Heddo?

The other day I called home because I was going to be working late. No one picked up, but a few minutes later I got a call from Nai's cell phone.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Heddo?" It was Luke. Nai must have handed him the phone. Luke is learning to talk; Nai has been trying to get Luke to talk to me on the phone whenever I call. When he's on the phone he says "Heddo?" a lot, since that's one of the only words he knows.

"Hi Luke."

"Dad dad." Luke also always thinks that I'm the one on the phone. He will say "Dad" and "Heddo?" no matter what.

After a few more minutes of saying "Heddo?" back and forth, I finally told him, "Okay, give the phone to Mommy now." Silence. "Hello?"

"Heddo?"

"Give the phone to Mommy."

I hear some rustling on the other end, and then Nai's sleepy, tired voice. "Luke? Who are you talking to on the phone?"

Nai was sleeping. Luke was the one who called me back, and he gave the phone to Nai afterward.

Yoshi's Island

Maybe we should have called him Baby Mario...

Tiger Face

For the past month or so, Luke has been making a strange face whenever he gets really excited. Nai calls it the "Tiger Face"... He squinches his nose and gets this really fierce smile, all the while breathing in and out really loud!

It's been really hard for us to capture any video or pictures while he's doing it, because it only lasts for a few seconds and then he's done. Here's a picture I managed to take on Thanksgiving, and while it's a little blurry and he was finishing up, you might be able to get the idea:

Stand in the Place Where You Live...

I'll let the picture speak for itself...

Tree Lights and Sparks

On the Friday before Thanksgiving, the family went out to the local mall (The Domain) where Macy's was having their second annual tree lighting festival! There was lots of music and there was also a special guest: Jordin Sparks, one of the winners from American Idol (Okay, I didn't care that much, but Nai did)!

It was a pretty chilly night and the music was a bit loud but Luke didn't seem to mind. Here are some pics from the night:






We were able to get pretty close to see Jordin Sparks. Nai was excited!


The tree is lit! Fireworks go off! Looks great!!!

Thanksgiving

Here are some pics of Luke's first Thanksgiving. Hope you all enjoy! He's doing really good (I'll have more posts soon to follow)!







Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving (the food was great, by the way)! :)

Allergies

A week ago or so Luke had a fever. It didn't last very long, but shortly after it left we started seeing a big red rash all over his skin.



We decided to call the doctor and Nai took him to get looked at. The doctor assured us he was fine and just had an allergic reaction to something. The problem is, we're not sure what it could possibly be, because he was eating the same foods we had been giving him for quite a while. It might have possibly been from some orange juice we let him sip one day, so we're avoiding giving him any more citrus stuff.

Anyway, after giving him a little bit of medicine the rash seems to have gone away. Luckily for him he didn't seem to be bothered by it.
