Luke at 9 Weeks

Luke had his two month check up this week. He now weighs 14 pounds 14 ounces and measures 25 and a quarter inches long. He is in the 98th percentile. Here are some pictures of him hanging out today with his friend Dillon who was born in October.



Also, here are some funny pictures from last week of Luke hanging out with his Dad.
And so, it was bound to happen sooner or later. We let Luke watch TV. He really seems to like a show on Noggin called Jack's Big Music Show. He only gets to watch 15 minutes a day. Are we terrible parents for letting him watch TV already? (Sorry for the sideways video. I'll try to find a way to rotate it and repost it . . . )

Happy Mother's Day

Eight weeks ago today, Luke made me a mother. Here's a look back at how much he's grown.

Exhausted

A Busy Week

Luke's fifth week of life was pretty busy. He got some visitors from Michigan! Grandpa and Grandma Presley came to see him. Here is Luke hanging out with his Grandpa:



Luke also got to spend a lot of time with his Uncle Matt and Aunt Zoe who live right here in Portland. Here is Luke with his Uncle Matt:


Grandma and Grandpa Presley got Luke a bunch of great books, a cool mobile for his crib, a knitted blanket and hat, and these sunglasses for his walks with mama:


Whew. After such a busy week, Luke just likes to relax:

Ha-Ha-Ha

Total Cuteness

Luke is 4 weeks old! Here is what one month of total cuteness looks like.

And below are some random pictures of Luke's fourth week.

First Week Home Alone with Mom

This is the first week that Luke and I have spent home alone together. We are having a fun time, but as you can imagine it leaves me little time to update this blog. What do we do all day? Well, one thing we do is play dress up. So, here's a fashion show:

Little Cowboy

Little Bear

Little Skier

Luke loooves his changing table. He can lay on it for 30 minutes at a time, just staring. We're not sure what he is staring at. Yesterday I put him on his belly and he demonstrated his superior head-raising skills:

Also, Luke finally got his belly button this week!

And here's the whole baby in all his glory.

I measured him yesterday and he is over 23 inches. Not sure of his weight since we don't have a scale, but he's probably over 11 pounds by now. He's a big, healthy guy!

Random Picture Friday

Here are some random pictures from Luke's third week of life.
