Baking with a 2 year old

Luke was really wanting to help mommy bake brownies tonight- he likes to help stir and pour the ingredients into the batter- but as I discovered as I was putting the brownies in the oven his favorite part is licking the mixing spoon!

Cloth Diapers

So we have been using cloth diapers for a week and a 1/2 now and love them! These are not the cloth diapers your parents used either! No safety pins here! They have snaps that hold them closed and the plastic covers are replaced by a nylon water proof outer layer that is built into the diaper. Even poopies are easy with these and of course being a boy Luke loves flushing his poops! They are so easy to use and easy to clean. The load of laundry takes only 2 minutes to sort once they have been washed and dried. We ordered 2 more on Friday night so I will be able to go a little longer between washings. They are kinda pricey, but I figure after I use them on Luke and this next baby for about 2 months they will have paid for themselves.

Halloween

Happy Halloween! Luke was a tiger for Halloween and loved every minute of it! He was introduced to candy for the 1st time in his life and obviously loved it! We had a great time this week and went to a bunch of different parties and outings including Aunt Jamie's 21st Birthday Dinner! Happy Birthday Jamie!

Play Dough Fun

Luke and his friend Kindrid played with play dough yesterday morning. They had a lot of fun and made some really neat masterpieces. Click the link below for the rest of the pictures. http://picasaweb.google.com/jessica.dobra/PlayDoughFun

Zoo

Luke and I went to the zoo today with his Aunts and cousins. We had a blast and Luke love the tigers and monkey's! He kept singing "No More Monkey's Jumping on the Bed" to them, so that was pretty cute! He also loved to walk around holding hands with his big cousin Alex. When we got home he ran up to the dog and started saying tiger and monkey, so I think he was trying to tell Sarge about his big adventure! Too cute!!!

Something to think about....con't

Here is the link I should have included about one of the home birth stories I read:

Something to think about....

So, now that we are progressing right along in our pregnancy I am starting to hear alot more about mid-wives and home births. I have personally never had a bad hospital birthing experience (although Luke was here in about 2 pushes). But the women I have been reading about have had hours of hard labor and pushing and very stressful birthing experiences. As I have been reading about the home birth though it is becoming more and more intriguing to me. The stories I have heard are all of peaceful births and stress free situations, being able to sleep in your own bed, rather than an uncomfortable hospital bed for 2 days afterwards doesn't sound half bad either. Not something I am considering for this one, but possibly something I would consider for the next baby. What are you thoughts on this assuming you have a healthy pregnancy and there are no signs that the baby could be in trouble....

Finger Painting

Luke finger painting in the kitchen this afternoon. What a great activity for a HOT summer afternoon! Luke had a blast and of course was covered from head to toe in paint afterwards! He ended up in the bath for the 2nd time today!

But he loved it and made some lovely art work for us to display on the fridge and to send to the Grandparents!

Peanut Emergency!

Well, we now know that Luke has a peanut allergy.

The good news is that it isn't the ultra sensitive kind. He is able to handle the shells and nuts without a problem. Praise God.

But, he broke out extremely bad and vomited and was coughing, the sign of a swelling throat (Anaphylaxis). Thankfully his symptoms lessened before any aid was required. He only ate one tiny peanut!

So, here are some links for our friends and family to a video on how to use the "EpiPen" (Epinephrine Auto-Injectors) if Luke ever shows these signs.

Excessive Hives
Vomiting
and Coughing or Choking

- Low Speed How-To Video
- High Speed How-To Video

Let's pray we never need to use it! Mick

Big Brother (soon to be!)

Well, you may have noticed the lack of posts since the announcement of Luke's new role as a future big brother, so Jessica has asked me to post an update.

Shortly after the announcement, at the next couple of sonograms we knew there was a problem. We never got a heartbeat. So, our children (as in possibly twins) never made it and instead are filling heaven with the joy that only children can bring!

Now. . . I was suprised to find out monday night when I came home from work that we are once again expecting! Praise God! We would love your prayers for a healthy Mom and healthy baby(ies)!

Thank you. Mick
