one month old!

hi (it's me, ben). luke is already one month old (plus three days)! we love having him around (although he does cry a bit too much, if you ask me) and love watching him grow and discover the world with each new day. here we are hanging out this morning...

and here i am wearing daddy's slippers around a bit...

and luke is napping right now - this is what he looks like! sorry kid, momma has to take the naps however she can get them at this point... he used to be really good about napping in his bed, or really anywhere for that matter, but lately he's been a little high maintenance (not at all unlike how i was at that age, sorry mom!) and has to be "worn" to sleep and then gently placed in the swing.

mom and i can usually get a little quality one-on-one play time in throughout the day, but usually not for very long. i'm trying to be an understanding sport about it though, and can occupy myself by coloring (which i love to do lately) or reading books to myself. and i still love to play with anything on wheels and am actually doing really well at keeping myself entertained. but of course i still manage to fit in several tantrums a day and love looking forward to the next snack time, so i'm managing pretty well. okay, i guess that's all for now. since things are kind of crazy around here, we'll try to post again soon, but it may not be for another couple years or so, once things settle down a bit. :) bye!!
