Dallas Blooms

This past Saturday afternoon, Stephanie and I decided it was a great day to visit the Dallas Arboretum. I can't describe what an amazing place this is during this time of the year. It truly is one of the most beautiful gardens I've ever seen!  We are definitely planning to go back soon.

Here are the originals:

4 months

Luke is 4 months today!  He is getting to be such a big boy.  Here are some things that he has been up to lately.

• He has learned to stand up with just a bit of assistance and loves being on his feet.
• He loves hanging out in the baby bjorn where he can see everything going on.
• He is starting to like a bit of tummy time on the boppy and his arm strength is growing.
• He really likes to be outside and go for strolls.
• He has lots of drool and chews on his hands all the time.
• He is grabbing at toys and enjoys anything that rattles.
• More and more he follows me around the room when others hold him.
• He loves to be sung to and read to.
• He no longer sleeps in a swaddle.
• His eyes are still really blue, we will see if they turn more green like ours.
• He weighs in at 14 lbs 11 oz (50%) 26 1/4 in (91%) - tall and thin, just like his dad

It's been a tough month of changing naps and cranky days, but I wouldn't change it for anything.   He is just so sweet and I feel so lucky to be his mom and to get the hang out with him each day.

Our boy is growing...

Here are some 3 month photos of Luke and a video of him talking with Stephanie. He loves to smile at us now and as you can see has quite the vocabulary! He's sleeping through the night now and continues to put on weight and height. I think he looks just like his mom, but with my long and lean body.
