Chicken, Chocolate and Choo-Choos

I've been feeling a little yucky these past few days. My upper front teeth are finally coming in and I've started running a fever every night which makes me cranky and very clingy.

Last night I was so NOT like myself - I actually wanted MOMMY to hold me instead of Daddy. So you guys KNOW something's up.

WARNING - this is a long post - my dedicated hardcore fans will be in heaven!

While dinner was cooking, I goofed off with Brother tonight.

He had something called "Fun Dip" and I was crazy for it.

"Gimme that Fun Dip...Gotta have more of that Fun Dip!"

Check out our Fun Dip mouths. Mommy was NOT happy.

Doin' a little jig.

"That's right...I got the music in me!"

Then it was time to do laps around the living room table.

Let's read a little bit of Daddy's Bible.

It says here that Daddy's doing Revelation in Bible Study. Mommy told me a secret: she told Daddy to speed it up because she's already getting bored and he's not even finished the first chapter yet.

Stand as we sing...

...(I'm singing)...

I'm going on American Idol.

Do I sing as good as Daddy?

My choir leader Miss Becky says I'm a natural.

Think I can dribble this? It's as big as my head!

I dont know about all this...

"Is it dinner time yet, people?"

Oh yeah baby...let's roll.

For an appetizer Mommy gave me a Gerber Apple Wagon Wheel snack. I like to shove the entire wheel in my mouth and blow - sounds like my Pappaw Farley when he whistles with me.

"What do you mean I can't shove this whole thing in my mouth? Wanna bet?"

"C'mon Mommy...I can do it, I promise!"

Posing with Brother with my customary Luke-facial expression.

A little better smile...

Look Mommy, I can do Yoga - this is the "Down Dog" pose.

"Look Lacey - I can take out the trash...

and even bake..."

A quick action shot showing off my fabulous belly button that I'm just learning about...

For dinner this evening, Mommy fixed us kids a new concoction they found at the store - chicken nuggets filled with cheese.

It sounds gross, but it's actually quite tasty.

Oh look...what's this....a sock!

That's right...I'm cool.

"I want THIS one!"

"Ok - LOOK woman - you either feed me, or the socks are all OFF."

Giving Mommy my innocent face.

Cheese nuggets ROCK!

"I'm just warning you - the socks are about to come off!"

"Don't make me count to three!"

Did you guys know I can whistle even with a mouth full of cheese nuggets?

Uh-Oh - I just whistled out some nuggets out onto the floor. Don't tell Mommy.

My juice went up my nose.

"That's right ladies...I'm super cool."

Giving my sneaky look...I use this look on my Mammaw Farley to get my way.

One sock off...

Hey, what's outside for babies? Is that a bird?

It is...It is...It IS a bird!!!

"I'm not imagining it, Mommy - I saw it!"

Time for an after dinner snack. CRUNCHIES!

Everybody knows you have to put your toes on the table when you eat Crunchies.

After dinner it was time to play downstairs in the family room - which has now turned into "Luke's Playland" at the Saunders house.

You guessed it - I had to bring Mr. Tie down with me to swirl around. You can't neglect your old friends. Maybe Mr. Aspercreme would like to join us next time?

I'm totally digging this Alphabet Train that Mim and Poppy got me for my birthday.

I don't actually want to LEARN anything...I just like to play the music section.

I figured out if you turn the pages really fast it makes all kinds of random music sounds.

"What do you mean I need to learn my ABC's instead of dancing with Mr. Tie to the train music?"

Nah...I'd rather dance and make my screeching sounds.

...Trying to get up enough courage to actually SIT on the train...

Hey look...a Lego as big as Daddy's head!

For a special treat, Mommy made some homemade chocolate chip cookies! Well...I know the real story - they are those pull apart cookies...but yummy all the same.

Counting the number of chips to make sure I got more than Brother...

"Hey - these are pretty good, Mommy!"

Think I can shove this whole thing in my mouth?

"If you'll put that camera down for one second, I'll show you how to do the trick."

Now why can't we have these for dinner EVERY night?

I don't know WHY she keeps putting socks on me during feeding time. She knows whats just gonna happen.

Another funny face...

VICTORY!!!!

FREEDOM!

Then the meltdown happened...

This is my..."Get me outta this seat NOW woman" face.

After bathtime I read my storybooks.

...and did a little mowing around the house.

See me mowing the "grass" in my room.

Back to reading...

"This is my favorite storybook, Mommy."

Trying to find Mr. Tiger so I can do my tiger growl before bedtime.

Really concentrating...

I've hit the wall. It's time for bed.

Good-Night everyone.
