Fellman Family Digest: January 2012

January was a fun month for our family. Due to Luke's birth, Christmas was celebrated with both families a little later. We spent New Years with the Fellman side and the Schmeets side got together when Stuart and his family came to town mid-month. It was so fun for the cousins to all meet each other.

Lucas had his baby pictures taken and it was a great afternoon.

We had a wonderful photographer and she was very patient and forgiving when little Luke decided to go potty on her equipment...three times!

One of the many joys of having a baby boy:)

This one was taken for Dad:) Go Twins!

Thanks to Grandma Fellman we now have pee-pee tee-pees in the house!

Luke had his first doctor's appointment this month and we were told he is a healthy boy! As you can see from his "Soup Can Pictures" he is growing more and more each week.

We have also mastered (ok gotten better at) the art of bathing an infant...with some help from Grandma Schmeets and also investing in a space heater to use during bathtime, it is now a super fun event for little Luke! He also gets a baby massage after each bath which he appears to love.

At the end of the month we celebrated the Chinese New Year at Jeff and Vivian's. Vivian cooked a wonderful Chinese meal for us all and Luke was able to celebrate his first Chinese holiday. It was also our first official snowstorm of the season...the dogs especially enjoyed it!
