it sounded terrible, but it has stuck! I have no idea how, but we all call him Pookers!

I adore my sweet baby. He goes with the flow and is such a sweetheart. He adores his brother and sister, and they adore him! It is so precious to watch them interact with Luke.

During naptimes, I often hear Luke laughing hysterically at Caleb. Not sure what they're doing, but I know the brotherly bond is growing stronger each day.

I cannot believe how fast this year is passing. My adorable third born is such a tremendous blessing to our family. I am so thankful that he is healthy, easy, and just plain cute!! I love my Luke!!!!

The Book I May or May Not Write

I have the nicest friends in the world.  When I write a short, quippy thing my kid said on Facebook, my very nicest friends will say, "I can't wait for you to write a book." I sort of feel like people are American Idoling me....you know, encouraging me to do something I'm passionate about even though I am not really good at it---never thinking I would actually have the audacity to pursue it---but then they're in too deep with the lie....but even so, those comments make me feel good.  (Which is kind of weird, possibly narcissistic, because it's actually my kids being entertaining, and not my words.  Yet I press on.) I wrote for 31 days straight in October, and I discovered maybe I am not so good at writing more than 2 sentences at a time.  So I decided maybe writing a book wasn't in my future. But then I spent a lot of time thinking during November and realized that, even if no one reads what I write, I think it would be really fun to put into words w...

Another Child One Day

Going back through my posts, I realized I had a few blogs I wrote but never published. One is when I was wavering between adopting or birthing our fourth child. One thing is for sure: our family is not complete. I cannot explain that other than I just know. For awhile there, I was strongly contemplating adopting, but for now, I am leaning more towards birthing the last child. In fact, I am most certain, God willing, that is what our plans are. We are trying to decide when to try to have a baby. And by "try", I mean get pregnant. I have many weaknesses, but fertility is not one of them. In case you can't tell. Our kids are fairly close, so one part of me wants to get pregnant in about 9-10 months....and be done. Forever!! But another part of me wonders if I should take a longer break. See, I have this really weird feeling (that is probably not going to happen) that I will have twins. For one, Brett has always wanted five kids, and I only want four. Things jus...

Christmas Traditions

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Along with pretty much everyone else, this is my most favorite holiday. As my children age, it just keeps getting better and better!! Establishing traditions is one of my goals during the holiday season. I am a sentimental person, and I am hopeful my kids will grow up with fond memories of their childhood Christmases. Most, if not all, of my traditions are not original. I glean ideas from others and make it my own. The Happy Home Fairy is a wonderful resource for making your holiday magical. The Williams Family traditions: - We stay home for Christmas. We travel during the holiday break, but for Christmas Eve and Day, we are home. To be honest, this was hard to do because I know family members on both sides want to see our kids, but I wanted to do what was best for our family. We welcome anyone who wants to come visit on Christmas, so we are great to have others in our home. And there are many reasons we choose to stay home. ...
