Bath Time

Occasionally in the hustle and bustle of double diaper duty life, we find time to bathe. What a concept. Fortunately, Isaiah is quite the little helper when it comes to bathing Luke. Even better, Luke loves baths. I am not sure if it is the warmth of the water, the calmness of the lavender wash, or the gentleness of Isaiah splashing water all over him and laughing hysterically. It is truly a family affair.

Luke's latest and greatest...
Our big guy is already up to 8 lbs 8 ozs! Go Luke! He is quite lucky to have a big brother to show him the ropes and give him hand me down clothes with gingerbread men on them (Isaiah was a Christmas baby). Its never too early to celebrate Christmas, right? Jingle all the way!


Isaiah and Luke look less than enthusiastic for their glam shots. They are pretty darn cute together. Isaiah is completely fascinated by Luke and loves to just stare at him or lay down next to him. He gives him lots of kisses and pets him like a cat (it could be worse). Luke is getting much more attentive in his old age of 5 weeks and totally checks out Isaiah now. Who is this crazy guy? Future best buds...

Family Time

Oh, the blessings of family. How very lucky we are to be related to such wonderful people that care so genuinely for Luke and Isaiah.

What a blast the boys have hanging out with their cousins Mason, Julia and Ethan. Auntie Tiffany is always generously handing out hugs and homemade cookies. And who can forget Uncle Doug (aka the Toddler Whisperer) who is so good at teaching important things like how to give knuckles.


Mema (Christi) is such a joy to have around. She is always willing and available to help out with whatever is needed. Mema is probably Isaiah's favorite playmate. She is always full of energy and such fun to be around. These boys won't be running circles around her.


Ahhh.. the perfect parents. Ok, maybe I am a little biased. Nana/Ma (Nancy) is such a natural with kids. I wonder why. While she was up taking care of Isaiah while Mom and Dad were in the hospital with Luke, he was pretty much attached to her side. Each time he spends time with her he gets smarter and learns something new. She'll probably have him making his own blog in no time at all. There is something about Papa (Terry) that the boys and their cousins just can't get enough of - the enthusiastic smile or the loving embraces, its all great.

Heavyweight

Check out these chins! At his weekly doctor's appointment last Thursday, Luke weighed in at a massive 6 lbs 13 ounces. He almost gained a whole pound last week. What a champ. We also got back the results from his upper GI test, and his digestive system checks out good. Thank you so much to everyone for your continued prayer for our little guy. We are really happy to see him healthy. We are truly blessed.

Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied. -Luke 6:21
Go Luke!

Time for Cookies

You know things are going well, when you have time to bake cookies. Baking is one of Isaiah's favorite activities (just like mom). He seems to like the end of the process the best. I wonder why. He makes for a great dishwasher with that tongue of his.

Luke is doing great. He has been eating like a champ and has his next weigh in tomorrow. We are praying to break into the 6 lb range. We'll keep everyone posted. As for Isaiah, we don't really worry about him gaining more weight. The kid is definitely a healthy porker. Must be all the cookie dough.
