Baptism for Luke

We had Luke's baptism FINALLY in April! It was so hard to get everyone's schedule together, particularly David and my dad's (Papa was still in DC at this time) BUT we finally found a date where everyone would be present and we did it! Here are a couple pictures from that day.

All dressed up and ready to go!

Luke and his grandparents =)

Luke did such a good job during the actual baptism...he loved the water!

And here were some of his guests...

Afterwards we all went to my parents and celebrated! We also celebrated David's promotion to Captain! I love my boys!

Lovin' Luke in April!!!

This blog is going to be more of a picture blog! I have so many great pictures of Luke from April that I had to share my favorites here! Some are pictures of milestones and others are pictures of Luke just being his cute-self.  Enjoy!!

Meeting the Easter Bunny

We took Luke to meet the Easter Bunny for the first time.  He wasn't too interested...but he wasn't scared either! LOL

We went to the Jelly Belly to see the easter bunny and we went with Beth and the kids.  Of course we had to get a picture of the babies...they are so cute!

Easter Sunday we went to Church and visited Grandma and Grandad then spent the rest of the time with Beth and the kids.  Here is my handsome little man in his big boy outfit.

Milestones in March

Our baby boy turned 5 months at the end of this month!!! He also hit a couple of milestones that we are soooo proud of =)  First off early this month he ROLLED OVER from tummy to back.  I figured he would roll over this way first because he really did NOT like tummy time. 

Before the roll....

And during the roll....

Then a couple days later we tried rice cereal. At first I don't think he was sure of what to do with the stuff that we put in his mouth...but he got he hang of it.

After a week or two it was on to Veggies! We started with Peas...

As you can see by the pictures...he DID NOT like peas!

Luckily this was not his reaction to all the foods we tried...his favorite veggie was Sweet Potatoes...

He was also starting to learn to sit up! We pu him in the Bumbo and also propped him up with the Boppy.  He liked to grab toys and play with them, he is getting so big!!!

Speaking of big...he is getting so TALL! I love this boy TOO much!

Another new thing our little boy tried out this month was his Jumperoo. It took him a while to warm up to it but eventually he got the hang of it and now he LOVES it =)

Holiday in March

So Lukey celebrated his first St. Patrick's Day. Our little family got all decked out in green.  It was lots of fun! That day I visited Beth and the kids and we took some cute shots of our babies (Lace and Luke)

Later that day after David got off work we all met up to eat at Fenton's for our St. Patrick's Day dinner. The two older girls were so cute!!! Check out Riley's headband...

Luke was sleeping when we got there and then a little bit later he woke up and he was all smiley so I had to take another pic...LOL

We ate our yummy food and then the kids wanted to play in the little playground with rides that they had,

And although very VERY belated...Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone from our family to yours!!

Friends having BABIES!!!

So this must be the year for BABIES!!!  Right around the time I found out I was pregnant, I found out my cousins and a couple friends were pregnant too! So much fun to know people that are pregnant around the same time as you b/c you have people to talk to that are going through what you are going through!  So now we all have our babies and they are all growing so fast!  And this year I find out more friends are having BABIES!!! So I'm super excited because two of my closest friends are pregnant and will be having babies this year! Yay more friends for Luke =)  We were able to celebrate a baby shower for one of my friends Shannon. We are so excited for her and her husband to have their little baby boy! We went to the baby shower and Luke was a big hit! LOL

Everyone got a chance to hold him...

Here we are with mommy-to-be Shannon

And this is my ABSOLUTE favorite picture!!! It's so sweet....I think Lukey is saying hello to his little future playmate =)

And the happy parents-to-be (and us)

We wish you two the BEST!!! Hope everything goes smoothly and you are enjoying the pregnancy. We can't WAIT for the Zane to be born and know that you guys will be great parents!!! We can't wait to meet him!

Luke and Friends

This month we have started having more playdates with Luke and his "friends"...well more like mommy's friends who have babies! LOL...And of course I use Beth's house which is the most kid-friendly house ever! This month we had a playdate with my friend Jeanelle, who I used to work with, and her daughter Isabella. It was so much fun to see Bella becuase she was soooo cute and just a happy baby. While the kids were playing it was nice to talk and hangout.

Look at poor Lukey....LOL...just laying on the floor...

Later that month we went to a birthday party for a friend who was turning 4! It was at this jumpy house place and all the kids had fun. Luke was introuced to the jumpy house but he just liked eating the net!

Here are all the babies:

And the big kids:

Then at the end of the month we went to the Oakland Zoo for the first time with some other mommies and their kiddos! It wasn't too fun getting there b/c Luke decided that he did not like the car that morning and cried the ENTIRE 45 minutes it took to get to the zoo. =( not fun for mommy (and Jaime who was my passenger) After all that crying he then proceeded to fall asleep as soon as I exited. After he finally woke up we went around to see the animals.

*Elephants*

*Monkeys*

 

We had a great time and look forward to more playdates in the future =)
