Christmas Portraits!

We had so much fun getting his portraits made! It went so fast, he was just smiling at everything the lady was doing, so we got a lot of great shots in just a few minutes. Of course everyone there thought he was just precious.. cause he is!

Happy Halloween!

What a precious picture! I finally got a good smile on camera! Love it!Here's our sweet little turtle! It was fun dressing him up for his first halloween... of course he had no idea what was going on. He was a big hit at Uncle Dan and Aunt Jamie's costume party!

Florida trip

Last week we went to Florida to visit family. This was Luke's first time to fly in an airplane. He did very well.
Here he is on the Park n Fly shuttle with Grandaddy and Grammy.
Jared sat a few rows up, so we were able to pass him back and forth to keep him busy. Of course everyone around us thought he was so cute! Too much excitement, time for a nap. Thank goodness. That made it a lot easier.

Here we are in Florida. This was in St. Pete I believe. We had lunch on the pier. Beautiful weather, just a little windy.Here's Luke with my mom and Aunt Nancy. Still windy!
This is my uncle Michael with Luke's cousin Emma. They met for the first time. (I know I look so lovely)

Grammy bought this precious book for Luke called, "See ya later Alligator" and the alligator is a finger puppet. He was cracking up at it in the car. While we were there, Jared and I got to visit some old friends, Danny and Katie Zell.

Danny is a huge Buffalo Bills fan, so of course we had to get some pics of Luke and the Bills.

Back from Florida

Here's Luke's "sexy" pose. It's pretty cute!

Luke hadn't seen his mirror in a few days since we were gone, so he was pretty excited. He's pulling up on everything now, but this was the first time I had seen him climb onto something! I've really got to watch him now!!Here he is pulling himself up on his mirror for the first time!He loves when Daddy gets home, that means time to play!!

Random Pics

Luke got his first tooth!! After a week of waking up all through the night, fever and much fussiness, I felt a tooth poking through yesterday. I thought his behavior was all because of his shots last week, but I guess it was a combination of both. Poor guy!
Everything goes into his mouth!

We had fun at Grammy and Grandaddy's house last weekend. He was really into Holly, he kept wanting to scoot over to her and poke his fingers through the holes of her crate.

Here's Luke in his jogging stroller. He loves going on our morning jogs...
but he's usually asleep by the time we make it home.

He's really exploring everything now. He was pretty fasinated by the spring doorstop.
He's also very curious about the tile floor. At first he just wanted to slap it.. but now he's scooting around. Who knows what he'll find next week.

Fun with Grandaddy
He's really starting to get around now. It's fun to watch him scoot around our living room... I'm sure it's a lot less frustrating for him to finally reach everything he's been staring at for months :)

He hasn't crawled just yet, but he gets up on all fours and rocks.. so it won't be long!

This was our first visit to storytime at the library. My friend Ashley and her son Kyler go every week, and now that Luke is 6 months, we can start going! He had a blast! Each time we sang a song, he would just bounce and bounce and smile at the other kids.
We also went to the park for the first time this week with Ashley and Kyler. We had a picnic lunch, and Luke was just content with watching Kyler run around and play. Then he got to play on a few things too!!
He liked this little turtle, but of course he just kept trying to put his mouth all over it.
He had fun on the swing... he liked the wind blowing in his face!

Luke's new froggy pool!

Luke had fun in his new pool! At first he wasn't sure about it, but then he went down on his belly and splashed around. He thinks it's funny when he splashes his face. :)
