Big Boy Lukers

Take a look at Luke's passport photo!  Isn't it hilarious?  He looks like a little man instead of a 2 1/2 month old. We got that taken last week.  I had to renew my passport so thought we should go ahead and get him one too, just in case we need to go anywhere.  Thanks Walgreens photo department!

Luke is hitting the milestones like nobody's business.  He is so strong and getting so big.  He is wearing some of his 6 month old outfits already if you can believe it!  Luke is grabbing his toys and doing some tug of war type games.  He has found his hands are very fun toys as well, his left hand likes to play with his right hand and vice versa almost all day long.  They also like to go in his mouth a lot, I'm talking almost a whole fist at a time.  I also am very happy to report that he is officially the world's best sleeper.  For the past 2 nights he has slept TEN hours straight at night.  Crazy, right?  I kept checking to see if he was still breathing.  The first night I thought it was a fluke, but last night it happened again so I'm hoping it is here to stay.  We were thinking that weaning him of his night feeding would be quite the project (Ferber method, etc.) but we seemed to have skipped all that drama.  At least for now:)  Knock on wood.

The other big news is that our nanny started!  Isolene started last Monday, the 15th, so we could have some transitional time where we're both home.  Isolene is amazing, very loving and very organized.  She's already organized all of our closets and Luke smiles when he sees her every morning!  As wonderful as she is, I'm not going to lie, the first couple days were pretty hard for me.  It really hit home that I was going to have to give up my precious Luke to someone else's care for most of the day and that makes me really sad.  I thought I was going to take this much better than I am, I'm surprised by my emotions.  But I've had some great talks with several of my incredibly supportive friends and they are making me feel much better about my decision to go back to work.  Thank you guys!
