A week (or two) of firsts!

I wanted to make a post last week of Luke's "firsts"--his first car ride, first playdate, first time meeting our dogs, etc... but it's much harder to sit and blog than I thought it would be! So here's some pictures of Luke's first two weeks at home!
Luke's first car ride-coming home from the hospital



After being in the hospital five days, we finally made it home!
Luke's all bundled up under the blanket! It was a little windy!

Luke meets our dogs, Yoda and Ralph. We were really nervous about how our dogs would act around Luke (they can be pretty hyper!) but they have done so well. They pretty much just stay away from him or just come up to smell him!



Luke's first bath--needless to say, he hated it! He really doesn't like being cold or having his clothes off, so this wasn't an enjoyable experience for the little guy. But I'm sure one day he's going to love it!





We've had LOTS of family and friends come by to meet little Luke! It's been so good to see everyone--especially since we can't leave the house very much!





Carrie and Seth stopped by--it worked out perfectly that they were in town celebrating Carrie's birthday!

Luke's first playdate! April, Mason, Danyelle, and Audrey came over to hang out and meet little Luke.

I know this sounds a little funny but Madelyn hated her bath at first too. When her belly button stump fell off I started putting her on my legs while I was in the bath tub.(while your sitting, put your knees up and place him on you thighs) She loved it then!! I think babies enjoy the closeness and the warmth of our bodies and the tub water. I hope everything is going well. I can't wait to meet your little guy!

He is just too cute!!! I am SO SO glad it worked out for me to meet him!!!! I could just eat him up. I hope Colt can meet him soon! He is obsessed with babies right now. He would love Luke!

It was fun to see you too. I hope you are feeling good and enjoying this precious time with Luke!

Call me when you get a free sec! (ha!) I miss you!

Oh wait, we had a play date? I guess you can call it that! :) That's too funny. Luke was SO into his little friends! I think he was annoyed by them though. And that's funny that Luke's little bath was in the middle of his bedroom! That's so much more cozy than the kitchen sink or bathroom! But why did we get home to our babies at 1:15 this morning? That just seems like the biggest dream.

haha...I just reread my comment...and it makes little sense! It is WAY too late for me to be up posting comments on blogs!
Anyway, love you and your little family so much!
