A Week of Firsts

Luke is one week and one day old today! Its hard to believe that we've only had him for one week, it feels as though he's been a part of our lives for much longer than that! This week has been a week of firsts for all of us.
I mentioned in the last post that Luke had his first doctor's appointment... he's a healthy little one. Already growing and doing so well. Like a crazy first-time mom I was taking pictures in the doctor's office. (the nurse assured me that I'm not the only one.) :)

In the Dr.'s waiting room, sleeping peacefully in the carseat.

Luke slept through his first church service on Sunday. He barely made a peep the entire time. Matt, Mom Thomson, and I had fun remembering last Sunday- me sitting in church MUCH more uncomfortable than this week.

Looking like a stud in his polo shirt - all dressed up for church.

Luke's umbilical cord stump fell off earlier so we were able to give him his first bath. He HATED it! Poor little thing screamed the entire time! He has the funniest little cry - almost sounding like a little bleating sheep. We were quick with the bath and soon he was his happy little self, snug in his towel.

First bath = a most unpleasant experience for Luke

This picture doesn't quite capture it, but Luke was quite content to be bundled up and held by Daddy after being tortured in the tub.


Today was Matt's first day back at school. Since Mom Thomson is still in town we thought it would be a good day to bring Luke to school to introduce him to all Matt's students. Luke was the most popular guy on campus! As soon as we strolled into the hallway he was swarmed by students. He did so good and tolerated all the curious, adoring faces pouring over him- not to mention the 90 degree heat!

(we are pretty sure Luke is just a California boy- he can take the heat no problem but HATES being cold.) :)

Matt's basketball team had a game at home today so Luke was able to take in his first basketball game too! (we only made it for the second half but that's good enough for now) Matt's team won so that was a lot of fun. Luke, again, was so good and slept through all the whistles and buzzers. One of the player's moms joked that Luke was probably used to those sounds already thanks to all the basketball games I sat through while I was pregnant with him.

And a few more pics... just for fun.

Resting a bit between our excursions

such as sweetie- I could sit like this all day.
