May 2012


This month I was a little late with the blog...time just goes way too fast!!!
May started out with a great surprise for Lucas...a B.O.B.!!  Now he can go jogging with mommy!  He is now old enough to sit up in his stroller instead of his carseat so he loves being able to see everything when we go for walks/runs.


He is finally big enough to reach all of the toys on his exersaucer which is also a lot of fun for him.



Grandpa & Grandma Schmeets came over for a Mother's Day fish fry and Lucas got so tired in Grandpa's arms that we COULD NOT keep him awake.


Even with the pacifier removed...nothing. 


I got to celebrate my first Mother's Day.  It's true what they say, being a mother is one of the greatest gifts in the world.


This baptism gown is over 100 years old and has been passed down through the Fellman generations.  Although it was too snug to wear for the baptism, we were honored to at least have a picture of Lucas in it.




 Here are a few more pictures from Luke's baptism.  Godparents (and uncle/aunt) Kevin & Jill Borg.  Pastor Chuck performing the baptism at Hope South Lutheran.

Uncle Eric and cousin Ben

Lucas was amazed how well his cousin Thomas could work all of the toys on his exersaucer.  It won't be long before they are running around together and showing each other their toys.




Auntie Jill (and Godmother) escaping the party for some quiet reading time together.

Over the baptism weekend we also were able to participate in the Fargo marathon.  Some did the 5k, 10k and Vivian did the half marathon.  Way to go Vivian!  It was a great weekend together and as always, it is so fun to see the kids all together.

So proud of his auntie Vivian!!  




These next two pictures make me laugh because I can see Luke's personality shining through already.

"Hi Mom!  I'm just playing!"

"Hey mom...I just might be up to something...and I might have a surprise in my diaper for you."

Our little nudist loves to be free.  And when you're 5 months old do you really need more than a pair of socks to be cute?

Lucas was able to attend his cousin Brianna's pool party.  It wash his first time in a pool and he really liked it.  The water was a little cool but after he was used to it his little legs were kicking up a storm and he had a blast watching all of the kids jumping in and going down the water slide.  


Summer is officially here!  We love all of the warm days spent outside.  

Enjoying a summer stroll with Grandma Schmeets:)

  
Have a great month!

April 2012

I feel like in April Lucas really started to grow and devolop his personality.  He has become quite the chatterbox and is so interactive now.  It is such a fun time (but then again I've said that about every month!)



When I first started putting him in his exersaucer he looked at me like, "So...you want me to play with this stuff or what?"



He loves to hang out in dad's big leather chair.


Of course Hutch is by his side 24/7.  They will be best friends in a few years.


Reading with Grandma Fellman






I love this outfit...thank you Auntie Julie!



Lucas and Sophie have become very close friends...mostly because he realized she was chewable.




He really wanted to see himself in the mirror.



Practicing rolling over.  It's always more fun in a diaper and socks!  And if you'll notice how he has decided to use the blanket as an assistive device...smartie pants:)



Future Twins fan?  I think so!


Pre-bathtime with dad:)


4 month photo!!!  24.5 inches and almost 14 lbs.



Luke loves bathtime.  I remember when we first brought him home and he screamed when we bathed him...now he gets mad when we take him out.



Playing with soft blocks while mom makes dinner is a daily thing.


Enjoying some tummy time


Post-bathtime


Easter with the cousins


Easter baskets!

Snuggling with Grandpa Schmeets




He also loves snuggling and going on a house tour with Grandma Schmeets.  So many new things to see.


We spent our first weekend of the season at the lake.  It was a little rainy but we made the most of it with a huge BBQ rib dinner.  Luke supervised the grilling in the garage.


John's boss's daughter loved taking care of Lucas the night of the rib dinner.  She read to him and sat in the nursery room the entire time while he fell asleep.  She is such as sweet girl.


Waking up and checking email with Grandpa Fellman at the cabin.


Falling alseep in Grandma Schmeets's arms.  What a wonderful place to be.
