Okay, it's been a while since I've posted...like 10 months or so. I'm realizing that Luke's second birthday is just around the corner, and I last posted pics just after his first birthday. Whoops!

So, here's a picture of Luke and his cousin Gwen recently after a cold morning at the park. They were going down the soaking wet slides and picking up pieces of ice so we decided to get some hot chocolate then plunk them down in a warm bubble bath. Luke was a little put out that someone was invading his tub, so Gwen tried to give him a kiss. I think that put him out even more. The end result was pretty cute, though.

In other news, Luke's favorite new song is "Hooked on a Feeling." He likes to sing the "ooga chakka" refrain while Marty sings lead. Luke's starting to horn in on the lead, though, so I think Marty's afraid they won't end up winning the big daddy-baby karaoke contest that's bound to be coming up soon. Oddly, Luke really seems to like the creepy David Hasselhoff music video that Marty youtubed for him recently. Here's the link so you can watch it over and over and over again and enjoy yourselves as much as we do every night! If you look really carefully at the revolving cube at the beginning, you'll notice the dog barking along to the refrain. Luke is convinced that's Phoebe and he keeps telling me that we wants to sing "ooga chakka with Phoebe."

Thanks for checking in! I'll try to keep posting more regularly now - especially since I'm keeping up with my other blog Parenting Pearls of Wisdom. If you haven't gotten a chance to look at it, check it out and let me know what you think!

Here are a couple other recent Luke pics.

And one of Halloween Marty...
