We took advantage of the summer weather to hit the town. First up on the tour, Saint Luke School across the street from our pediatrician in Lakeview.
It’s pretty amazing what passes for a photo op when you have a baby.
Luke with another one of his big smiles.

Such a happy baby.
We introduced Luke to rice cereal this week. Quite a sight. At first he saw no benefit from the strange mash we were putting in his mouth so he spit it right back at us. But after a few tries he was hooked. Now he screaches for more between bites.
After a long day Luke falls asleep while eating his bedtime bottle.
Luke has been so cute and so smiley lately. He has really been enjoyable. Here are some of his better moments.
Luke is quickly mastering “tummy time.”
And he still enjoys his bouncy chair.
His new BOB stroller is a smoothe ride.
And he loves to hit the town in it.
He loves showing off in Daddy’s sunglasses.
And he might even be getting Daddy’s dimples.
Luke traveled to Madison, Wisconsin to spend his first Easter with Grammy and Grandpa. He had a great visit, and he was on his best behavior. Abby enjoyed the trip as well. She ran and ran in the yard and got to play with another dog. She was smiling from ear to ear.
Luke enjoys making Easter eggs with Grammy.
The singing/dancing bunny Tom and Jane gave to Luke is hours of enjoyment for Luke. Bob likes it too.
Luke can’t believe the surprise twist at the end of story time.
Happy Birthday, Bill!
Luke hangs with his new buddies, Tom and Jane.
Luke shows he’s a big boy while swinging in the neighborhood.
This weekend, Luke got a visit from cousin Rylie.
And sure, he may have been the one to “lean in.”
But he looked pretty bashful when she gave the kiss : )
The days are flying by now that Luke is at the Nanny. Work, Luke, Sleep, Repeat. Here he is showing us that he is growing up soooo fast by practicing standing up and generally being a big boy.
Luke practices standing up in his crib.
And on the bed.
With help from Dad, of course.
He’s such a big boy, he tries standing on one foot!
And he’s already trying to be cool by wearing sunglasses inside.
And just when you think he’s growing up too fast, Luke falls asleep in Daddy’s arms and sleeps like a baby.
Luke looks handsome in the crib.
And practices his look of surprise on the bed.
The irony isn’t lost on Luke as we place the stuffed duck in the picture.
It’s nap time for the family.
And everyone hangs out on the bed.
