Lucas Turns Two.

How did my baby boy get to be so big?  

It has been a month now since Luke turned two.  

And he wakes up everyday that much closer to being a BIG big boy.

We had a "Sundae at the Park" birthday party for him.

At this point his birthday is still for the adults, but I will say these kids really 

get into the present thing - even at two!

It was hot to say the least.  And having ice cream outside of a freezer 

wasn't the best idea.  But needless to say, we had a great time celebrating Luke.

Monday was his actual birthday.

So we had to make him feel special all over again - of course.

 ~Happy Birthday!~

When Luke turned 1, I did a photo shoot with him in the backyard.

Do you remember this adorable photo?

So I decided I will do this every year on his birthday.  

At least I will try.

Here is his 2 year old photo.

Boy what a difference a year makes.

We love you Big Boy!

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.

Hello Mr. Sunshine!

I think it's safe to say it has been a cold winter all over the country and Houston is no exception.  The sun finally showed its face the other day, so I took Luke outside to sit in the grass.  Of course that meant he had to eat the grass, but what are you gonna do?  I will tell you what i did - stuck a paci in it!  It's hard to to eat something when your mouth is occupied!

Here is big boy enjoying Mr. Sunshine.

Lucas is so observant + takes everything in.

And very good with his hands + feet.

I could just eat those little fingers + toes!

Notice paci in mouth so he won't eat his new finding.

Lucas spit out the paci + ate grass!  Smart Boy.

The black eye is healing.

Backyard Photo Shoot(s): I, II + III

When Lucas was three weeks old, I took him out back and did my first "photo shoot" with him.  Gran Clemmer was staying with me at the time; she and I had such a blast.  Our hearts melted every time he made a move or sound.  He was so little and so precious.

For some reason, those photos never made it to the blog.  Probably b/c I was so sleep deprived.  Here are just a few of my favorites:

We used this one for our birth announcement.

I can't believe he ever fit in this tub.

Boy! has Lucas changed in just the first 6 months of his life.  He is finally fitting into some of the cute outfits people gave us along the way.  I did another photo shoot with him a few weeks ago b/c he just looked so cute.  Not that I really ever need a reason to take photos of him.

 He loved the feeling of the grass.

 I love his little feet + love to put him in cute socks.

 He is very serious like his mom + dad.

Luke is very close to crawling.  I loved this shot.

And now with the holidays right around the corner, I am working on Lucas' first Christmas card.  Here is just a "tease" of the photo shoot we did a few days ago. 

Keep your eye out for our Christmas Card this year!
