Sleep Dreams

So yesterday I knew Luke was getting sleepy but I really had to go to the bathroom. I propped him up on my pillow a little bit and left him on our bed. This is what I found when I came back not two minutes later...




He was one sleepy boy! He didn't stir when I moved him to his crib. He's definitely going through a growth spurt where one day he just wants to eat and the next he just wants to sleep. (By the way, today is an "eat" day... he was up every hour or two all night long and then wanted to get up for the day at 5:04. I went ahead and got up with him so Andrew could sleep a little more, thinking he would probably go back to sleep an hour or so later, as is his usual pattern, and then I could get some more sleep. Yeah, nothing doing. he's taken two 15-20 minute naps since then. Seriously! Anyone want to babysit?)

My Day

Giggles for Grandmas (and anyone else who's looking for a good time)

So, we just unloaded the camera, and this little gem was located:



seriously... does it get any better than that? I think not.

Dad.

Father's Day - a little late

So, this was Andrew's first Father's Day. Luke and I are awfully proud of him. He is a fabulous dad and the best husband ever. It's amazing how much having a baby changes your life. Little Luke has brought us SO much joy and also SO many sleepless nights. :) We love him. His personality is beginning to show more and more each day as he gets more communicative with his cooing. It's pretty funny/cute. I love to watch Luke and Andrew have a conversation. Luke obviously loves his dad and I get a kick out of watching his whole body smile in response to Andrew's antics. Too cute.

Andrew does such a good job taking care of us. He works very hard ALL day and then comes home and tries to help in any way he can. I appreciate his efforts so much. He was recently promoted to being branch manager which is great and it's wonderful that the "higher-ups" in his company see his worth. I'm proud of him for that. However, yesterday Luke and I went in to meet his staff there and I was even more proud of listening to them talk about my husband. He's been there less than a week and they had many glowing things to say about him. I'm glad that I married a man who knows how to appropriately handle responsibility in a kind way.

For Father's Day, one of the things Luke and I did for Andrew was frame some pictures for his new office. I need to get some recent ones of Andrew and Luke. But, for now, here are some of the ones taken to decorate Daddy's office... :) Okay, I didn't really frame this first one (or several of the others), but he's got such an angry face I thought I would share!










































Luke and I love his Daddy and are so thankful for him!

Swaddling clothes?

So last week... or the week before?? Anyway, poor little Luke was exhausted and simply would not go to sleep. He usually sleeps on his tummy and does pretty well with that. We couldn't think of anything to do to comfort the kid. Finally, I decided to try swaddling him. He hasn't been swaddled since he was a couple of weeks old, however, it put him to sleep immediately! It was kinda funny (or at least, it is now...). "They" say not to swaddle babies regularly after a month or so (cause it messes with their motor development), but man, it was nice that night!

Gimmicks

This is the only way I get a shower these days! Thank heaven for the fish chair! Sorry for the sideways one.

More funnies.

Yet again I just found these interesting/funny.



Can you see the baby in the tree?




Luke definitely eats here!
