To make up for my 10 day absence, here are a host of pictures. I do plan to have a few other posts in the next week with more substance, but picture posts will just have to do for now.
2 week old pic
3 week old pic
Some cross-eye action goin' on
Luke and Biker ... just chillin'
Aunt N, my sister, meeting Luke for the first time
My mom, Luke and my sister, N
We like to sleep with our arms up ... perhaps Luke is conducting music in his sleep?!?
Posing with the bear we also gave his Birth Mom ... we have one too so we can take weekly & monthly pics so she can see how big he is getting
With hubby's grandma ... Luke's Great Grandma E ... who adopted his mom and sister.
She wasn't able to have kids, but by God's grace & the gift of adoption, was able to be a mom. She's so proud of her great-grandson!
She has been my inspiration through it all.
Another cute sleeping position
Sleeping with Mom
My brother-in-law, my sister (see above)'s hubby ... Uncle B
We like to stick out our tongue a lot!
Here's a tongue shot with eyes wide open ... something we're seeing more of now!
Action shot ... or kung-fu fighting!
Pensive look ... Mom, you're taking too many pics!
How are the cats doing? They know no different. :-)
We have had no trouble with them and Luke ... even at night.
Just to prove he's not always smiley ... a series of shots taken while hungry and trying to change his diaper before feeding him ...














I'm glad to see the update and all the pictures. Seems like adoption is a family tradition. : )
ReplyDeleteWhy be at the computer when you have a cute baby in real life? I don't think I'd be hanging out in my basement either.
My thoughts exactly! :-)

ReplyDeleteOh, so beautiful! I love this...love, love, love it!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, he is absolutely precious! Don't worry about updates, just enjoy that baby! Although the pictures are nice :).
ReplyDeleteOkay, the kung-fu fighting in his sleep and the pensive looking one are my favorites!!! So cute!!!!!!!!!!!! I love seeing these pics and I agree don't worry about the lack of posting, just throw us a bone every now and then and post pics. As you can tell, I have been horrible about posting and commenting as I am just now reading this post...ugh...sorry!
ReplyDeleteWow, where in the world have I been?! You have a son!!!! And he is absolutely adorable!!!! So much has happened in your life is such a short period of time, but what wonderful happenings!!! God has certainly heard your prayers and blessed you with the sweetest baby. And I love that you prayed to St. Joseph too, wow, is there anything he can't help us with? I will be praying prayers of thanksgiving for your family. God bless!!
ReplyDeleteHe is so dang cute! Love his little hair tuft :)

Your boy is so cute! I adopted my daughter a year ago and sh eis the best thing in my life. When I was a new adoptive mother, I found a lot of great advice at http://onlineceucredit.com/edu/social-work-ceus-cpa. I hope this is helpful for other new adoptive parents.
