3 Months

We've made it to 3 Months!  Luke is definitely getting easier.  He is sleeping for longer stretches, is awake for longer stretches, and is overall more fun.  He is a very social baby.  He loves faces and just melts my heart with his smile.  This month he discovered his hands.  He can swat at hanging toys, grasp a toy placed in his hands, and is bringing his hands to his mouth.  We even got his first little giggle.  I'm hoping this month will bring his first big belly laugh.  Here are some pics from out adventures this past month.

Our Favorite Game...Super Luke!

2 Months Old

I can't believe another month has flown by.  My little man is now 2 months old!  We are starting to find our groove but we still have many rough days and nights.  Luke does best when we get out of the house early in the morning to run errands.  If he can get a long morning nap usually the rest of our day is easier.  Luke has had many firsts this month...first trip to Disneyland, first time in the BJorn, first shots (booo), and first time to Chuck E Cheese.  He is growing so fast I can't even believe it.

Two Month Stats:

11 pounds and 22.5 inches

We are no longer in our Newborn clothes :(

Here are some shots from our newborn photo shoot with cousin Jessica.  I can't believe she got any good pics because Luke was just not having it that day.

The First Month

Well...we made it through the first month...barely.  Mommy and Daddy are very sleep deprived as our lil one does not like to sleep at night.  He is a little snuggler and only wants to sleep on a warm body.  We are currently working on breaking this habit.  The first month was definitely not easy.  If its not one thing its another for our little Luke.  We first suffered tummy problems that made us very upset.  Our next obstacle was nasal congestion and coughing  that sent us to the Doctor's office for a check up.  We are now pros with the saline spray and nasal aspirator.  We are still getting over the cough but now we have a horrible case of baby acne/eczema.  Luke has been a trooper through this all.  He even gave us his first purposeful smile at 4 weeks.  It makes all the sleepless nights worth it!

Here are some of our highlights over the last month.
