LUC-ISMS

luc has been talking our ears off this past few weeks and to say we love it is a complete understatement.  orlando and i spend all our time together laughing and giving each other looks of surprised delight over the newest thing to come out of his little mouth. i think talking is my all-time second favorite developmental stage- right after the gummy newborn smiling.

a few gems lately:

{first thing in the morning, handing me my glasses} 'mommom eyes on. put eyes on.'

'mommom wuv you' {first time he's ever said it unprompted!}

{after our car got a flat tire} 'oh no! boo tar broke. papa did it.' {oh no! blue car broke. papa did it.}

{in the middle of the sacrament} me: 'luc we need to use our quiet voices, we're in church.'  luc, yelling: 'no church! no bread! no agua!'

{luc's first prayer, i only helped with two words!} 'jesus. dank doo food. wuv you. jesus. amen.'

{the other night from his crib when he was supposed to be sleeping} 'hello mommom? hellooooo? knock knock! where are you? papa? helloooo papa? …silence… oh no, mommom papa lost.'

{as he looks all around the room} 'bebe seeser {baby sister} where are you? where bebe go?' {then running over to me and triumphantly pulling up my shirt to see my bare belly} 'there he is!'

and my new favorite thing he does- he's learned to jump with both feet {and he loves it} so now everywhere we go, he walks like this: step step !jump! step step !jump! it makes for very fun, very slow walking haha.

this kid is the happiest part of our lives, he seriously lights up our home with his humor and imagination. there's never a dull moment and i love it! he has handled the move pretty well. we had a couple of whiny days right after we got here, with him begging to go back to nana's house or his cousins' house alll day loooong. but now he's made a few friends here and he LOVES having his own room again with all his toys unpacked. it's been like christmas, every time i unpack a new toy he jumps up and down with glee and then plays happily for hours. {it is AWESOME!} we love our little man so much, and can't wait to see what else is in store for us as he grows.
