Weekly Updates No More...
9 Weeks Old:
Where to start...Casey and I are having so much fun with Lucas. We celebrated Christmas with both of our families, which was really wonderful. Santa was still able to come; I guess that means for the two months that Lucas has been here...he has been a good boy. :)
I have completely enjoyed being able to stay home and hang out with Lucas all day. I am starting to work in January, on a part time basis, from home, for my Uncle who works at Northwestern Mutual. We will see how that goes, we are not yet on a "nap schedule", but I am just so thankful that I have the opportunity to stay home and be with Luke.
Casey has been working really hard at work. They have been working on some video projects for his company, which have been hectic but a nice change for him. Fortunately, he has been able to take some time off from work for the holidays. Our three year anniversary is on the 29th of this month...seems so weird that it has been three years already since we got married.
Since seven weeks, Luke has been sleeping very well through the night at least six to seven hours without waking. On Saturday the 26th (two month's) he slept for ten hours straight....I'm not joking...I thought something was wrong. He is really smiling at us and cooing...making lots of talking noises. He is kicking his legs a lot and moving his arms. His eyes are turning from blue to a hazel color and his hair is turning to a lighter brown.
Well, in my next blog, I will try to be more of a modest Mommy. Maybe I will just post photos and keep my mouth quiet. :)

Ahhhh...
Latest Update:
Where do I start. Casey and I are absolutely loving being new parents. I never could have imagined what it would be like to have "our own" baby. I must say though...it is wonderful. Lucas is doing very well. Weeks 2-4 were the hardest weeks. We didn't get very much sleep and Lucas started these screaming fits. We figured out that he loves dancing to the radio...it seems to calm him down immediately. We also found out that he has a little silent reflex, not a lot of spitting up, but lots of gas in his tummy :(
He started smiling at week 4, which was super fun. I am really looking forward to his little giggles. At six weeks he slept for four days in a row for seven hours straight. :) "Happy Mommy and Daddy" ;)
I never imagined it would be so difficult to get things done, however. I find that when he naps, I have the choice to either nap myself, go to the bathroom, make some food to eat, clean the house, play with Dodge...he sleeps longer if he is sleeping on me. If I lay him down...I maybe have a half an hour at the most to go and do something.
But on Christmas he will be two months old and I can't believe how fast it is going. He is changing so quickly. But we are loving every minute!
