CHRISTMAS IS OVER!

This is Great Grandma Lilly holding Luke. Don't they look sweet!

All 13 great grandkids on the Lilly side.

So we had a lot of Christmas' this year. One on the 19th, two on the 24th, 26th, and the 27th. As you can see Luke was pooped out. We had a great time in Kansas. Luke did awesome, hardly made a peep as we took the 14 hour trip there and then back with Shannon and Gavin. We even attended Darcy's baby shower on the 27th also. Now we are getting ready for our New Year's Eve party that my husband is making throw. I'm still going to good to bed at 10 because someone won't have to get up several times throughout the night and get up a 5 am.

That's right Lilly is pushing Luke is a play stroller. I was supervising.

GK Holiday Program

So last Tuesday was Growing Kids Holiday Porgram. Luke came and sat with my parents while I worked. Afterwards my Boss' wife Beth was so excited to meet him she took a ton of pictures with Santa and Mrs. Claus. By the way Mrs. Clause is actually Miss Louise who is one of his infant teachers when he starts in January. (tear) Look knows that it was Louise by the way.

New Schedule

Luke is on a new schedule and this is day number 2. It is going really well. He likes to talk to the little doggies on the bouncy seat and the little guy sleeps just like mommy (legs underneath the body). His is so cute!

First Play Date

Today Luke had his first "play date" with Blake. My good friend Shanna had Blake about 9 days ago. Its crazy to think that Luke was his size nine weeks ago. As you see they really enjoyed their time together. Luke looks like a monster here at he is only 10 pounds. It's amazing how quickly babies grow.

Time Flies!

Luke had a doctor's appointment on Tuesday. He is growing sooo fast. He is 10.2 lbs and 22 inches tall now. Still in newborn clothing but they are starting to phase out. I love taking care of him. I know he loves me because he follows me with his eyes whenever I am around. I just hope that continues when he goes to daycare...BOO! Atleast I am only three doors done, too bad I tell my staff that can't be with their children when their on the clock. I'm going to have to follow my own words. I LOVE LUKE!

Dedication

My baby boy was dedicated this morning at church. Most of the family was able to be there for this big moment in Luke's life...even though he will not remember it but his loving parents will. I tried to find a newborn suit but no luck so he was dressed like a prep.

Luke is all smiles in the morning and if I do say so myself...it's the cutest thing ever. He smiles a lot like I did when I was little.

It was really hard to decorate with a little one. This year are tree is about 10 feet tall. It is huge so it was difficult to decorate seeing that I am only half as tall. I tried my best. I also hung the wreaths and things around the windows with the new command hooks and they did not work. They all fell down so I need to figure out what to do to get it up.

Monday my mom took to me to shippshe for my B-day present. We have been doing this for years...its our tradition. Luke of course joined us so this is a picture of her in the fancy bathroom. They had a little private are for moms to nursery. Thank you! We had a great time and Luke did wonderfully.
