Luke's Room

Luke loves his new mobile from his Uncle Matt, Aunt Michelle and cousin Adeline. He stares up at his fish in the morning just chatting away with them giving Mommy and Daddy a little extra sleep!
This is a shelf that the Minors gave Luke. It took us a while to hang it up but now that it's up doesn't it look so cute!

Two Month Check Up!

Today we had Luke's two month check up! They have him get near naked and wait in a freezing room for the doctor. Here are a few pictures of Rob keeping him warm while we wait.
The doctor said Luke looked great. He even called him chubby! He had four shots today, two in each thigh. He was a real trooper though. He only screamed when he got the shots and then calmed right down with some snuggles from Mommy. His stats are below!
Weight~ 13 pounds 10 ounces (90th percentile)
Length~23 1/2 inches (73rd percentile)
Head circumference~15 1/2 inches (40th percentile)

One year and counting!


Hard to believe it's been a year already! Let's see we got married, went to Belize, bought a house, got pregnant, made it through two knee operations, pre-term labor and our first child was born! I'd say we've had a very busy year. Here's to many more exciting years together and a lot less time in the hospital!

For our anniversary Rob and I went to dinner and a movie. We dropped Luke off at the Jackson's and headed over to CPK for my all time favorite salad. Then we went to The Esplanade for "Dan in Real Life". Dinner was great, the movie was wonderful and the time together was much needed. I think we both look forward to doing it again soon. Now who should be call to babysit this time...

Happy Halloween!

Here is a group shot of all the ghouls!
Ben: Evil Pirate
Colin: Creepy old man
Patrick: Robot
Luke: Pumpkin

Our little Pumpkin however was not a ghoul.

The Schneiders first Halloween.

I'm a terrible blogger...

Mom and Jon had us up to Munds Park twice in October. We all had a great time. We went for walks, went night elk seeking, drove into town (Flagstaff), played mexican train, lounged around in our PJ's all day, had a bar-b-que and lots of other things! We even got to go see the Foster's cabin when Mike, Suzanne and the Schneiders were up for a visit. Here are a few pictures from our trip. Lots more can been seen on our picasa web albums!

My Secret Weapon

It turns out Luke is a lot like his Dad and not just in physical appearance. Luke is proving to be a bit of a night owl. I however am not a night owl or a morning person these days. I tend to prefer "normal" sleeping hours and with Luke's new awake hours of 9pm to 2am I've had to try out some new techniques to calming the beast. On several occasions Luke has near instantly calmed down and gone to sleep listening to the sweet sounds of Cyndi Lauper's Time after Time. When Cindy doesn't cut it a little vacuuming at 4am seems to do the trick as well!
