Our baby is 1!

Wow - when people say that your babies grow up too fast, they weren't kidding! Luke turned 1 on July 1. We're doing a lot of practice eating cake and ice cream and blowing out candles - that's the fun stuff. Grammy and Pappy Costic brought him balloons which he just loved. Uncle Mike, Aunt Denise and kids brought him his first sand box taht is currently empty because he's having so much fun just crawling in and out of it empty. You've got to love that the simple things are what kids love the most.

The past three months have been pretty busy, so I apologize for the infrequent updates. Dave finished up school in May and since then, it's been non-stop activities. We've had Dave's birthday, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Amy's birthday (which was my first girls night out in too long, lots of fun!) and we just got back from a week long trip to Myrtle beach. Luke loved the beach - the sand, waves and water were so much fun for him. He loves to be in the water so that will work out well when we go to swim lessons in the fall. Our latest pics are posted: http://bulebosh.shutterfly.com/

We've also started to consider moving since we are easily outgrowing our house already. The thought of moving is scary to me right now, but hopefully we'll find what we're looking for.

Work has been busy for me and Dave has been at the school for conditioning and he only has a few weeks before August gets here and it's full time football during the day and Daddy and Luke's first special summer adventure will be over. (I get jealous that they get to hang out and play during the day because I know they are having so much fun together.)

We'll be having a party to Luke, so I promise to get pics up after that. Can't wait to see him dig into the cake.

9 months & walking

Luke is on his feet and on the move....he practiced all day Sunday starting with shuffling about 2-3 steps and then he just took off across Grammy and Pappy's family room. It's so exciting but so shocking...not sure Dave and I are ready for it but there's no turning back now! Luke has been so much fun and so pleasant the past month and just changing so fast. We hosted Easter at our place which went really well. We had both sides of the family there and even had my aunts and cousins come too (my cousin Natalie from New Orleans finally got to meet Luke for the 1st time!)

Movin' Along - Month 8 update

It's official - Luke is mobile and vocal. He's crawling around everywhere as of this weekend, pulling himself up and you can tell he is just itching to be walking on his own. And the jibberish he's been talking is just hilarious. He looks at you and just wants to talk so he does - you just have no idea what he's saying. It's great! We took him to dinner at TGI Fridays last night and he smiled at all of the waitresses and was really good. He likes being out and about and charming the ladies.

My friend Christian that I work with shared a new site with me: www.lillj.com. This is his wife Loree's creative and I just love it! I know you guys will really enjoy it since because it's just a great, unique idea. I know I love buying gifts that are personal and unique, so check it out!

I'll be posting some new pics this weekend since my girlfriends are coming over with some of the kids so it should be good, lol!

Month 7 Update

It's amazing how fast time these first 7 months have gone. Luke is already enjoying Cheerios and drinking out of his sippy cup...watch:




We took Luke to get his 6 month portrait (his 1st professional pictures) and he screamed his head off! After we calmed him down, we did some cute shots. The crying one is pretty comical :)






















































Things are going well with Dave and I too Wrestling is done - yea! My new job at Smith Brothers Agency is going really well. We even managed to get away for an evening and left Luke for his 2nd sleepover at Uncle Jamie and Aunt Andreas. He was really good! Dave and I just went into Pittsburgh for dinner and drinks and stayed over night.

We also found out that our friends who live in FL near Miami are expecting twins this summer...so exciting! Congrats Bryan and Cristina! (They called from the plane on their way to Mardi Gras with the good news.) I also found out a friend from high school, Lisa (Pfeifer) Sweeney is expecting a little girl in April...such good news!

I added a link to another blog on the right...the Venzon Foursome. My friend Amy passed it along...her friend Kelly has friends (Lisa and Tony) who are expecting quadruplets! The pics and the story are amazing. At 24 weeks, Lisa is the size of a full term 40 week pregnany woman. God bless you Lisa! I don't know Lisa and Tony but we wish them all the best.


I'm headed to see the Lion King at the Benedum today - should be a great show. Signing off for now...

6 Month Update

I've really been slacking on the blog updates, but here's the latest on the Bulebosh's - especially Luke :)

We just got home from our 6 month checkup with Dr. Indorato. Mr. Luke weighs in at 18 lbs on the nose (60th percentile) and is 27.5" long (88th percentile). He got 4 shots and was not a happy camper during that but did pretty well considering. His next check up isn't until spring for the 9 month milestone! Even more exciting, he gets to start to eat starches (bring on the Cheerios) and meats! I think that visit this morning wore him out so he's sleeping. Here are some pics of him enjoying his Sing and Play stage...funny part is, he wants to stand in front of it instead of sit. You'll also notice his first piece of Pitt gear - his hat from Miss and Boomer. He's too cute in it!

Dave and I have been keeping busy. I've decided to change jobs. Yesterday was my last day at Ripple Effects and I'll be going to Smith Brothers Interactive to be their Online Marketing Director starting on Tuesday. I've very excited to be joining a group of former co-workers. It's funny how you realize what a connection you have with co-workers once they are all gone and it's very rare that you get to work with all of them again. I'm really looking forward to it :) I'll be working 4 days a week: Off on Mondays, in the office probably 3 days and working from home on Fridays. That will be so nice in the summer's when Dave is off - bring on the quality family time!

Dave is in the busiest part of wrestling season. He's got a few weekend tournaments and lots of matches during the week. But his Jr. High squad is doing pretty well! They just came back from a 32 point deficit to beat Kiski last night. Dave also just got his first student teacher. His student teacher is a bit older, has a family and working night shift. He must be really dedicated to be working such a crazy schedule! I'm sure Dave will enjoy have a student teacher.

We're looking forward to planning a vacation to the beach at the end of June - probably to Myrtle Beach. We'll keep everyone posted to see who else wants to go!

Hopefully I'll post sooner than Luke's 9 month checkup - but I make no promises!

Christmas 2007

Wow , did we have a really fun Christmas this year! It being Luke's 1st Christmas and all, we've got plenty of pictures to share. Take a look: http://bulebosh.shutterfly.com/!

Luke got all kinds of fun toys, new clothes and lots of love!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone!
Love,
The Bulebosh's

How Loud Can I Get

If you all need a good laugh, I just got done laughing so hard because Luke is starting to realize how loud he can get. He's just laughing and making all kinds of noises. It made my day :) We're going to have lots of fun this Christmas!
