6 months!
In other VERY exciting news - Luke actually went to the bathroom in the toilet for the very first time today!!!!!!! I screamed and jumped so much that I think I scared him and he may never do it again!!! I was so proud of him though because he told me all on his own that he needed to go (I thought he just wanted to play with the toilet paper like usual), but to my complete shock, he actually went! Yea, there is hope in sight for only having 1 child in diapers sooon!!!!

Spring Break
My aunt and uncle live in San Antonio, so my Aunt Mary was nice enough to hang out with us while Vic was working. We took the kids to a really huge inflatables place....he loved sliding down the big slide! And it was a big help to have someone hold Abby while I chased Luke!
Fortunately, we had further reinforcements later in the week, my parents came and stayed in the same hotel as us for the second half of our trip. Notice Luke's gun in the picture....being the fantastic parents that Vic and I are, we took one look at the line of people to walk through the Alamo and decided that a trip through the gift store and buying Luke an age inappropriate toy (the gun said it was for children over 5), was just as good. We decided that we don't remember enough about Texas history to try to explain the Alamo to Luke anyways, so we will leave this to his 7th grade history teacher. If this doesn't win us "parents of the year" award, I don't know what will.
Since San Antonio was completely packed over spring break, and you could hardly get near the river, and we couldn't even get off the freeway to get close to the zoo, we tried the children's museum and it was awesome! It was perfect for Luke's age, and he enjoyed everything from playing in an airplane, to riding in a frontloader simulator that moved rocks, to a bubbles/water exhibit and of course the grocery store.
We also enjoyed lots of yummy food, you know how Luke loves Mexican food!!
And Abby celebrated her 6 month birthday!! She did great the whole trip, she seemed to enjoy all the action and was happy wherever we took her. We go to the doctor next week for her check-up, so I'll post more about her then.

Oil Ranch
For some reason, the animals in the petting zoo all ran away from Luke every time he got close - maybe they remembered him from last year?
This animal was very interested in Abby and actually tried to eat things hanging off her diaper bag - I had to get Abby out of there before he tried to eat her!
I think the highlight of Luke's day was running around a huge barn of hay, and jumping off of it! Here was a mid-air shot :-)
Nothing ends a fun day outside better than a snow cone!
And in other news - Abby all of the sudden started sitting up on her own today! We were playing in her room tonight and she was holding onto the dinosaur and sitting by herself, but then was able to let go and still sit for awhile. I can't believe she is getting so big!!

Rodeo
Oh yea, he liked the tractors too, but he didn't want to stand in line to climb into them, so he just tried climbing up the other side, that's my patient boy!
When we got home from the rodeo, Luke found his sunglasses in the car, and now he won't take them off. And he only wears them upside down, I don't have an explanation for this.
