Camera Crazy

Mom has been going a little crazy with the camera lately.  Enjoy the latest pics of our boys!

 

A "happy 6 month birthday" cinnamon roll!

Look at my crazy hair!

 

Luke is 6 months old!

We can't believe Luke is already six months old!  It really seems just like yesterday that he made his appearance into our lives.  He has brought us so much joy and we fall more in love with him every day.  He's such a laid back little fella and a total snuggler.  His favorite thing to do is bury his head in your shoulder when you pick him up.  What a sweetie!
His newest pastime is talking up a storm.  He's always babbling "Ma ma ma ma" or "Da da da da" or something in between the two.  He lights up when big brother or Dad walk into the room and has so much fun with them.   He's also sitting up all by himself for minutes at a time.  He loves to hang out on the floor and play with his favorite toys, but his absolute favorite place is still his Johnny Jumper.  He could bounce in it for hours!  
Unfortunately, his least favorite place to be is still his bed, but he's getting better with sleep every day.  One night last week he slept for 7 hours straight!  A small miracle, but a miracle nonetheless :).


We got a new camera this week, so below are some of the pictures we took of Luke on his 6 month birthday.  Enjoy!

New Pics!

Here are some pictures of our guys from the past few months.  We've been having lots of fun so I hope you enjoy them!

Luke's first trip to the park...he loved it!

He gets very relaxed in the stroller!

After his first tastes of cereal.  He looks a little confused here!

They're best buds!

 

Luke's First Food!

Luke had his first bites of baby cereal on Sunday and he loved it!  Luckily, we caught it all on tape...enjoy!

5 Months!

Luke turned 5 months old on February 19th, and he is growing like a weed!  He now weighs 17lbs 3ozs and is 26 inches long.  He never did lose any of the hair he had a birth, so his wild hair tends to stick up all over the place!  He's sitting up by himself now for short periods of time and he loves his "Johnny Jumper" that attaches to the door frame.  It is his favorite place to be when mom is getting some work done in the kitchen.  He just bounces away and takes in what is going on around him.  The weather has been warming up lately, and he loves our trips to the park in the afternoon.  He's not interested in the toys yet, but could sit and watch what is going on around him for hours.  As always, he loves his big brother and always saves his biggest laughs for him.  Here are Luke's 5 month pics in the chair in his room.  Look how much he's grown!

 

Big boy!

A little wobbly!

 

Photo Shoot

I was browsing through some pictures yesterday and came across these that I shot right before Christmas.  I was trying to get a good photo to put on our Christmas cards. I never did get that perfect shot, but I did get a few that were worth sharing. 

Do we have to do this mom?

OK, we're ready!

Got it yet?

Cheese!

Any time now...

Moooom hurry!

Hang in there Luke!

After a quick wardrobe change, the final shot!

Snow Days!

We got so much snow!  First there was the blizzard, which kept Blake out of school for four days, then the next week brought another big snowstorm that had Blake at home for three more days.  He and Luke loved the extra time together, but mom was about to go stir crazy by the end of it all!  Thank goodness we are now enjoying some sun and warmer temps.  

Here are a few pics from our snow days.  We ventured outside for just a few minutes so Luke could experience his first snow.  He loved his snow outfit, but wasn't quite sure what to think of all the white stuff!

 

I feel all cozy mom!

Umm, what is this stuff?!?
