Doctor Visit

We took Luke for a wellness checkup today. They said his weight is not consistent, he's not gaining as much as he should. So we begin the quest, which I'm sure is very familiar to Bethany and Paul, of trying to fatten up our baby. Does this guy look under par to you?

You saw it here first folks!!!

Luke took his first real steps on Sunday September 23 at around 5:18 pm and 12 seconds. At first he was standing, leaning up against the couch. Heather and I were throwing a tennis ball and he would crawl over to it and throw it back to us. One time though, he was leaning against the couch and looked at the ball and then took 3 steps toward it. It was awsome. He did it 3 more times, and then I figured....Hey, this is probably blogworthy! This video was taken shortly after. Drink it in.

A serious addiction.....A graveyard smash

I (Austin) have just come home from studying to discover Heather's SERIOUS addiction the song..."The Monster Mash" WOW!!!!!! She bought it last week, and has not relented in listening to it since. I think that it has been playing on repeat now for the whole time that Ive been studying (3 hours). She also wants to take the CD in the car with us whenever we go anywhere. SOMEONE HELP!!! Ithink that when I come home from studying and hear that song, it actually makes me dumber.
Austin~~~~~~~~~

Luke enjoying a fig newton

Luke has recently been quite fussy - especially Thursday night when we slept at mom and dad's. Yesterday we found out why - he's getting his two top teeth in and I'm sure it's painful. Now he has 5 teeth, what a monster!

Infamous Dallas School Book Depository

Justin and Kelsey were such awesome hosts when we went to their place. Kelsey made great food and we had so much fun! We even got to see Justin's office though he was embarrassed of us. Who could blame him though, we had been walking around Dallas for 7 hours. We got to see the 6th Floor Museum (red building) where Lee Harvey Oswald shot JFK 3 times. We also got to see the Dallas Aquarium - very expensive but so worth it. They had so many exotic rainforest animals, and fish, etc. Then we went in the Reunion Tower - 50 stories up. It was neat and we got some good pictures. You can see Justin's building in some of them. His building has the arch with glass windows in the middle. Not a very good description I'm afraid. The last thing we did was see this huge exhibit of bronze long horned cattle. It was wild. We all went for a ride on them. Anyway, it was awesome! Thanks Justin, Kelsey, Eden and Jude!

Cousin Power
