I just can’t. How in the good heavens does time fly through my fingers like this? My baby boy is four years old tomorrow, which might as well be 15 (but goodness thankfully it’s not). What an incredible first four years

Nobody told me that three and a half would be the sweetest time ever, most days at least 😉 it truly is! Luke amazes me day by day. He has the biggest love for his sisters, he is a rock. He has great patience

How does this happen? Three feels like a funny one because three years isn’t enough to feel like birth was that long ago, thus, your tiny little babe’s transformation from newborn to huge, independent-ish, curious, creative, growing by leaps and bounds three year old .. well, it’s all a little much.

These days, our discussions with Luke are busy, to say the least. He has questions and opinions about practically every fanciful thought that dances across his little mind, and he’s deeply engaged in having these things both voiced and resolved nearly immediately. 

A month late .. My big boy is now two!! His tiny two years feel like they’ve packed in an eternity of memories.. laughter, joy, cuddles, late nights, early mornings, stuffy noses, dirty feet, lost patience and intense love! Two years feels small, but with Kate here to remind us how little he once was, two…

I cannot believe that we are already halfway through this year of being ONE! Months?? We don’t even reference these things anymore! He is a one-and-a-half year old, and saying that means plenty to most people we talk with 🙂 Here are a few things I’m loving about our one-and-a-half year old.. +Loves books, bikes…

Little man playing with daddy’s tie after a day of honoring the life of James auntie who just passed. Thankful to have Luke and wonderful memories to brighten things up 🙂  

Hanging out while I cook us some lunch 🙂

We have a little peanut butter lover on our hands..

    Luke is a one year old! I‘ve missed quite a few updates over these last couple months, So now that he is one year old, I couldn’t resist 🙂 On his birthday, we had some friends together after dinner and he had his first cupcake. He’s since had some bites of cake here and there, And it’s…

 We did a very low-key Halloween this year, and had fun browsing around our church’s fall festival with Luke dressed is the coziest little bear suit (Pottery Barn baby has the cutest costumes!).

Our little man is now eating SOLIDS. Well.. they’re not really solid at all, but whatever the case, this six month old loves them. We kinda dragged our feet about feeding him because it just felt like a big leap into the next part of babyhood (diapers included..). I kept making it this huge thing…

My little man crush Monday. I’m taking a break to look at a few pictures while Luke is sick with a cold and there are about a thousand things to complete before the end of this day—and he just looked at me and let out a big one 🙂 So I best be back to…

six months! +now 26 inches and almost 17 pounds, go baby go! +”ah-da-da” and tons of other sounds and half-words are on the regular over here 🙂 (we officially have a babbler!) +exclusively nursing still (and it’s great!), but starting solids soon +almost crawling, which i have no idea if i like that or not!…

I’m proud to say that smile up there was caused by me 😉 So today my baby boy slept in my arms like he did when he was a firstborn (all nestled in my arms, cradle style).. twice!! He hasn’t wanted to be in that position since his “sit-up” muscles have kicked in (although he’s…

A few weeks ago, James family was in town and we grabbed some dinner and took a walk around dusk down one of our favorite spots (East Cliff). I snapped a couple pictures with the family (all girls, except for Luke and James!) and I must say, we have some beautiful family! I love seeing…

luke at four months: +belly squeaking and laughing.. it’s the cutest +babbling much more and distinct “la la” and sometimes a “ma” pops out! +loves toys (specifically a musical monkey and big bird stuffed animal) +much faster nurser than before (praise hands in the air!) +loves walks by the beach and strolling in the stroller…

  a photograph of luke, once a week, every week in 2014. week 28: we are seeing little man’s personality way more these days. giggling (well..high pitched little screeches), watching conversations so intensely, wanting to be held way more. he’s our little joy and burst of energy! i’m pretty sure he’s constantly moving. i’m already…

  a photograph of luke, once a week, every week in 2014. week 24: luke’s first vbs! he’s been snug as a bug this week, cuddling in my wrap and sleeping on the go. i took this right after removing him from the wrap (and a nice nap!) and he was pure joy. love my…
