we're still here :)

Wow how time flies!  Just thought I would check in with a quick little update on the little man :)  I wish I had a lot of new pics to post, but pictures are few and far between...Luke is non-stop and way to busy for photoshoots!  I swear each stage gets more fun!  It is so fun to watch him explore new things each day!  He loves to run and throw the ball and I think right now his favorite thing is to play with everything that is not a toy...lol.  I was trying to figure out what his favorite toy is, but he has bigger fish to fry than to play with "his" stuff.  Luke enjoys pushing buttons on the dryer, trying to open the dishwasher and he still loves to play with the remotes. (but they have to be the "real" remotes; ones without batteries don't do the trick...haha) 

Luke is great at waving, giving high five, and now the fist bump :)  We are also working on pointing at our nose, ears, eyes, mouth, and of course the favorite, our belly button!  (of course the shirt has to come up to show his belly button...which is even better!)  It is so awesome to see Luke learning things and how proud he is about it!  He is definitely not digging the stroller...he would rather walk/run!  We have been keeping busy with going to the park and watching the Fishers Tigers football games!  It is so cute to see Luke point to the field and say "dada".  He says it a million times a game and it never gets old ;) 

Really no big news in the Stevenson household...just a lot of mom and Luke time while dad is at football...we definitely miss adam being around, but know football will be over before we know it!  (and who could complain about all the extra hugs and kisses...and now pats on the back :)

Here are the only pics I have really taken lately...


we went to stoney creek farm for the "family fun on the farm" Luke definitely had a good time!

and it starts...

Today is the day...football season is back in full swing in the Stevenson household!  (I'm not sure that it really ever ended...haha)  Adam started two-a-days this morning!  I cannot believe the summer is coming to an end already...and I know Adam can't believe it either!  It has been so wonderful to have Adam around so much this summer!  I will say it is the best feeling ever to know Lukey was home with his dada!!  I know Luke enjoyed being with Adam as much as Adam enjoyed being with Luke!  :)  Adam said it best this morning though..."we are just one day closer to next summer ;)"

We definitely had a fun summer and Luke's just getting more and more fun!  Everyday is an adventure that's for sure!!!  Maybe I should just throw out there how much I LOVE my little man! ;)

He is definitely trying to say words a lot more!  His newest word is HOT or as Luke says "ha"  He loves to watch the grill but we always have to tell him it is hot...well now everything is "ha"...lol~gotta love it!  He also said "nana" for banana the other morning...of course we were so proud :)  A few others are  bat, bay bay (baylee), ball, boon (balloon), dada, and mommy.  These are the ones we here the most!

He is also understanding how to pick up toys...we do try and have him pick stuff up when he is finished playing...for now he like's to put things back, but I am sure this will change!

We took a weekend trip to cinci with Adam's family two weekends ago...we hit up coney island and the children's museum!  We had a great time and Luke loved being with his cousins ;)  I didn't have my camera at coney island, but Luke loved the pool and was even able to go on a few rides!  I can't believe my "baby" could go on rides!

Here are a few from the children's museum...


 i loved this little smock Luke wore...too cute!

 We had a playdate today with Mason and Owen...seriously Luke seems like a giant compared to them!  Fun times!

 so cute!
the only way I could get Luke to sit still is to give him my phone...but then I couldn't get him to look up!
