Luke is four months old!

Our little tough guy Luke is now 4 months old!  We can't believe he's already that big.  
It's gone by so fast!  He has learned how to roll over from front to back and is giggling and smiling now more than ever.  He loves it when we sing to him, especially "You are my sunshine" and "Twinkle twinkle little star."  His favorite thing to do is watch his big brother and Blake loves to entertain him and make him laugh.  Although he's still not sleeping very well, we are working on it and hopefully he'll be sleeping like a champ soon.  In the meantime, we are just enjoying his grins and playful kicks in the middle of the night.  He likes to think it's playtime when he wakes up! 

Happy boys

Three month pics!

Finally, Luke's three month pictures!  They're not exactly well thought out or planned.  I happened to realize three days after he turned three months that "oops, I forgot your three month pics!"  Knowing that if I didn't take them at that very second they would probably never get done, I quickly plopped Luke in his chair and snapped away.  As you can see he wasn't really in the mood to be photographed, but he sure was enjoying his fingers!
Three months has been a treat.  Luke has most definitely found his hands and has started using them to grab at and hold onto objects.  He absolutely loves to grin and giggle and he gives us huge smiles when we sing to him or give his belly a tickle.  He loves to watch his big brother and I think he smiles the most for him.  We are still dealing with the sleep issues.  This kid doesn't like to nap!  At the most his naps are 30 minutes long.  I'm hoping this is just a phase.  He's waking up just about every two to three hours at night now, which is a big regression from a few months ago.  I'm guessing this is because he's not getting enough calories during the day and he's just hungry more at night.  We're not ready to feed him solids yet though, so I'll just wake up more for now.  He'll grow out of it before we know it anyways.
Enjoy the pictures of our three month old!

3 months, Yay!!

So, Luke Hart is now 3 months old.  What does that mean you ask?  Well, in our world it means very. little. sleep.  It seems baby brother is going through a growth spurt and eats almost every two hours, twenty four hours a day.  Needless to say, mom isn't getting much done these days.  Our little guy has also decided in the last month or so that he doesn't like to nap either.  We're talking 30 minutes at best, and 15 of those are spent trying to sneak him out of my arms and into bed without waking him!  I say all of this to explain my lack of blog posts.  One of these days I'm sure I'll be able to devote some time to blogging (or should I say one of these years?)  Until then, here are a few recent pics, with more three month pics to come.

Counting our Blessings

Luke is home and healing after a quick surgery on Friday, December 5th.  After a recurring infection on his bottom came back for the 3rd time, we were referred to a pediatric surgeon at Children's Hospital who immediately diagnosed the issue and quickly performed the surgery.  Now Luke is well on his way to being back to his old self.  Thanks to everyone for all your prayers as we took care of our baby boy!

Luke is Two Months Old!

My favorite place to be when Mom's holding me
Wow, how time flies!  I can't believe it has already been two months since we welcomed our baby boy into the world.  We've learned so much about him already!  He loves to snuggle, smile, coo and eat.  His favorite place to be is the changing table in his room, where he can look at all the different lights and watch the ceiling fan.  He always has a smile for the picture that Blake painted for him.  It hangs right above his dresser and he loves it!  If he's not eating or sleeping, he's usually in one of our arms looking out at the world.  He is such a precious little guy!
 
Gracie loves me!

I love hangin' with big brother!

My mom made me wear this!
But I love her anyways!
