So Much for Spring

Sunday, March 29th, 2009

After a few weeks of spring temperatures in Chicago we woke up this morning to 6 inches of snow. Of course Luke had no problem with the cold weather since he got another chance to wear one of his cozy (and super cute) winter outfits.

Kasey heads back to work next week. Here are a few memories from Luke’s last week with Mommy.

In the cold winter, we spent lots of time walking around Target. We took a trip to Target today and we felt nostalgic.

Luke really likes sucking on his hands to soothe himself. Here he is practicing his Hook Em sign.

Sitting Up

Sunday, March 8th, 2009

In a rush to grow up, Luke is in the beginning phases of learning to sit up. Right now it’s more like a tri-pod, since he has to use his arms. Plus, he still needs a spotter. But it won’t be long before he’s ready to sit up on his own!

Horray for the Weekend!

Sunday, March 8th, 2009

The weather was decent in Chicago this weekend. We met with the family we are going to do the nanny share with, we went on walks, and in memory of Austin food, we had both BBQ and Mexican food. Plus, Luke got lots of quality time with Mom and Dad.

He got plenty of lap time with Mom.

And with Dad.

And so many kisses.

And he even got to hang out on Dad’s shoulders! So overall, it was an eventful weekend for the little boy. Let’s just hope we’ve seen the last of the snow!

The Blog is Back!

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

After a 1.5 week hiatus, the blog is back. I called my web hosting company and got it figured out. While the blog was down, Luke learned to hold things in his hands. Here are a few pictures of his latest trick.
