Happy Halloween, 2010 edition

Columbus Day was Invented to Spend at the Zoo, Right?

He loved the penguins. This video was taken after we had already spent a few minutes in the penguin exhibit and he was still this excited about it! (Translation Service: "Penguins!" [Some girl's high-pitched shriek.] [Luke's maniacal laugh.] "Swimming.")

I'm Getting Good Use Out of These Kid Clothes

FYI - Luke's growth is keeping pace with Jackson's, for his age. Each were 34 lbs and 36 in at their two year old check-ups. :)

Bikers

Note to self: Buy Luke a bicycle helmet, even though it's more than a wee bit dramatic to wear a helmet on a big wheel - especially when you're still trying to figure out how to pedal! I'm not really concerned about Luke hurting his big melon though; the helmet is necessary to avoid further jealous meltdowns. He was SO upset that Jackson had a helment and he didn't. JEALOUSY is rampant in these parts lately. Luckily, Jackson is so sweet and patient with Luke, that he finished his ride and gave Luke his helmet to wear for a while.
