2 Months Already!!

Luke is two months old today! Wow. Where has the time gone? It's crazy to think that we have had him in our lives for only two months. Sometimes it feels like he's been here for a lot longer than that, other times it feels like we just brought him home from the hospital. The other night I was thinking about the days before Luke's arrival... back when we could just get up and go anywhere we wanted, at any time - to the store, out to eat, etc. We could put in a movie and watch it beginning to end without being interrupted to feed Luke or try to get him back to sleep. My, my, how things have changed! And for the better, I might add.


Luke continues to get bigger and learn more everyday. It is so much fun to watch him as he discovers new things, such as his hands and fingers - his new favorite activity is bringing his hands together and trying to get both in his mouth at the same time. (see pictures below) He is also getting much better at taking naps - which thrills me to no end! He still wakes up from time to time, usually after about 3o minutes after going down, but once he gets his pacifier back into his mouth and has his noise/light machine thing-a-magig turned on he settles back into sleep for a bit longer. (by the way, the noise/light thing-a-magig = greatest invention ever! LOVE it!) The other day he took a 3 1/2 hour nap in the morning, woke up to eat, then immediately went back to sleep for another 1 1/2 hours! I think he's going through a growth spurt because he's also eating quite a bit! At the last appointment, his Dr. said that a 12lb. baby will drink about 3.5 oz. on average - Luke chugs down close to 6oz per feeding. Big boy! His two month well baby check up is next week. It will be fun to see how big he's gotten. We're speculating that he's pushing 14 or 15lbs.

Hands together, trying to fit them in his mouth.

Almost, but not quite.

So sleepy.

Yeah for longer naps!

Can't keep his eyes open long enough to burp!

In other news, Matt's last day of school was yesterday! He is SO glad to be done. Now all that's left is to finish the grades, clean up his classroom, and enjoy summer break! Although, this summer will be VERY different for him. Going from summers filled with sleeping in, sports center, and golfing to diaper changing, feedings and nap schedules will be quite the adjustment for him. Matt has confessed that he is a bit nervous about taking care of Luke all by himself when I go back to work. I have no doubt that he will do a fabulous job taking care of Luke all summer and I'm pretty sure he'll be able to still get his fill of sports center and golfing. :)

Luke's face after he was told Daddy would be the one taking care of him this summer!
Kidding. ;)


It's been chilly here lately (thanks to the June Gloom). I had to go buy some long sleeve onesies for Luke - the long sleeve white onesie is 6mos! It's a little on the big side but the 3 mos. size would be too short for him in no time. Hopefully we'll get a little more use out of the 6 mos. size.
Luke's eyes look brown in this picture - I assure you, they are very very blue at the moment, but there is still the possibility that they may change - we'll see.


No outfit is complete without Broncos socks! Thanks Treurs!

Tummy time is much more tolerable with Daddy.

The boys - all sprawled out - trying to strengthen those neck muscles.

P.S. This post took me about 2 1/2 hours to write thanks to Luke waking up and needing his pacifier back (twice), then needing to eat, spitting up, blowing out of one diaper which resulting in that outfit needing to soaked and sprayed with stain remover, being changed into a new outfit only to poop again! Sheesh, no wonder I feel like I get very little done during the day. :)
