A Day at the Park!

Today we met our friends Matt and Laura down at the park for some fun with the kids. It was Luke's first time in a real swing. Here are some pictures:




"Hey -- who's that kid over there?"


"The other kid" is David, who is 13 months old:


Greg took Luke for a ride down the slide:




Here are some more pictures we've taken of the little guy recently:

All bundled up and ready to go...


Watching TV with Daddy... I think it was 'American Idol.'


And here he is talking to Tim Cline... Luke must have been telling him a joke he heard at school.

Luke is 7 months old!!

And as cute as ever! He's so interactive now, and he's got a fun little personality. It's so easy to make him laugh. And he's very ticklish. You can get him chuckling by doing the simplest little thing. Right now he thinks it's so funny when you make a clicking sound with your tongue.

Luke loves his 'kitty kitties'!! As you can see by this series of pictures, the cats love him too. But poor Luke has to share his toys with the cats.

Here's Luke playing on his blanket... minding his own business..


When along comes Little Miss Pumpkin, who had to get under the covers...




Then Comet decided he wanted to play too...


How cute is this? Luke wants to pet the kitty...


But Comet knows as soon as Luke gets any fur in his hands, he holds on for dear life...


I love this picture... "What Mom? We're not doing anything!"


So with all the fun going on, Pogo had to get in on the action too...


How cute is this???


And the fun doesn't stop there... Pumpkin was helping me clean up after dinner by licking Luke's hands!


And finally, a few more cute poses of the little guy...

Pig Boy!

I think Luke grows a little more every day. I can't believe how big he's getting! Our new nickname for him is 'Pig Boy,' because he eats so much! Before he goes to bed, he usually eats a serving (or two) of baby food. (Sweet potatoes is his favorite). And then he eats a 7- or 8-oz bottle before bed. You would think that would keep him happy all night long. But he still wakes up around 3 or 4am to eat about 6-oz more! See - that's why we call him Pig Boy!
Anyway, he's doing really well sitting up on his own. And he's starting to figure out how to move around. I haven't actually seen him crawl or anything. But Mr. Houdini knows how to do things when I'm not watching. For example, I'll go lay him down in his crib on his tummy and ten minutes later I'll come up to check on him and he's on the other side of the crib, turned 180-degrees and on his back. I don't know how he does it.





And you gotta have a 'naked baby' pic to show all their girlfriends when they get older....



And since his favorite thing to do is eat, I'll incude some pictures of him eating...








Just check out that big belly...






And we're trying to get him to learn how to hold his own bottle... he's doing so well...
