Luke's 1st Vacation

Well we took our 1st family vacation and had a wonderful time. Coe was already down in California for club regionals and he surprised me with a trip to come and see my sister and then meet up with him for a mini vacation. Luke did great on his first flight and slept most of the time. I was a little nervous about traveling alone for the first time with a baby but it went very smoothly. We spent time with my sister, managed to go to six flags just Coe and I and it was a blast. The trip ended with a fun filled Father's day for Coe with just our little family and it was so special. I am sure Coe will treasure it for the rest of his life. We flew home on Monday and I almost forgot that Luke now has a new tooth too!!!

7 Months Tomorrow

I am getting soooo big....I can roll...I'm eating food.....and I can even touch my toes...oh and I love hanging out with my grandpas and grandmas too!!!!

Grandpa Steve with Luke and Brock

Well Luke turned 3 months last week, this is how bad I am at updating this. Luke got to see a lot of relatives this weekend including spending time with Coe's parents and even got to spend time with his cousin Brock who is soo cute. Luke continues to do well with his tummy time and he is holding his head up for longer periods of time. I have been pretty tired with my new work schedule but am getting used to it, plus I have been working out again which has felt great. Coe has been taking care of Luke in the mornings and brings him to me at work between 10 and 11, so he typically only has to be in the child care for 3 hours at the most which has been really nice. I am so glad Coe get's some time with him since he has been sooo busy with soccer, I really appreciate all his help as he is very tired from late nights working the indoor facility. We had a nice Valentine night at home and it was nice for Coe and I to spend some much needed time together. Luke continues to be such a joy in our lives. He has really starting smiling and talking more and more.

Back To Work

Well today is my last Friday at home. The whole time has just flown by. I head back to work on Monday. Luke is growing a ton and has really starting to smile and hold his head up, he also does that little strech after each nap. So here is a quick picture update on our little man. Coe continues to be swamped with soccer. I just finished cleaning the house and thought I still have a little time before Luke wakes up from his late afternoon nap. Our good friends just had their little boy Liam on Thursday, he will be Luke's buddy.

Luke's First Christmas

We had a great Christmas with our family and Luke, who is now 6 weeks old. We spent Christmas Eve out with my parents and my sister Joy and her family and then Christmas day with the Michaelsons, both of which we really enjoyed. Luke continues to do well and is growing so quickly. He seems to have moved so quickly through the process from premie to newborn and now finally 0-3month sizes. The weeks have conintued to fly by as I have taken awhile to update this again. We are looking forward to spending more time with family and friends over the next week. As I write this it has begun to snow again. I went shopping yesterday and Coe watched Luke and it was great to get out for a bit with Coe's mom and sister.

3 Weeks Old

Well the time has flown by so far. Luke is getting on a good schedule and things continue to go smoothly. He had his first bath on Thanksgiving and did pretty well until I pored water over his head, then he belted a cry. I loved his hair after his bath as I put a hat on him and forgot to comb it. The picture is the end result. I am enjoying being home with him as we both continue to get adjusted. Ruby and I have been taking walks almost daily as the weather permits. She continues to do well with Luke. My sister Joy was here over Thanksgiving and we got some pictures of the new cousins together as Brock is just 11 days older then Luke. It will be fun seeing them grow over the years. Today Luke has a check up and it will be interesting to see how much he weighs. He has finally grown out of his preemie clothes and into the new born ones.
