Our First Family Photos

We took these photos in some orchards in Provo. My good friend Michelle Evans Sallay took our family photos, and in exchange I took her family photos in the same place. I thought they turned out nicely.

My sister crochetted these hats for me and Luke. They are so cute!

Pumpkin Baby

First off, I need to post Luke's 2 month old portrait. He's growing so fast at 12 lbs. 2 oz. and 23 inches long! He's in the 50th percentile for height and weight. We feel so grateful to have such a healthy growing boy!

Our Pumpkin Baby

This is our prize winner pumpkin!

Thanks to my friend Andrea for gifting us the pumpkin outfit!

It was perfect!

Luke was so excited to go trunk or treating with our ward so he could show off his costume.

Fortunately, he's not ready to eat candy yet!

Luke can hold up his head pretty good already!

Daddy's favorite pumpkin!

We had so much fun dressing up Luke. We can't wait till next year!

Luke's Baby Blessing

Last Sunday Eddy gave Luke a beautiful blessing at church.

Here are some cute pictures of Luke in his blessing outfit.

Luke was so excited for his blessing! :)

"Quit taking pictures of me Mom!"

This is Eddy and his dad on his blessing day. Can you see any resemblance with Luke?

Luke's outfit came with this cute beanie.

Luke tolerated the photo session.

Our happy, little family

Mommy absolutely loves and adores her little Luke.

Luke's First Bonfire

Krisi has been doing a lot of family history lately and had some names to take to the temple, and I was going to babysit Luke so she could do it. It so happened that my friends planned to have a bonfire in the canyon the same night, so I ended up taking Luke to his first bonfire.

Luckily everyone was willing to hold our baby.

I was able to do a little dutch oven cooking.

I'm glad that we have a boy and I'm excited to be able to take him camping when he gets a little older! We missed you Krisi!

(Thanks John for organizing this, and thanks Sam and Clint for taking the pictures.)

6 Weeks Old!

Time moves swiftly by! Luke is already 6 weeks old! We are enjoying our little guy and we're so grateful he is a healthy baby. So far he is growing fast and gaining 1 pound a week!

Our precious 6 week old.

Luke and Daddy

Grumpy baby...but oh, so cute.



Picnic in the canyon

We took Luke up Big Cottonwood Canyon for a nice picnic before the weather got too cold.

Luke's aunt and uncle joined us.

"Property of Mommy and Daddy"

Eddy wore this outfit when he was a baby. It was fun to put it on Luke and get a few pictures.

We love our growing boy!

Sleepy Baby

What Luke does best right now besides being fussy, is sleeping. I know they say moms should sleep when their baby sleeps--but as you can see, I can't help but take pictures of Luke!

It was fun to catch Luke smiling in his sleep. I wish it meant he was having a nice dream, but we all know it means something completely different!

Samantha and Abbie are proud of their new cousin.

Cousin Sarah--future babysitter--(I hope!)

I know it won't be long that these eyes will be open for most of the day...but for now, I will enjoy my sleepy baby.

Welcome Home Luke!

Luke is home! The first thing we did was give Luke a tour of our townhome and show him his room, the nursery.

Visitors
My sister and a few of her kids came to see their brand new cousin.

We hope when Luke gets older he can play with his cousin Alex

Playing with Luke in our backyard

It's so fun to watch the different kinds of faces babies will make!

Grandma Time

My mom has been so wonderful to help me these first days of adjusting to being home with the baby.

My mom and I gave Luke his first sponge bath at home. He cried quite a bit. The only thing he liked was when we washed his hair. I couldn't get pictures of the event since I was the one bathing him, but these pictures are after the fact.

Clean baby Luke.

I had to get this funny shot of the pacifier engulfing Luke's face.

Mommy baby time

It's so fun having our sweet Luke home with us.

Welcome home Luke, we love you!
