Life with Luke

We have been adjusting to life with a newborn all over again. Well actually we've been watching him sleep. Luke is now 5 weeks old and the center of our universe. He is weighing in at almost 11 lbs. He still sleeps most of the day, but when he's up, he's really alert. In his short time on earth he has overcome jaundice, a clogged tear duct, scaly skin and baby acne. I'm so looking forward to him having normal baby skin.


The Boys

Bonding with Daddy.
We've come to the conclusion that Luke is a lighter version of Dad.



What's so funny?
I love the way Mike's hands dwarf him.



Super Grammie.
Grandma V has been such a huge help the past 5 weeks.
She takes the kids to school every morning and makes dinner for us every night.
She says that I need to take it easy for the full 6 weeks. OKAY Grammie, if you insist.



I wouldn't post a picture of him until he decided that baths were a good thing.
It broke my heart to see him scream bloody-murder everytime I put him in the tub.
He finally realized that baths are not the enemy.




Chillin in his swing



This was all he did up until last week



Hanging out like one of the big kids.
Other then being a little sleep deprived, all is going well. The kids continue with their busy schedules. They start Spring Break on Thursday and when they go back there will only be 7 weeks left of school! The end is near. Yahoo!

Gabbi,
Sounds like things are going okay. I have wanted to come up and take a peek at him. But I also wanted to wait until things settled down some too. I will call first, but I am anxious to come see him. He is beautiful. And I love the picture of all 5 of the kids!! Beautiful family!!

Only you can get all 5 of your kids looking for a picture. Meghan is still sleeping, so that could be good news for your future:) We had the clogged tear duct and flakey skin too. These kids!!!

Sorry we didn't get there today. all 3 kids were sick:(
