We ended January with a trip to Minneapolis to celebrate Gordon and Ruth's (John's grandparents) 65th wedding anniversary. Kathy planned a wonderful day filled with family and friends and we were so glad we were able to be there with Luke to help celebrate.
February brought a huge milestone to our household...Luke started smiling! He still makes us work for them but they are appearing more often. He especially loves his toy that has a mirror on it. He stares at it and smiles and coos. And as you can imagine, John and I stare at him staring at his toy. We try not to coo too much:)
As you all know John and I love cooking so we try to keep Luke in the kitchen with us whenever we are in there. Many afternoons I will put on some music and put Luke in his chair to watch as I prepare dinner or bake something.
He loves being part of the action but this is usually how it ends...
As you can also see our tablescape has changed a bit since Luke arrived.
Luke has started taking naps in his crib. I'm not looking forward to transitioning him out of our bedroom but he's starting to outgrow his bassinet. (Don't worry the blankets and accessories will be removed when he actually starts using his crib:)
Grandma Kathy I know this is your favorite face (fish face) so I put this one in just for you!
As always we cherish our visits from Grandpa and Grandma. They help us out so much and we are so glad Luke gets to see them so often.
Luke also got to spend his first weekend at the lake. He loved it so much he wanted to stay up most of the night to take it all in:) Daytime is for sleeping right? We look forward to spending plenty of weekends on Pelican and Lida! (Look how foggy and frosty it was!)
Naptime...
John often mentions that the best part of his day is coming home to see Luke. They love to cuddle together watching the news and relaxing after a hard day at work.
So big!!
