1 Month

Today Luke is one month old. He is growing too fast! He has started to focus on things and make small responses. For instance, if you stick your tongue out at him, he will try to stick his tongue out at you. I so badly wish I could know what is going through his little brain. He has been sleeping really well at night and last night went 5 hours before waking up to eat. He is eating 3-4 ounces 7 times a day. He got a new dog rug this week and he absolutely loves it. We put it on the floor and he will just lay there on it for hours and look around and then fall asleep. I love the faces he makes when he is waking up. He will stretch his back and wrinkle up his forehead and looks like an old man. It is the cutest thing.

Jessica came to see us this week and helped us get our bonus room set up. Up until this weekend it has just been a huge pile of junk so we are very grateful for her and the motivation she brought with her. We already miss her!

Derek's family is in town for Thanksgiving and we are enjoying them all very much. Right now Luke is watching 'Dancing with the stars' with his 83 year old Nana! I guess that is all for now. I hope I don't ever forget these precious moments. Praise the Lord for such a sweet baby!

Settling in...

Luke and I (2 weeks old)

These are some pictures from his first 3 weeks at home. We are finally getting some sort of routine. We eat at the same time each day and have started to only need one night feeding. Momma is very excited about sleeping 4 hours at a time. When we brought Luke home from the hospital he was Jaundice and we had to feed him every 2 hours for the first week and then he didn't weigh enough at his 2 week appointment so we had to up his feedings and on week 4 we are feeding every 3 hours and letting him sleep as long as he will at night. So far that has been 4 hours. It is amazing to me how stinkin cute he is at 4 o'clock in the morning. I just want to kiss his cheeks all of the time! This is the first week I am at home by myself with him. My mom was here for 2 weeks and then Grana (Derek's mom) came for a week. It was so wonderful to have so much help for the first three weeks. My house is spotless and I have lots of food in the freezer.

Thanks Unyun and Grana!

Dear Aunt Angie...

Aunt Angie wasn't able to come to Alabama for Luke's birth so we made her this video.

The Wednesday night supper club (minus kids)

Derek and I are so fortunate to have made such wonderful friends in Troy. We love them very much and enjoy every time we get to hang out with them.

Thanks Nelson's and Jones' for coming to see us! Can't wait until Luke is old enough so that we can get back into the normal Wednesday night routine!
