A sailing we will go

The other day while feeding Luke, I made up this nursery rhyme. I also included the notes so you can hear the tune.

All aboard the ship my crew,
all aboard mateys.
Ahoy, Luke! Ahoy, Luke!
A sailing we will go.
A sailing we will go.

Stash the cargo in the hold,
stow your trunk below.
Ahoy, Luke! Ahoy, Luke!
A sailing we will go.
A sailing we will go.

A compass and a treasure map,
a parrot and a patch.
Ahoy, Luke! Ahoy, Luke!
A sailing we will go.
A sailing we will go.

Around and round the sea we sail,
around the world we go.
Ahoy, Luke! Ahoy, Luke!
A sailing we will go.
A sailing we will go.

The notes piano style
f f f g a c c
f f f g a
c c a c c a
bflat a a g g f
bflat a a g g f


You could also put your own child's name in

the third line would be (c c a f c c a f) for a 2 syllable name,
(ccaaf) for a 3 syllable name, or (ccaaaf) for a four syllable name.

8 Months!

Luke is now 15 lbs 13 oz.


These are Luke's 8 month pictures. He's wearing an outfit sent by Greg's mom.





It's funny to me how different Luke looks in the three pictures.


Luke is now doing the army crawl. Don't take that to mean that he's slow. Because he can get to all the cords very quickly.

In other news, Bonnie ran over my foot at Best Buy. She was starting my car (to turn on the air) and it rolled a little bit (Stick shift). I was buckling Luke in his car seat. The car stopped on my toes. Bonnie and I were both freaking out and she couldn't restart the car. I finally wrenched my foot from under the tire because it wasn't that far under. She then was able to calm down and start the car and drive us home. It was brief but traumatic. I just got bruises. The end.

Happy Easter

Luke is now army crawling around the house. On this day, he was forced to wear a bunny hat while doing that.

He like to chase the eggs.




We decorated eggs, transformer style. We hope that everyone had a great Easter.


We hope that everyone had a great Easter.

Rodeo Houston and Luke at 7 months

For my birthday Greg took the day off and we went to the Houston rodeo. We drove downtown and got just enough cowboy to call it good. We figured that we should get to a rodeo at least once while we're down here.
Deep Fried Snickers

Luke is sporting a bandanna bib that I got from my baby shower in Texas, of course.





Baby Luke and Luke the calf


I'm so big!


I'm getting my 2nd tooth now, so that's why I'm drooling so much.

This is picture proves that I can sit up all by myself.

Spring Break

My mom, brother, two sisters, niece and nephew came to visit. Luke's cousins wanted to hold him as soon as they got there.


America did as well, because she's never met Luke before.



We played lots of games.


Merilee and Mom took the kidlets to the beach. Luke was napping. The others were gaming it up.





We went to Teddy Bear park to have some fun.


Luke looking so cool, just like his daddy.



More games.


Making messes.


Julia wanted to push Luke around in this stroller.

Merilee and I are known for the shut eye photos. Figures that the only person with their eyes open was the baby.

Thanks for coming to visit. We had a lot of fun!

6 Months!

I haven't written in a month but recently Luke has hit the 6 month mark. He can sit up by himself for short periods of time. And now is 13 1/2 lbs. ( I know he's a skinny bean pole.) And a day after his 6 month birthday I felt something sharp when I let him gnaw my finger. The tooth has broken through. Notice the excessive drool.






I made this purse for my cute niece for her new brother's arrival. So she wouldn't get jealous that he was getting all the presents.

And made this play mat for my newest nephew, Austin. Welcome, little guy.
