Baby Luke: 12 months old

Luke had a great check up at the doctor.  He is now on whole milk and can eat whatever we eat!  The doctor says he shouldn't be drinking out of a bottle anymore - but don't tell Luke that.  He is a good sleeper, gave up the pacifier around 9 months on his own and isn't that picky of an eater.  But trying to get him to drink his milk out of a sippy-cup - DRAMA.  He loves his bottle.  I have been working with him all week and he is starting to show some interest but we aren't completely off the bottle.  I hear it can take a few months for some babies.  Funny thing is he will drink water and his yogurt/juice mix out of a sippy-cup, but definitely feels milk should be in a bottle.  I guess I don't blame him.

Here are his stats:

22 lbs 6 oz

30 inches

Photo Shoot: Lucas Turns 1.

I took Lucas out back again for a photo shoot.  

I still can't believe he is going to turn one this week.  

Where did my baby boy go?  

I remember taking his first photo shoot when he was only a few weeks old.  

Luke just 3 weeks old.

Baby Lucas: 10 Months Old.

Baby boy is just creeping closer to his 1st birthday + I can hardly stand it.  I had some down time at work the other day, so took cute boy outside and took some photos.  He just loves the sunlight!  

Big Boy.

Just Chillin'.

 I "heart" the overalls he got from Gran.  

Before I was even pregnant, I always wanted my babies to wear Oshkosh overalls.  

We were so surprised to get them from Gran last weekend!  

Love you Gran + Granpa.

Baby Lucas: 9 mo old.

Can you believe Luke is 9 months old?  Me either!  Where has the time gone?  I know I haven't slept through the last nine months!  I look like I haven't slept in years.  But he is sooooo cute and soooo worth it.

Our pediatrician from birth moved in November, so I have been contemplating on whether to drive the 20 minutes to their new office (they were 5 minutes away) or find someone else closer.  Being the person that doesn't like to drive, I felt more comfortable finding someone close in the event that we might need the doctor in an emergency.  One less thing to stress about.

So we found a new doctor and Luke had his check-up a few days ago.  We liked her and she is associated with Memorial Hermann - where I gave birth - and attached to the hospital closest to our house.

Luke is in to everything.  He is crawling - fast.  He is standing up on his own.  He is fearless and falls often.  He cruises on the furniture and I honestly believe he thinks he can walk.  He is very brave!

Here are some shots of Luke in action:

Lucas has really slowed down on growing for now.  His stats:

20.10 lbs (50%)

Baby Lucas: 4 months old

Lucas is already 4 months!  It is so hard for Casey + I to believe we have had this bundle of joy living with us since April.  Lucas' 4 month doctors appt isn't until Thursday, but here are some shots of our ever growing boy.  When we get his stats from the doc we will be sure to post them.

Baby Lucas: 3 months old

Lucas doesn't have another check up at the doctor until next month so we don't know his "status" for sure.  But when I weighed him last week he was 13.25 lbs and approximately 25 in long.  

Our boy is growing like a weed!
