My Baby is TWO already!!!!

Yesterday was Luke's second birthday. I can't believe how fast the time has gone and how much he has grown!! He is such a wonderful little man. He is VERY funny and keeps us laughing all the time. We are so blessed to have him in our lives. His big brother Austin is so great with him and Luke thinks he hung the moon! He is in the copycat stage and does EVERYTHING that his big brother does. He, of course, has no idea that he is only 2 and proceeds to scare us to death with his "copycat" behavior. Just the other day he wanted to try his hand at skateboarding like his big brother and did a face-plant which caused him to laugh hysterically. I guess he is tough because he has a big brother to wrestle with!

Today we had a party for him at his school and went to dinner with his Aunt and cousins this evening. The real party is in a couple of weeks.

Luke was born a month early but arrived healthy at 10:55pm, 6pounds 3 ounces, 19.5 inches AND ON HIS GREAT GRANDMOTHER'S BIRTHDAY TOO! By the time we left the hospital he was down to 5 1/2 pounds. He was so tiny it was almost scary, preemie clothes were even huge on him! Let's just say he has caught up.

I thought it would be fun to show everyone pictures from his birth and some recent ones too. I hope you enjoy them!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUKE (AND NANA TOO!) WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!


Daddy and Big Brother seeing Luke for the first time...my sister-in-law (Tara) was brave enough to come into the operating room with me for my c-section...My husband is NOT big on gore;)

SOOOO Sweet!
I love the following 2 that my mom took when he was 9 days old! (please ignore the fact that I had NO makeup on and, apparently, hadn't even brushed my hair!!!)
