This week has gone by in a flash..we had a great and super busy 4th of July. My favorite holiday! Our friends came by to see the house and visit with Luke and Luke LOVED cuddling with Aunt Patty and Uncle Nash! Then, we went to our friend's house for BBQ and visit with our Red Raider friends and their kids.(aggies and sooners there too) It was great seeing everyone and my friend Chris made some GREAT smoked ribs. My friend Dee is having a baby girl next month and I can't wait! Baby Danielle is going to be blessed with much love :) After our visit with friends we headed to Nana and Papa's house for some more family and friend fun...Luke was loving the cuddle time with everyone and was a happy baby all day! I think it was because I dressed him up in a super awesome 4th of July outfit...ok, maybe not the reason but I sure loved it.

GOD BLESS THE USA! Especially our troops and their families who fight for our country!! |
Luke had to rest up for our busy day ahead...I wanted to get pics with his cousins, but I ran out of energy to get them all ready by the time we got to my parents. Dang, missed photo opp.
Aren't these two pees in a pod?
I love this pic of my lil love bug!! He looks so old...all 8 weeks old. haha. This was the first day of our last week at home together and I was loving our snuggle time after he got done eating.
He always falls asleep after eating...I hate to wake him up to give him clean britches..but, it has to be done. Most of the time I do it before he eats, but sometimes he is too mad to wait on eating.
Sleepy momma and his tummy was grumbling and not so happy baby. He looks like his daddy for sure here! lol
Another morning snuggle with momma after eating.
I'm going to miss all these special moments that I got to experience being home with my love bug. I'm so glad that I was able to stay home with him for these 8 weeks. Tomorrow I will take his 2 month photo...can you believe it? There are no words for how blessed and lucky I am to be a mommy. I never thought I would be able to have a baby and get to know what this feels like. My life has a meaning that was missing and I will forever cherish this feeling and love every new chapter with him!
At 2 months...Luke loves to coo and have conversations about college football, the Rangers, and books that we read together. I'm glad he can't tell me how bad my singing is yet. haha. He lifts his head and stretches his legs with a lot of strength. He is really good at focusing on things now and laughs at his mobil in his swing..I love watching him do that! He will follow me with his eyes when I walk by him and its hard to not kiss him every time, because I can't resist his smile and huge blue eyes. He is starting to feel his hands now and holds them together and eats them. He is still eating every 2hrs and at night about every 3hrs. He slept 1 night for 6hrs from 12am to 6am and I woke up at 4am ready to nurse him, but he just slept away. I couldn't go back to sleep and kept feeling him or stared at him thinking..any minute now he is going to wake up. Why couldn't I sleep?!
Luke will have his 2month check-up in a couple weeks, but from my calculation he is weighing around 11 pounds now :)
My favorite moments are when he isn't smiling and talking with me is when he snuggles on my chest or wraps his arms around my shoulders.
