Lukey Walking

Lukey has walked before today but I have to say that today was the day when he really got going and did it a few times rather than the one off occasion we had before today. He was so proud of himself grinning and giving cuddles. He knew we were really pleased with him so he kept doing it. There will be no stopping him now. It took Isabella a full month before she was really walking properly at 16 months, I wonder if Lukey will be a little quicker.

Today was also the first day that I was really sure that Lukey was really calling out to us and was doing it on purpose.... "darrrhhhdeeeee...... muummmeeeeee". Knowing who it was that he was calling out for.

Finally, I have to mention "Quacker" before I forget. We have a little yellow bath duck that Lukey has become rather attached to and he calls it "Quaker". If he sees it he gets very excited and says "quacker quacker". It is incredibly cute.

Where has the time gone?

I can't believe how much time has passed since I last posted on this blog. When I look back Bella was so little when I stopped. I suppose I got busy being a Mum and didn't have the time anymore.

Things sure have changed since then though. Bella now has a little brother Lucas, more commonly referred to as Lukey and the second time around things have been relatively easy. Well at least after the pregnancy that it. I spent most of the pregnancy in bed due to severe morning sickness which didn't just last all morning but all nine months. But in the end we ended up with a very happy, content and funny little boy.

He is already one year old and is eating well, talking well (about 15 words) and has taken his first steps (although he isn't that keen on walking yet). Bella is a fantastic sister and she loves him dearly.

As for our Bella, she is now three and one clever little monkey.



I'm constantly laughing at what she says and does. This year is a big one for her as she starts three year old kinder, continues with swimming lessons and maybe goes into child care with Lukey one day a week as I possibly return to work. I can't wait to see her grow and change over the next few years.
