Play time in the kitchen...

9 Months!

My how time flies!  Sweet Luke is now 9 months old, and a little ball of fire.  He's definitely a little stinker, but the happiest baby I've ever seen, that is, unless we're trying to get him to sleep or his belly is empty.

He has a new best friend named Monkey who he sleeps with and also carries with him when he wakes up in the morning and from naps.

Did I tell you he's CRAWLING?!  Yes, that's right, he's been crawling since Memorial Day and we can't keep him still.  The world is one big adventure to him now.  This means we've been doing a ton of baby proofing and storing of Legos.  For some reason, he heads straight for the Wii and the Legos at any chance he gets.  Imagine that!

Luke also loves to dance!  Turn on the music and he starts bouncing his head and kicking his legs.  He also laughs hysterically and it just might be the cutest thing I've ever seen!

Here is his 9 month photo shoot.

This one was quite the adventure.  I enlisted Blake's help and it took both of us to keep Luke from diving out of the chair or crawling off the bed.  I managed to get some really great pics though. Here they are!

Summer Fun

We've been having a great summer.  Luke has been crawling for about three weeks now and is pulling up on everything!  He is officially a wild man and into anything he can get his hands on!  He's so curious and quite the little tough guy.

Blake attended the Moore Lion football camp last week and had a great time.  He learned a lot of new skills and is even more excited about football.  After his next football camp next week, he'll be one step closer to meeting his goal of being the next Jerry Rice.

Luke turns nine months old tomorrow!  I'll post his pics soon.

Thanks for visiting!

8 Months!

We have an eight month old!  Actually, we have an eight month old who is on the verge of crawling and is in to EVERYTHING.  His new nickname is Wild Man, because this kid is wild!  Oh my, I'm going to have my work cut out for me when Luke becomes mobile, which is probably just days away.  

He's also getting two new teeth.  His top front teeth are poking through already...the left one is already through and the right one is working on it.  I can't believe he's about to have four teeth!

Did I mention he's a wild man?? :)

Here are some pics from our eight month photo shoot.  I barely got any good ones because he literally would not stay still long enough.  Enjoy!

Baby butt crack alert!

The rest of the shots look something like this.

 

I decided to call it a day when he almost fell out of the chair!

7 months old...

I truly can't believe that Luke is already 7 months old.  I knew when he was born (or even before he was born) that the time would fly, but I guess I just wasn't as prepared as I thought.  It's so funny how, our little family that was just three for so long, is now complete as a family of four.  Luke and Blake are like two peas in a pod- already the best of friends.  Luke just lights up whenever his big brother walks into the room and Blake is always happy to play to his tiny audience of one.

 

This is usually Luke's expression when Blake is in the room.

Our little guy has two teeth now!  They both came in within a few days of each other about 2 weeks ago.  He had a little bit of trouble with them, but was quickly back to his usual self.  Luke is happiest after he's had plenty of sleep and he's always content when we are outside or out and about running errands.  He's not close to crawling yet.  In fact, he doesn't even act interested in it all.  Instead, he likes to stand up for as long as possible and can even stand by himself when he's holding on to something.  His doctor said it's possible he might skip the crawling all together and go straight to walking.  I'm really not in a hurry for him to do either!  He has also discovered his voice and the fact that making it louder will attract attention.  He had quite a time one evening yelling at me and then laughing hysterically when I turned to look at him.  He's quite the ham.  

Today we did Luke's 7 month "portraits", which was basically just me trying my hardest to get some pics that weren't blurry due to little booger's wiggling.

Here are some more pics I snapped today of both boys.  If you look closely you can see Luke's new teeth!

Can you tell we're kind of proud of them?  By the way, although they are both gorgeous subjects, Luke happens to get the most of my practice because he's the only one who can't run from the camera!  Ha!

What We've Been Up to

Whew!  We've had a lot going on here at the Hart house.  Soccer season is in full swing and triathlon season has begun, which means we have been super busy.  I've managed to take some pics of some of our fun, so I thought I'd share!

We've had very warm weather here so we love taking advantage of it with afternoon walks and trips to the park.  Here's Luke just hanging out in his stroller, one of his favorite things to do!

Paul Bunyan!  Luke is getting a little big for all his clothes!

P.S.  Today is Luke's 7 month birthday!  I'll post his 7 month pics soon.
