Milestones in Janurary and 3 months old

So being new parents we are always reading all these parenting books just to make sure we know what we are doing.  Let me tell you, not everything you can learn from a book...a lot of it is learn as you go, especially because each baby is different.  This month Luke did hit a couple milestones that we were so excited about!  Some were very simple, but then again when he just smiles everyone gets all giddy over it!  With all the new research on SIDS it is a known rule now that it is "Back to Sleep" Because of this new rule babies don't spend as much time on their tummys like they used to.  Now as parents we have to allow our babies some tummy time so they can workout their neck muscles to hold their head up and keep it steady.  This is NOT one of Lukey's favorite past times...he usually would last about 30 seconds until he was crying and whining facedown on the blanket!!!  We would still try a couple times a day to get him to work on lifting his head and the time would gradually increase....but he still is not a fan.  So early January I do tummy time with him and see this:

then slowly this:

and then all the way up!

I was soooo excited and happy for my strong boy that I must have taken a million pics of the same pose! LOL...talk about mamarazzi! And just because he gets better everyday he still can only do it for so long, but here is another pic to enjoy of Luke and his tummy time.

and this is how I know he has had enough...(I know I'm mean =P)

Another milestone that we were excited about is he can now grasp things...and bring them to his mouth! I know, I know...not that big...but for us it was, so we documented it with pictures =)

In this picture he is looking at me like "what are you doing?"

And I just had to get a close-up of his chubby little hands grabbing his toy.

And this is just a start to the many more milestones to come!!!
Here are a couple shots of Luke for his 3 month "photo shoot" at Auntie Beth's house, he is getting so big!!!

Another Jan. Party....Jassy's goodbye party =/

 We had another party in Jan...it was a goodbye party for Jass.  Her and her husband Brian got stationed at Whidbey Island in Washington so they were moving to Oak Harbor and we wanted to have a goodbye party with her and just hangout with her before they left.  The day before they left we all went to Walnut creek.  Our first stop was McCovey's and we had dinner there.

There were lots of us there to spend sometime with Jassy... her is Jacqueline, Jake, Brian, Jassy and Jennifer

Other side of the table was David, Joston, Ana, Leslee and Irwin.

All of us after we were stuffed!

And of course my baby boy was outfitted for McCoveys =)

After we ate at McCovey's we all decided to walk to The San Francisco Creamery which was around the corner.  Here we are walking down the street.

Luckily when we got there another big group had just left and good thing because look how big of a group we had!

So at the Cremery they have this ghing called " The Kitchen Sink" which is 8 flavors of ice crea, 8 toppings and TONS of whip cream!!!  We decided to order one and all split it! Here it is when it came out!

It was sooooo big!!! It covered my baby Luke's head!!!

We had actually since it a while back on Man V. Food on the travel channel and we always said we wanted to go there...so we finally did!  There were a lot of us that started eating...but the ones that kept on going throughout the WHOLE thing was Jass and Me and Jacqueline and Jake.

Afterwards we went to Beth's house b/c she wasn't able to come to dinner with us.  We had one last game night and of course the girls WON!!!! (we played Taboo)  Here is Beth and Dustin going and Jassy going.

Me and Jass answered a couple questions from my Twilight game since I told her once she leaves I won't have anyone to play with...

And here is one last picture of all the girls =)

We will miss you Jass!!! But you better come home and visit us and we will try to visit you too =) We always have our Skype or ooVoo dates too!

Mobile blogging?

So i downloaded this app on my new Droid for Blogger and decided I'd try it out to see if it works...
It seems pretty cool. I think I can even insert a picture from my phone. Let's see.
Nevermind that...it asks for the picture's URL and I don't know any by heart. I guess thus woukd just be good if I had something quick to say. Seems a litle weird to me that I'm blogging while laying in bed. What will technology bring us next? Good night off to sleep for a couple hours until Luke needs his mommy.

Parties in January...

So this first month of 2010 we have been pretty busy! David got home and it was nice to have Daddy home. Our first party this month was Lolo's 88th Birthday! It was at Auntie Cheeya's house and it was nice because lots of people came to celebrate with him.

All of the family wore red because red is supposed to be good luck. Since we didn't have anything red for Lukey we put him in one of his many niner outfits. Lolo was so happy to see everyone there, but he was excited to see that Luke and him were matching! (He was wearing a 49ers sweater too!) So we took some pictures of him with baby Luke.

Here is one where they aren't looking, but you can see their matching 49ers stuff!

The next party this month was Steven and Bridget's Engagement party. Look at their awesome cake!

Here is a little detail on the cake:

And some of their decorations and some guests.

And here is the happy couple! Congrats Bridget and Steven!!! Can't wait for the wedding =)
