I like hats with ears!


Yesterday was Luke's 2 month birthday! So he was trying on hats to celebrate - this is his new favorite. This week Luke is learning how to sleep in his crib by himself with out the bassinet. He is such a big boy! Next step is unswaddling for sleeping. One thing at a time - baby steps :)

Luke Sings Mele Kaliki Maka



This is Lukes favorite Christmas carol. He kicks in the second half of the song - What a great voice!

First Christmas

Big thanks to Great Auntie Nancy hookin' up the uber cute Christmas duds!


Partyin' the afternoon away at Grandma Carol's house!

Elf in Training


Luke helped Suzie Claus bring presents to the UPS store today! Its surprisingly warm for December - about 40 degrees.

Lines and circles and swirls oh my!

Charles sent me some 'visual stimuli for infants'. Black and white patterns that you print out and hold up like flash cards for the baby - so we played with them today. Luke loves them! He likes the circle patterns the best - it was so cool because you could tell he really studies each one. It sure filled up the time in between his whopping 2 ten minute naps today.

Now that is solid gold...

Today I had Luke in his moby wrap on my chest and we were dancing to the solid gold oldies. Luke took my hand, and we danced together to Sittin' By the Dock of the Bay...he held it for the whole song. We had a rough night with very little sleep last night - but moments like this make all that melt away.

Big strides!

Luke suggested mommy go for a walk on the treadmill today since its too cold to go outside. So he got in his carrier and we went up to the workout room and he slept while mommy walked a mile!

Luke likes the solid gold oldies channel on the tv. All the hits from the late 50s and 60s. I've been playing it for him to go to sleep, so I turned it on in the workout room too - he sleeps like a baby when it comes on!

Who's one month old?

Luke is!

It's my one month birthday - watch out!

Luke had his 1 month checkup today. He's 9lbs 6oz now! As evident in his oh so cute chubby cheeks :)

After all the excitement of the day - Luke fell asleep in Grandma Cassandra's arms. Comfy cozy!

Then it was time for hugs with daddy.

Wuzzup world - I'm Luke Xavier.

Happy Thanksgiving

It's Luke's first thanksgiving! We made a small dinner here at the house - no turkey but a ham with pineapple brown sugar glaze, stuffing, yams, and greens! Yum!

Giraffes or Horses?


Luke noticed the giraffes on his pack and play this week. Actually we have had some long discussions about whether they are giraffes or horses, and what sound they would make if they were giraffes...

Watch out Jay Cutler


Future Quarterback! Bears win again!

A week in the life

Daddy went back to work this week - so it was hard for Mommy to take pictures! Not enough hands to hold Luke and the camera! So here are a few iphone pics

Sometimes I carry Luke in a moby wrap carrier around the house so i can hold him and still make breakfast :)

Luke doesn't mind taking baths - I think he finds it interesting - he doesn't cry...just looks confused...

Mommy wishes that Luke would sleep for more than 20 minutes at a time during the day...and for more than 3 hours at night...

Luke likes to make mommy and daddy's heart melt with his smiles. He likes to practice his smiles as he falls asleep sometimes. Grandma Carol says that is when the angels are talking to him :)
