Happy Birthday Sister

Today my sister turned 3 years old. She wanted to have a Spiderman birthday which I thought was really cool and my Mom even found me an awesome shirt to wear. I had a great time at her party and was a really good boy!!

I'm One Month Old

Lucas had his first month appointment today and it went great!! Our little guy weighed in at 9 pounds which means he gained 3 pounds since we have brought him home. He measured at 21 and 3/4 inches which means he grew almost 2 inches. The doctor checked him over and said that he is perfect and he is right on track for being one month old. We are so glad that he is a happy and healthy little boy and we love him to pieces. Here are some pictures from the doctors office, there not the best because they are from my phone and I forgot to turn on the flash but you get the idea...


Things I don't want to forget about Lucas 0-1 month


Loves music, especially while riding in the car


Loves when his sister talks to him


Starting to enjoy his bath's a little more, before he would just scream the entire time.


Lucas loves to eat!! This kid would eat every 30 minuets if I would let him :) I have to feed him formula along with breast milk because my body can not keep up with how much he wants to eat.


Normally eats 2-4 ounces at a time.


Really enjoys his swing and sleeps the best while he is in there.


Sleeps only 2 - 2 1/2 hours at a time and I am a total zombie.


Is growing out of his newborn clothes already!! They fit in the tummy and arm area but length wise he is too big. Going to be tall like his daddy I imagine!!


Has a cry that will wake up the neighborhood!! When he wakes up you know it, but as soon as you pick him up he is quiet as a mouse.


Has a little squeak that he does when he eats.


Loves to be held and cuddled, he is my little snuggle bunny.


Charlotte has given him a few nicknames they are; little vitamin, little meatball, little celery, and pumpkin pie with whip cream on top.


Mommy and Daddy's nickname is Lukey Lukes


We love you little Lucas, you have completed our family and I couldn't imagine our life with out you. Thank you god for giving us such a perfect and sweet little boy, we are so thankful!!
