3 months!

Today, July 29th, Luke is 3 months old! He has gotten so big--and heavy! When I weighed him yesterday he weighed 15 lbs, 14 ozs. What a chunk! He is such a good boy and makes both Phil and me laugh all the time with his funny faces and silly sounds. We are absolutely in love with the little stinker and can't imagine life without him. It's amazing how much he has grown up and how quickly! Here are a few new things that our big boy is doing these days:

~ He has discovered his hands... he now holds them together against his chest, like he is about to say his prayers.

~ He has finally figured out how to suck his right thumb--sideways! I need to get a picture of this. It's too cute.

~ He has learned to roll over from his tummy to his back. It's not my favorite of his new tricks because he sleeps on his tummy, so now he likes to roll onto his back and then cry when he can't get back onto his tummy to go to sleep.

~ He is STILL obsessed with his feet and will stare at them whenever he gets the chance.

~ He laughs now, but it is the funniest sound. It's almost like he's clearing his throat or something. It's hilarious.

~ He has gotten super-fast at breast feeding and only takes about 5 minutes on each side. Mommy is delighted! It's waaaaaaaay better than the days when it took about 20-25 minutes on each side.

~ He can hold his head up pretty well now and can sit in his Bumbo seat for a good while before getting tired of holding up his huge noggin.

~ He loves looking at books and will look from one page to the next and really study the pictures. I am hoping that he'll always love books, since Phil and I do!

~ He watches our lips when we talk and tries so hard to mimic what we do and say. His best talking time is right after he wakes up.

~ He has discovered the TV and could stare at it forever...we're in trouble!

Here are some pictures of Luke, the 3 month old!


SO cute!


Happy boy in his big boy seat.


FEEEEETTTT!!!


I sat him here to take his picture sitting up like a big boy, and he was mesmerized by the TV instantly....


...and then when he saw the camera he started acting silly. He looks like he weighs 16 pounds, doesn't he?!
