Luke vs. the shopping bag
Friday, August 28th, 2009Luke in Chicago
Friday, August 28th, 2009Here’s a few pictures of Luke in and around our house in Chicago.
Luke wrestling with his Costco sized box of baby wipes.
Luke with Nanny Clemen and Vienne. Since Vienne is two months older than Luke he's been getting some solid tips on standing up, walking, and hopefully growing some hair.
Luke and "Cooper the Longhorn" having a staring contest on the living room floor. While Cooper is still a tad taller, at 23 lbs. Luke crushes him in the weight dept.
New Orleans visit
Saturday, August 22nd, 2009Here’s a few pictures of Luke from our trip to New Orleans. Just when we think we’ve seen all the faces he can make, he uncorks another hilarious one.

Luke vs. Magazine
Monday, August 17th, 2009True to form, Luke has found another in a long line of favorite “non-toy toys.” We may need to subscribe to some more magazines to keep him in supply though.
Geaux Tigers!!
Wednesday, August 12th, 2009We made it to New Orleans on Monday after a 15 hour night time drive down from Chicago (including stops). Luke was a champ. He slept almost the entire trip and to our complete amazement didn’t cry once. Since we’ve been in Louisiana, Luke has already had a couple of “firsts.” On Tuesday he not only learned to get himself into a sitting position from laying on his back, but he also pulled himself up to a standing position. Walking is right around the corner.

Weekend in the city
Wednesday, August 5th, 2009Casey, Lauren, and Rylie came into the city last weekend for a visit. Luke was pretty excited to see all the things his older cousin could do…especially the “walking around” part. Hopefully Luke didn’t pick up too many pointers from Rylie. We’re just getting used to his crawling phase.

Lincoln Park Zoo
Wednesday, August 5th, 2009We took Luke to the Lincoln Park Zoo a few weekends ago to see the animals. While he had a hard time spotting the bigger animals (lions, giraffes, etc.) he loved looking at the fish. Good thing for us the Lincoln Park Zoo had free admission because Luke fell asleep half way through the trip.

Luke checking out the fish. We could have stayed here all day and he would have been happy.
Luke and Dan at the polar bear tank. Even though the bears were sleeping, Luke loved looking at the water.
