This is my new favorite:

Tummy time...


He fell asleep in the swing...

Talking to Daddy...

Yay - he's finally taking the bottle!! (which is good because I start back to work next week)!!

The cats think the play mat is for them...

And congratulations to friends Michael and Laura Brown who just had baby Caleb Michael on Sept. 14th. He was 7lbs 11oz. And he is a cutie!!

Luke is 11 weeks old today!

Luke hasn't quite figured out that you're supposed to smile for the camera. He can be laughing and smiling one minute and then as soon as you get the camera out, he puts on his 'serious' face. I have to snap about 25 pictures before I get a good one. Thank God for digital!!

Sittin' on Daddy's lap...


"Hey y'all... what's up??"


Luke wears this outfit in honor of his 2nd cousin Drew, who is a firefighter and an EMT!


"Ha ha. That's a funny joke, Dad!"


"Momma said knock you out... I'm gonna knock you out..."
(that's an old rap song by LL Cool J, for those of you that don't know)


Luke loves Bath time...


And I love those hooded towels...

It's Football Time in Tennessee!!!

Don't you just love this time of year?? Luke got all dressed up for his first football game! We think he liked it because he stayed awake for the whole game. And we even caught him drooling while he was watching.

He still needs to grow into the hat...

Silly Boy!

My new favorite pic:

As you can already see from the previous post, the little guy makes some funny faces. In some pictures, he looks like a totally different kid. Here are some more:
Cute smile...


Cute frown...



"Hey, what's up?"


He loves 'tummy time' ...


The cats love it too...


And get ready to laugh...
Trying to get the perfect smile pic, I was just snapping away while Greg was making funny faces at Luke. He was on the bouncy seat having a good ol' time. Well, the camera just happened to catch a "priceless" moment...

(if you can't tell what that is, he is spitting up, and we caught it in mid air)!

Luke is 2 months old!!

Today, we've reached the 2-month mark! And with that came his first round of immunizations. The little guy did fine with the shots -- he was more upset that he was being held down than actually having the needle stick him.
He now weighs 12lbs 5oz, which is in the 60th percentile. And he's grown to 23 inches long, which is in the 50th percentile.

More good news... two nights ago he slept from 9pm to 6am!! What a good boy! Let's hope he keeps that up when it's time for me to go back to work!

Here are some pictures from the doctor's visit and from the past week:




Lieutenant Dan, I think something bit me...


Look at my pretty blue eyes...


"What you talking about Willis?"






"How YOU doin'?"


Of course Comet and Pumpkin have to get in the pictures... I think they feel a little left out.




And with the family...
This is four generations... Pa (and his sisters, Martha and Sara) and then my Mom, me and Luke (who wasn't too happy about getting his picture made).

Ding Dong.... Avon Calling!!

Yep - I have joined the ranks as an official Avon Sales Representative!! I am so excited about selling Avon. I don't know if you've looked at a catalog in a while, but they have so many great products - and not just makeup and skin care. They have some really pretty jewelry, some shoes and purses, lingerie, and even a whole men's line. Just let me know if you want me to send you a catalog! (Hey- I need some way to pay for the diapers and day care)! =)
