One Month!

It's hard to believe that Luke is already one month old! Where does the time go? There have been times that we have felt that Luke has been around for a lot longer than just one month and then there are other times that we have felt like he was just born, amazed that an entire month has gone by. We are loving every minute with him... ok, not every minute. The minutes when Luke is crabby, fussy and simply will NOT go to sleep are not cherished. But we do treasure the times when he is happy and cuddly, which we are happy to say, are more frequent than the times when he is a crab.

Here is a quick video of Luke being a bit of a crank. Please don't judge us - we weren't trying to be bad parents by taking a video of Luke crying. It's just that he has this cute little cry that makes him sound like a sheep when he really gets worked up and I'm thinking that it's a 'newborn thing' that he'll eventually grow out of. Thus, I had to capture it on video before it's too late. Don't worry, we didn't let him cry too long. :)




Here's another video of Luke playing under his mobile toy thing-a-majig. He's quite a bit happier in this video. It's a bit long (for blog videos) but I decided to post it for the grandparents to enjoy. He was smiling and cooing (at least I like to think he was smiling and cooing... still not sure if it's legit or not) but he seemed to get camera shy.




We had enjoyed a very relaxing 1st Mother's Day. We went to church in the morning, enjoyed a nice lunch at Panera Bread (one of my favorites) and even bought some cinnamon crunch bagels for breakfast throughout the week (I'm seriously addicted to cinnamon crunch bagels). After lunch we went home and all three of us took a 2 hour nap! Ahhhh. Matt and I rented Fireproof from Blockbuster and planned to watch it after Luke went to bed for the night... unfortunately, Luke was not keen on our plan. He fussed and absolutely refused to go to sleep. He would start to fall asleep if Matt or I was holding him but the minute we laid him in his crib he was wide awake and I mean wide awake. Needless to say, we did not get to watch the movie. By the time Luke fell asleep for good we were more than ready to go to sleep ourselves. Oh well. We'll get around to the movie one of these days.

Here are a few more pictures that I my sister took while she was out visiting that are just too cute, I felt obligated to post them. :)

Look at that belly!

Luke was a bit tired so we didn't get any good smiles - oh well.

This has to be my favorite! THAT's a good smile!
