Luke's First Month
Luke's second week involved a few trips out n about in Lafayette to the grocery store, hair salon & visits to see friends!
He did not enjoy his first bath, but we quickly discovered it was the fact that he couldn't be totally in the water yet... He LOVES bath time now that his belly button can get wet and so do we! It's so fun to watch him lay his head back in the water and float so relaxed and peaceful. It's part of our bedtime routine now
My sleepy boys...neither one wanted to wake up
Never too busy for a much needed nap though :)
Luke's next visitor was Godmom Krista who came to help out & hang out!
Luke helped celebrate his Dad's 27th Birthday at our favorite Sushi restaurant after a day out at the mall! The sushi roller said as soon as he is old enough he can come back for his first roll on the house because he was the littlest patron they had ever had at the restaurant!
Happy Birthday Dad!
Father-Son Day... Dad took boy to campus and the armory!
A few days later Grandpa Paul came to meet his Grandboy!
Great Grandma & Great Grandpa came too! He's the first grandbaby & the first great-grandbaby on both sides... so lots of excitement all around!
He fit right in to Great Grandma Ginny's arms
And Grandpa's too!
4 generations
We had such a special time together! It was a great visit filled with some great memories
Future tractor buddies
4 weeks old and growing by the minute it seems
One month old
Luke's first time out for Mexican... He wasn't too impressed
Home alas- Luke's first week!
Once we got the little man home it was time for more introductions...
Penny aka Nanny dog is great with Little Lucas! She is really gentle around him and she can tell that he is really something special. She gave him a couple welcome licks to spike up his little hair-do and then settled right in to watch over her boy :)
Mitty Kitty snuggled right in and has been even more sociable since Lucas came home!
Grandpa Bob arrived from Florida to meet his future fishing buddy!
Our first week was filled with cuddles from Luke and relishing in the newness of our little boy! The Grandmas did a great job of helping out and sharing wisdom and Dad took the night shifts while I got tried to get some rest- though it was tough to settle down from all the excitement and joy! Our second night home I just rolled around in bed for a few hours loving every new sleep position I could lay in now that my big ole belly was gone and my achy back was better! Our bodies are sure designed to do amazing things!!!
Lucas is a delight! We quickly got into the swing of things and before we knew it, it was time for our company to head back North & South! The first thing we did as a family in a quiet house was crawl into our bed with Lucas and Penny & Mitty followed suit. We had our first Ohana snuggled in our warm sheets while soaking in the moment- What a great memory!
Luke's Big Debut!
After Luke got his his bath and Ma got her first post delivery meal (a runny soggy omlette that I ate every last bite of) we moved to our new room with a MUCH less intimidating bed... no more crazy leg braces or removable parts. Luke and I spent some quiet time getting to know one another some more while Grandma Dian and Daddy got a little rest back at home. They came back in the afternoon for Luke's big debut....
Shortly after Grandma Karen arrived from Florida... to the blistery cold 0 degree corn country... but was instantly warmed when she saw this little guy
Not long after the WLFI-18 News crew came along with reporters from the Lafayette Journal & Courier to do a special story on the New Years Baby for Lafayette IN... and all of Tippecanoe County!
I got Lucas dressed in his special boilermaker outfit and he slept through his first interview :)
We spent the next two days in the hospital oohing & aahing over our new precious son & Grandson! By Sunday we were ready to get home and see what this family life was all about!
Our Family!
