A Little Summer Fun

We took a little overnight trip to California and while we were there we wanted to visit the ocean. The weather was beautiful and the temperature was perfect. Luke loved the water even though it was freezing. I wish I could live on the beach. I would love to be able to go walking or jogging every morning on the beach. I just wish it wasn't so expensive to live in Cali.

This is what happens when you go to take a shower and leave dad in charge of watching the baby. We were at the hotel, Dave saw Luke with the bag of cheetos and realized he like the sound of the crinkle, he did not think it would go any further than Luke playing with the top of the bag.

After a few minutes, Dave looked back to see what Luke was doing and this is what he found! Luke was having a hay day and had crumbs all over his face and the bed, but what was worse was that the cheetos are the new ones with jalopeno, WHOOPS! He still loved them, no crying!

I felt so bad for the maid who had to find this lovely mess on the bed!


Family portrait

Luke loves bath time and for me it is easier to do it in the Kitchen sink, he just fits so well and it does not kill my back.

I have not posted Luke's 5 month photo because the poor guy has really bad eczema and he has very dry skin all over his body, so I was trying to wait until his skin looks a little better.

Luke is 4 months!

Luke is now four months and so dang cute!! He is now rolling completely over both ways and even does double rolls. He loves to sit up and stand up. He is giggling all the time and such a sweet baby. He loves to snuggle and give open mouth kisses. He loves all of his cousins and loves their attention. He no longer looks like a baby he looks like a little boy. We love our little man so much, I just can not get enough of him.

Luke's hair is really long and will not stay down or do anything but stand up, so today he had his first haircut by his aunt Ana (my sister). He did so good, he was talking the entire time and smiling. We took before, during, and after pictures.

Before

Luke has his foe hawk again. Doesn't he look so handsome?

Luk's first Easter

I made Luke his first Easter basket but the treats were more for mom and dad. His shorts and flip flops are too cute. He has just started to giggle and is starting to roll over from his back to his side. He is sucking on everything his hands, blankets, toys, and drooling like crazy.

Luke is 3 months old! Time is flying!

We just went to Luke's 3 month well visit with Dr. Conti. Luke weighs 13 lbs 8 oz and is 24 inches long. He is so cute, he is now smiling all the time. He giggles and coo's. He is just too much fun. I hate leaving him for work, but I cherish every moment that I have with him. He is now able to sit up in his bumbo. He still has all of his hair, no bald spot yet. He is constantly moving his head back and forth and rubbing, but his hair has stayed. It is now to long to stay up in a foe hawk, he is going to need his first haircut real soon.

Luke was holding his dad's ears, it was so funny, but every time I took a picture he would move his hands.

Luke on St. Patrick's Day, he had to wear some green!!

Had to take more pics in the bumbo, his faces are too funny! Check out his cowboy boot socks, a friend from church gave them to him at one of his baby showers, we LOVE them, they match all of his outfits!!

Luke at 2 months!

Luke is now 10 weeks so I am late with the post. The bottom picture was just before his baby blessing at church on march 1st, we waited so that some friends of our could bless their baby on the same day in our ward, they are from Arizona but their family is here. He did really good, no crying. I need to get some more professional pics done or get a better camera. He has started to sleep through the nights so that has been a blessing, but at night he is fussy (colichy) so I feel so bad for him. We are having so much fun with our little boy. I enjoy every second that I have with him, especially since I have had to go back to work. Luckily I have a great sister-in-law who watches him, so that makes me feel better. I know he is safe and loved. Her kids love to hold and feed him in the morning before school.

Luke at ONE month

Luke now weighs 11 lbs and is 22 inches long. Everyone can not believe the amount of hair he has. I try to give him a foe hawk, he is already going to need his first hair cut and he is only 8 weeks. Luke has been so much fun, I go back to work next Monday and am so sad to leave my son. All I can hope is that he will be sleeping through the night very soon or he will have one grouchy mom.

Newborn Photo's of Luke

We can not thank our friend Marsha enough for the beautiful newborn photos of Luke. We love them!! He is such a blessing. We had so much fun with the photo shoot. Being a mom is such a special blessing, the love you have for your child is beyond words. Thank you again Marsha for capturing these special moments of our son, I know they are only this little for a short time and every day is so special.

More Pics of Luke

Today Luke is 2 weeks old. He has already grown so much and his looks are changing. We are so blessed to have this bundle of joy in our lives. I am trying to get used to the mommy schedule of feedings every 2-3 hours and being up many times during the night. I am feeling much better since the delivery and am so happy to have our little boy at home. We love you sooooo much Luke!! I am so thankful for my husband and all his help!! Dave is so cute with our son, he is such an amazing father!!

Baby Luke's Stats!!

Baby Luke was born December 31, 2008 at 3:57 am. He weighed in at 6 lbs 13 oz and 19 inches long. Everyone thought he was going to be a lot larger, my doctor was very surprised and so were all the nurses. We are so excited he is finally here, also we just made it for a tax deduction, YES!!

Baby Luke is here!!!

A few quick pics to show the little tike, we are exhausted so we will post more in the future.

(The danger zone is blurred out ;) )

Look at that head full of hair!!


After 32 hours in labor, Megan could finally have something other than ice chips

Christmas Time!!!!

We made a small Gingerbread House... of course it included all the amenities... palm tree, bushes, walkway...

but naturally we couldn't leave out the most essentail part...... a pool with a slide

And of course the 2 ft tree.... by next year it should be three!!

Bed Rest!

NO BABY YET!! So almost two weeks ago my doctor pulled the plug on me being able to work, he placed me on bed rest due to early labor, contractions, and edema in my legs and feet! He put me on Tributaline a medication to stop my contractions, he wants me to wait until I am at least 37 weeks before having this baby,which I understand, we want his lungs to be fully developed. I go back to see my doctor on Monday, so I am hoping he will let me stop taking the medication this week since it will be my 37th week and maybe I will go into labor. I have another ultrasound on Monday also, so hopefully everything will be good. I am getting really bored being home all the time, I would rather spend it home with a new baby than by myself. I have taken a few strolls out because tv just gets to boring!!
