Happy Friday! Luke and I are very excited to have Daddy back after his week in Cape Breton! We definitely kept busy, which really helped. We had a playdate at Kerianne's Wednesday morning, and she managed to snap a few pics for us, which we absolutely love!! Here is the pic I sent to Doug as his "Wednesday Luke fix" pic...he got spoiled that day for sure:))

Luke and I are all alone this week-Doug is working in Cape Breton until Thursday. It's so hard for Doug to not be here with us-I know he misses us terribly (and we miss him!). I am sending him a jpeg every day so he can "see" him:)) Thankfully, I have lots planned this week in terms of playdates and other outings, and my mom is spending the nights with us as well, which is great help and company. .jpg)
Luke is such a little ham now-all smiles and giggles, which is so much fun!! We tried him in his jumperoo for the first time about a week ago, and he loves it! No real bouncing yet, but he loves the music and lights. I just picked up a jolly jumper, but he's a little wobbly yet for it. He is getting really good sitting in his bumbo chair, though-I can't get over how strong his neck is getting. He's been sleeping well lately (knock on wood). He's still going down late (b/w 11 to 11:30) but he's not getting up until 7 or later (today was 9 am!)

Here are some pics of the past week-we had a nice dinner at our friends' place Saturday night, and Luke got to play with his friend Ben (who's 6 months). Ben LOVED Luke....the second pic is of him giving Luke a scalp massage:))

3 months old
Luke turned 3 months old yesterday! He's really developing quite a little personality, and is so active now! He kickes all the time, and likes to roll over on his side whenever we lie him down on his back, and loves to roll right over from front to back.
We don't have a baby scale so I don't have a really accurate weight, but he's definitely gotten a lot bigger than last check! He's about 26 inches long now, and wearing size 3 diapers comfortably. He is really starting to focus on objects for longer periods of time, and likes to bat at his friends on the activity mat, plus stare at the incredibly handsome baby in the mirror:) He brakes out a huge smile for whoever gives him a happy face, and is starting to laugh and giggle...it is the CUTEST sound I've ever heard!!
In terms of eating and sleeping, he's a bit all over the place right now b/c of jet lag and getting over his first cold, but in general he sleeps 6-7 hours strait at night, followed by a feed (usually 4-6 oz per feed of formula plus what he gets from nursing), and then he'll go back down for a nap for about 1 hour. After that, it depends on the day, but he's usually up and active for all but 3 naps (that range from 30 min to 2 hours). When we first got back from Victoria he wound't go down at night until 2:30 am (they are 4 hours behind us), but we now have him going down around 11:00 pm, so hopefully we can get him to consistently go down before 10:00 pm soon. He has "slept throught the night" for 9 hours a few times (apparently sleeping for 6 hours is called "sleeping through the night" when babies are under 1 year, but that doesn't sound like a good night's sleep to me!), but in general we are lucky to get 7 hours....we are thankful he gives us that long, but can't wait for when he'll go down all night:)
Here are a few pics we took yesterday...looking so grown up!!

Quick Holiday Recap
Happy New Year!
We're back from our Christmas vacation from Victoria, and I can't believe it's January! The holidays flew by so quickly, but we had a blast. Luke got spoiled rotten for his first Christmas, and he was such a good boy for the plane rides to and from B.C. He slept the entire leg of the flight b/w Toronto and Victoria (over 5 hours!) going, and coming home didn't sleep a lot as he was feeling under the weather, but was still an angel. I, unfortunately caught whatever he had, so I'm feeling miserable, but hopefully I'll be all better soon:)
It was so nice to see Doug's family and have them meet the little man, and also to spend time with my sister and her family-now all the cousins have met Luke!
Luke will be 3 months old on Jan 10th, and I am astounded at how much he's changed just in the past few weeks! He is holding up he head so well now (he can even sit in his Bumbo for a few minutes with a steady neck!) and has rolled over from front to back every day since his first roll over at 11 weeks! It's so neat to see him learn and develop. I can't wait to break open the exersaucer and jumperoo....I may need to wait a month or so for those though:)
I'll do his official stats on Jan 10th-he's definitely a big boy!
