"Ummm... No Ecks, Mommy. Bret!" Translation: Ummm... No eggs, Mommy. Bread! Except that it was pancakes, not bread and there were no more. Explaining that to a two-year-old doesn't work so well. He seemed pretty sure that I could just magically produce more pancakes for him and he wanted nothing at all to do with my offer of scrambled eggs instead. A minor meltdown ensued. On the plus side, this was his longest sentence yet!
Luke's not speaking in sentences yet. Give him a few more days. He's already got two words. Bye and Duck. And yes he does use them both in the appropriate contexts and yes he is barely 10 1/2 months old. He's learning to eat slightly pureed table food. He loves spaghetti and Spanish rice. He's not too thrilled about meatloaf and veggies.
I could use a few prayers. I got a knot in my back last week and it's gotten worse and worse. Saturday night and Sunday morning it was so bad that I could barely move. It's a little better today. It still hurts, but at least I can move without crying. Of course, with the slightest bit of improvement I went and overdid it. I did way more housework than I really should have today and it now hurts worse than it did this morning.

Updates
Sorry it's been so long since I posted last. These last few weeks have been quite busy for us.
On New Year's Day we headed up to Wisconsin for my brother's wedding. Well, we tried at least. We got about two and a half hours down the road and discovered that Teddy had been left behind. Brendan was distraught. We had no choice but to go back - we know from experience that getting a new Teddy won't work at all. The next morning we actually succeeded at leaving for Wisconsin and got there in the mid-afternoon. After a busy and crazy week, it was finally Saturday afternoon and we went to the church to take pictures before the wedding. Got Brendan dressed in his little tux, got Luke dressed in his little suit, turned to talk to Lydia and heard from behind me - thud, scream! Luke had fallen and hit his head on a rather sharp edge of a table leg and gotten a deep cut in his eyebrow. I nursed him right away and decided that we needed to take him in to get stitches. So, Michael, Luke and I went to St. Mary's, which is really close to CUW, and Luke got three stitches. He did really well and everyone in the ER loved him. We got back to CUW in time to see Stephan and Penny's vows.
Even stitches can't slow Luke down. We still spent a lot of time chasing that child around the hospital and the church.
Michael and I after the wedding, in of those few brief moments in which neither one of us has a child attached to us!
I'd post a picture of Stephan and Penny, but I can't seem to find any really nice ones right now.
After we got home, everyone got sick. Brendan had pink eye and a sinus infection, Michael had pneumonia and Luke and I had nasty colds. We're all recovering now, but it made for a rather yucky week.
Then this week, I started preschooling Brendan! It's been lots of fun.
Here's a picture of Brendan pointing out the letter A for me on his preschool poster.
And here's Brendan pointing out the number 1. We are also doing Bible stories, shapes, sign language and other stuff as well.
