So Many Pictures, So Little Time

We have so many pictures of Luke, I wish I had time to post more often. Here are some of my favorites from the last couple of weeks.

Taking one last bottle from Grandma Siorek the morning
she had to fly back to St. Louis. Look how long he is!

Cozying up to Aunt Tara


Looking tough in his Detroit shirt

Looking roly poly in his linen jumper

Trying out the neighbor's Bumbo chair

Stretching those little legs and practicing how to stand.
Look how he digs his toes into the carpet. He really is standing.

Three Months Old

Luke is three months old! Below are some of the great pictures that Luke's Grandma, Sara, took this week while she stayed with us.

Home at Last

Luke had a very fun and active time visiting his family in the Midwest. But it's good to be back home. Today is the beginning of my last week at home with Luke before I have to go back to work. I'm going to savor every minute of it, even the times when he is crying and won't go down for a nap. :) Below are some photos from Luke's 11th week of life.

Michigan

After our visit to Chicago, Luke and I flew to Michigan to stay for a week. Luke met his Grandma Stewart, his Uncle Ben, and his cousins, Francesca, Isabella and Gabriella. I wish I had taken more pictures that week, but below are a few.

Chicago

Matt, Luke and I spent 3 days in Chicago two weeks ago. We stayed with Aunt Tara and Uncle Todd, who were wonderful, generous hosts (Thank you!). Grandma and Grandpa Siorek came up from St. Louis, as did Uncle Andy and Sweetie. Below are some pictures from the too short trip.

Luke's First Airplane Ride

Matt, Luke and I went to Chicago a couple of weeks ago. Luke did pretty well on the plane. He slept through most of the 4-hour flight, and then when we landed he slept through our walk through the airport, our wait in baggage claim, the car ride to Aunt Tara's house, and didn't wake up until early the following morning. I think he slept about 8 hours straight! Alas, he does not do this at night when he is at home.

Here are some pictures of the flight:
