We took the boys to the Alligator Farm while we were in Florida (I know, this was like a month ago, I’m behind, it’s okay).

We took a lot of pictures. Dave, Kurt, and I all had cameras out and ready.

Despite our camera preparedness, that is the best picture we have of the two boys together.

We got enough cute solo shots to make up for it though.

Luke was happy to have his own chauffeur, thanks Grandma!

 

Sadly, I think Adam was more excited about the playground than the alligators.

We had a tough time prying him away.

We had a great spot for the alligator feeding demonstration.

The Duke was more interested in the Luke feeding demonstration.

I may have tried to get a picture of Luke inside that gator’s mouth. Luke was not pleased.

Adam liked pointing out the different birds we saw on their corresponding signs.

He also liked feeding the birds with Grandpa.

Luke really got in to crawling all over that alligator right before we left.

Thankfully, he is pretty good about letting us take pictures – minus that time I asked Dave to stick him in the alligator’s mouth. He also prefers we let him keep that damn pacifier (man, I really don’t like that thing).

Can I just tell you that his doctor told us at his last checkup that we should switch to a different style pacifier. He doesn’t want us to take it away from him (yet), just to get him to use a different style (one geared toward older babies with teeth).

Yeah, good luck with that doc. We’ve being trying since we brought him home from the hospital. That stupid thing is the only type of pacifier approved by Luke. I even got a couple different ones made by the same company and he acts like we are giving him rotten peas (which I can only imagine would be much worse than regular peas – I really, really don’t like peas) and spits them out immediately.

The pediatrician insists that when forced to choose between no pacifier at all or a different style that Luke will go for a new pacifier. He underestimates just how stubborn (and loud) my children can be.

So for now, Luke is keeping that stupid plug.
