What a Happy Boy!

Luke enjoyed some play time today on his activity mat. So much in fact that afterward he had a nice lukewarm bottle and went down for a nap. I'm not sure what he's bracing himself for in the picture of him sleeping, but it was kind of funny!

Luke also went in for his 3rd weight check today and he passed with flying colors. He actually gained 9 ounces in a week so he is up to 8lbs, 11oz. I've been calling him "little piggy" because he eats nearly every hour and a half. He has given Mom and Dad the occasional 4 hour sleep stretch, but unfortunately it's still pretty inconsistent and therefore only feels like a tease!

Oh, and unfortunately you can't capture this with a picture...but Blake is now counting to 10 all by himself! Pretty soon he will be smarter than us!

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow...

We wanted to take a picture of Luke's brown hair before it all falls out and he goes through a weird re-growth phase like Blake did. I have a hunch that he will end up being a little blondie like his big brother.

Double Fist'n...

Means something a little different when you are in your 30's with 2 kids! Hard to believe Blake was even smaller than Luke just 2 short years ago. Look at those bird legs!

Out for a stroll...

Mommy and Luke went on their first of many, many, many walks today. It was so pretty outside and we both needed some fresh air! Luke was alert the whole time and didn't make a peep! We put a lot of miles on this stroller with Blake and I'm sure we'll do the same with Luke!

Pirates and Princessess

Blake went to his first birthday party this past weekend. His gal pal Chloe turned 2 and hosted an awesome "Pirates and Princesses" birthday party! The party was complete with pirate hats, swords (foam) and a treasure hunt!

Blake and Chloe had a blast sharing rides on her new caterpillar toy and playing with her mini washer. If only the pictures could reveal the hysterical squeals these two were making!

The highlight of the party came at the end when we were preparing to leave. Chloe was saying goodbye to another friend and was asked to kiss the baby. Right as someone was saying "kiss", Blake came running around the corner and bent down and planted a kiss right on Chloe's cheek! It couldn't have been scripted any better! We were all laughing so hard that Blake got a little embarassed.

Mommy, Daddy and Luke had a good time too!

Happy 1 Week Birthday Luke!

We've officially made it through your first week! It's hard to believe a full week has already passed. It seems like we were just in the hospital watching the hours pass by wondering when you were going to make your grand entrance. Happy Birthday Little Luke!!

New Shoes

These were just too cute! As is everything that is about 1/100th of it's normal size!
