2 Months Old Luke!

Luke is growing, growing, growing...12 lbs 2 oz! I looked back in my records and found Hannah's stats: she was only 9 lbs 8 oz at 2 months - what a big boy we have! HAPPY is how I would describe Luke in one word. He is a smiley little guy, especially in the mornings. Luke wakes up happy & hungry - ready for whatever the day brings! While he does follow a pretty tight schedule - Luke is pretty much ok with any schedule changes. He happily naps in his car seat, stroller or sling and calmly takes a pacifier to wait out meals (not that long, but still nice!).



He adores his big sister! Luke follows her voice all day long, smiles at her when she talks to him, and doesn't seem to mind her tight "hugs", kisses and "pats" on the back (she loves to help burp him). He has been sleeping through the night for a couple of weeks (5+ hrs of sleep) hooray! and continues to be very alert and aware of his surrounding sounds & voices. Luke is tall! He is already wearing 3-6 month size clothes for the length - 75% percentile for height! We braved the neighboring Limestone County Health Department for his 2 month shots - our pediatricians office was closed the week he was eligible for shots and we wanted to receive them before our TX trip. Luke did awesome and came away with some pretty cool blue camo band-aides! Love my sweet boy so much!

Great Grandpa Visit

Most children grow up with grandparents, but only a small few it seems get to experience a relationship with a great grandparent! Hannah still talks about Granny Dee (my grandmother who passed away last October)and always remembers her "Papa Carlitos" too! We had a chance to visit my Grandpa while we were down in Texas, and introduce him to baby Luke. He was thrilled we made the trip - and thoroughly enjoyed spending time with my children! He loves music & dancing and Hannah put on quite the show, showing off her dance moves! Grandpa even let her play one of his old guitars - she was beyond excited! Sweet baby Luke just smiled and cooed, what more could a proud great grandpa want! Love you Grandpa - Hannah and Luke do too!

Back at the Ranch

Wouldn't be a trip to Texas without a visit to the RANCH! Spending a day with Aunt Carla & Uncle Joey included everything from eating Cooper's BBQ, riding the mule & feeding the cows/horses, feeding the fish, visiting the barn & pool, and of course sitting on the porch catching a breeze! Luke loved his first visit to the ranch - and who could blame him? Life is good when you are at the ranch!

Welcome to Texas Luke!

Big sister Hannah was super excited to head to Texas and introduce everyone to her little brother! Always LOVE to be surrounded by our family - we love & miss all the cooking, baking, laughing, visiting, hugs & kisses that we share with everyone while we are back home so much! Jason, Lisa, Aunt Kurly & Uncle Ricky were the first ones to come meet little baby Luke - such sweet pictures...we have so much fun together!











A sweet visit from Sherry...



And of course we love every minute we have with Nana & Papa - so thankful for our times together! Love you so much & enjoy coming home, especially with Hannah & Luke!









Sweet big sister loves her little brother soooooo much! What a great trip we had with everyone - miss you all and love you so very much! Ready for our next Texas trip! Love going anywhere with these two!
