Toy Chewing

Luke's latest favorite thing to do - chew anything that comes near his mouth. He's an indiscriminate eater!

3 month birthday and more

It's been a while since our last posting! Two weekends ago we celebrated two birthdays: mine (boring!) and Luke's (3 months - what a milestone). He's learned all sorts of new things, like reaching for toys, putting his hand in his mouth, semi-rolling over, and kicking objects with his legs. It's amazing how much pride we can take in these little things! Anyway, here are some of our favorite pictures of the past few weeks.

USA or bust!

February marked Luke's first trip to the US. He did remarkably well on the plane, much to the relief of mom, who traveled solo with Luke on the way there. Mom's only gripe was with the drunk man that sat across the aisle from us and kept shoving clips of "Futorama" on his PDA in Luke's face. Mom had to growl and show her teeth to make him stop. Here's a picture of us before boarding the plane. Notice Luke's special plane outfit (thanks Nonna!). By the way, that's not the plane that we took across the atlantic!



Our first stop was DC where we saw many of our closest friends and watched the patriots lose in the superbowl. We then drove to NY to visit grandad and An Ping. We walked around the big apple, where Alex and I stressed about the hordes of people, cacophonous sirens, and car&truck exhausts that were obviously aimed at upsetting Luke. But Luke was unphased by it all and slept like an angel most of the time. More important than seeing the big apple was seeing grandad and An Ping. Luke got along marvelously with them both, and hopes to see them soon again!

Mirror mirror on the wall...

Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all? My friend Kris gave Luke a great present: a mirror to look at. He loves it, especially when mom is inside the mirror. But who is that other person next to mom?
