Saint Luke

Monday, April 27th, 2009

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.

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.

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.”

Easter in Madison

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

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.

The singing/dancing bunny Tom and Jane gave to Luke is hours of enjoyment for Luke. Bob likes it too.

But he looked pretty bashful when she gave the kiss : )

Growing Up So Fast

Sunday, April 5th, 2009

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.
