A Proud PeePaw


This shows how long it's been since I uploaded pictures
from my camera...I took this picture when PeePaw came
in town the first weekend of March. Better later than never!

Go Cats!


This St. Patrick's Day we opted to wear blue rather than
green!

Rain Rain


We are SO ready for this rain to go away! However, the rain
didn't stop Caleb from having a little fun outside!

Naptime

A Resemblance

When Luke's eyes are open, I just don't think he and Caleb
look alike...
But, when he is sound asleep, I see a resemblance to our
first born who napped in that Boppy as well.

His Homecoming

On Sunday, February 27, we were given the ok to head home
from the hospital! I was so excited because I had matching
shirts for both boys. Luke's was a size 3 mo, so I knew it
would be a little big on him...but that's when I assumed he
would be a bigger baby than Caleb. Boy was I wrong! It was
absolutely huge on him, and absolutely precious!

One Week Old

Luke, you are one week old!
You are a really good baby! The only time you cry really is
during diaper changes, and you're getting better at that.
*****
At the doctor for your first checkup you weighed 7 pounds,
2 ounces! We were so happy that you passed your birth
weight and are growing and healthy!!
*****
You eat between every 2 1/2 and 3 1/2 hours during the day
and about every 4 hours at night. So far, you always go right
back to sleep after nighttime feedings, and stay awake for
up to an hour during the day.
*****
You sleep in your Rock & Play Sleeper at night by our bed
and for most naps. However, you love napping in bed with
Mommy!
*****
Like your brother, you are a spitter, and it's actually getting
worse each day. :( I had my first necessary clothing change
from a gusher yesterday, and we are going through burp
cloths faster than I can keep up with the laundry. Looks like
we will need to be purchasing those bibs after all...
*****
Unlike your brother, you are a cuddler...and we LOVE that!
*****
We love you so much, Luke! You are the most precious thing
and I can't wait to watch you grow!

Brothers

On Saturday morning my parents brought Caleb over to the
hospital so he could meet his little brother. At first he wasn't
too sure of the situation, and even tried to escape from the
room. But after a little reassuring, he climbed up in my lap
and wanted to hold his brother.


Priceless!








He's already pestering him!
*****
Adjusting to having a little brother around has been difficult
on Caleb, as we all imagined. He is roaring a lot louder these
days, has asked to put baby Luke back in my tummy, and
loves when Luke is asleep in his bed and not in someone's
arms. Our sweet two year old who very, very rarely threw fits
has already thrown more this week than he had previously
in his life. We are just praying that this transition time becomes
his new normal sooner rather than later, for all our sakes!
