Luke Takes His Nap

 Luke is sleeping and napping with a blanket now.  He likes to stick his fingers in the holes. He does tend to pull it up over his head, and we need to pull it down now and again. Thankfully there are lots of holes in it.

Luke Loves Twinkie

 Luke is very interested in Twinkie nowadays. He is always staring at her, and wanting to touch her.

Luke shows his love for Twinkie... then immediately realizes the implications this could have on his political career.

 

"I'm gonna need that camera!"

Five and a Half Months

 Luke is learning to use a cup by watching Mommy and Daddy.

He does get a little confused sometimes.

That's not a cup little man!

Halloween 2011

Everyone dressed up for the neighborhood halloween party. We are unsure if Luke is a dinosaur or a dragon.  We do agree he's super cute.

Luke Drinks From a Bottle

 Luke is slowly learning to hold his own bottle, but still get distracted and forgets he's controlling the bottle.

"When I'm home alone with Daddy, I control what and when I eat!"

The Bouncy

 

 "I do what in this?"

Enjoying Rice Cereal

Luke giggles and laughs and make food time a crazy ride.

5 Months Old

"Mommy made this sweater for me."

"I'm not sure how I feel about this sweater."

Luke Eats Rice Cereal For the First Time

Look Ma, No Hands

At least no one elses' hands.

Ah no, he did not pull himself up to stand next to the ottoman.  He had help from Daddy.

Beautiful Weekend in Chicago

We decide to stop in Chicago on our way back from a wedding in Michigan.  The weather was beyond perfect, and Luke loved every minute of it.

 From walking with Mommy...

 Eating lunch at Giordanos Pizza with Daddy...

 The fountain in front of Navy Pier...

 All the lights and people around the ferris wheel...

 Walk through Lincoln Park and the zoo...

Even to take a sip of water with Mommy...  or so he tried.

Luke and Mommy, Ready For the Day

Cooking with Mommy

"How's that dinner coming along?"

"Never mind, I'll just eat my hand."
