Luke is 1 Month Old!

Our little Luke is one month old and we can hardly believe how the time has flown by! I guess that is mostly because our days seem to mesh one into the other -- I go from tired and bleary eyed feeding at 3 am to a tired and bleary eyed feeding at 3 pm. We wouldn't trade it, though. We are so in love with this little guy!

Here are a few pics to show just how much he has grown.

Filling out his car seat well.

Wearing big boy clothes.

A little love from Mommy.

Finally someone else can help feed you in the wee hours!

Dr. Fine delivered Luke in scrubs and high heels. My kind of woman!
